A novel plugin for REALbasic developers is presented. This plugin defines a Drawable and Alpha Blending Layer you can present with or without a REALbasic window (such as window1). With a REALbasic window you can draw outside this window, and above all you can create multiple instances of "Drawable" layered on top of each other. If you want to utilize pictures then png pictures are preferred and in that case we would recommend you to download the PNG Utilities Plugin from Frank Condello <http://developer.chaoticbox.com/> or the GraphicsFormats plugin from Bjorn Eiriksson <http://www.einhugur.com>.
Bottom line: Amalgam allows custom drawing and definition of a drawer window. It can be used to overlay windows, and to animate windows. This plugin is MacOS X 10.4 and Windows 2000/NT/XP compatible and you will need REALbasic 2006 or later. Visit: http://homepage.mac.com/vanhoek/ to checkout a screen shot and download link.
