You have to make your api if you want advanced drawing primitives... or wait for cobalt.
Well, if you call a thick line advanced :-)
Generally you can do everything with WinDrawPixels(..), but some "basic" operations like drawing ellipsoids or stuff would be nice. I can't believe it's that big a function.
The easy tricks:
You can easily simulate a thick line by two lines:
Line(x1 ,y1 ,x2 ,y2 ) Line(x1+1,y1+1,x2+1,y2+1)
Thanks, that should do it for now. Could have thought of that myself. Well, the ends won't be very nice if you have a 45deg line. Plus it would be nice to have antialiasing ... and and and ...
The head of the arrows... a bitmap this works is it's only left right up and down.
I would need all directions :-{
Guess I want too much. But hey, I'm a posh kid pampered by all those nice little glittering APIs I know from my PC...
So hasn't anyone done a library for drawing yet? Like there's a MathLib? Don't have time to wait till Cobalt, nor the money to buy a new device.
Thanks, Jan
