Hello list! I am new to the plugin list but have been reading the NUG list for many years. I am finally tired waiting to see if RS will ever implement CMYK graphics capabilities because I don't think it will happen. I've decided to try and write a plugin to implement this myself, but I have two main problems:

1) I've never written a plugin for RB. I'm interested in any newbie tips, gotchas, etc. Is there a starter kit someplace? I seem to remember some time ago that someone was putting together a set of starter functions for XCode to act as a plugin template. Is there someplace I can find this, or something like it?

2) I would like my CMYK graphics to support all of the native RB graphics drawing routines for both bitmap and vector objects. I really, really don't want to code all of the various drawing routines myself. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how I might tap into RB's RGB graphics routines and implement them in a new cmyk graphics object. I made a pretty poor attempt at this using native RB code, which you can look at here <http://ljug.com/sw/rbextra.html> to get an idea of what I mean (scroll to the bottom of the page and download ImageTools).

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Ken Fleisher
