Re: [Plplot-devel] Using Window's raw API for shapes and text

Just seen this regarding raspberry pi and Windows 10. So Windows 10 will have an internet of thing (IoT) version to run on Arm processors. I'm not sure if/how this is linked to Windows Phone. The aps have to use either XAML, html5 or DirectX for the GUI. They can run "native code" - i.e. compiled C

Re: [Plplot-devel] Using Window's raw API for shapes and text

Alan, That makes sense to me. I can see how the configure/build time checks make sense to affect which support to attempt compile-in. E.g. if one were building with an older compiler on an XP host, you wouldn't want to try to link in Direct2D support. OTOH, what I actually had in mind was runtim

Re: [Plplot-devel] Using Window's raw API for shapes and text

Alan,One potential downside of the newer Direct2D/DirectWrite APIs is that they aren't supported on Windows XP. I know I have users of my application still using XP. I can't tell without some more research, but I think Windows 10 even supports GDI/GDI+.If the case for using Direct2D/DirectWrite i
