Fastgraph

Company / developer:
  Ted Gruber Software, Inc.

Windows graphics programming has traditionally involved using the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) functions from the Windows API. More recently, the .NET framework introduced GDI+, an enhanced version of GDI. The GDI and GDI+ functions support other devices besides the video display, but the price of this generality is speed. This translates to the sluggish performance often associated with Windows graphics applications.

Fastgraph for Windows solves this problem by providing a suite of more than 300 fast, hand-optimized assembly language graphics functions that operate on drawing surfaces called virtual buffers. These functions handle tasks such as 2D and 3D graphics, color and palette management, bitmap display, image files, image processing, and much more. Fastgraph is an ideal development tool for entertainment and educational software, scientific and engineering applications, CAD/CAM, animation, or any Win32 application that demands robust graphics.

Fastgraph works with but does not require the Direct3D and DirectDraw components of Microsoft's DirectX. Supports most C/C++ compilers, plus C++Builder, Delphi, Visual C# .NET, Visual Basic, Visual Basic .NET, and PowerBASIC. Comes with 1,100 pages of manuals in Adobe PDF format.

ImageMagick®

Company / developer:
  ImageMagick Studio LLC

ImageMagick

ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.

The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), NMagick (Neko/haXe), MagickNet (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and automagically.

Artweaver

Company / developer:
  Boris Eyrich

Artweaver

Artweaver is a Windows Freeware program to simulate natural brush tools. It is therefore suitable to leave your creativity free run. Artweaver offers you a clear program window, which can be used without training immediately.
You can create sketches from photos and experiment with a wide range of brushes. The brush simulation is thereby so realistic as possible.

• Support of many different digital brushes e.g. chalk, charcoal, pencils...
• A wide variety of adjustment settings to customize the default brushes or to create new brushes.
• Standard image editing tools like gradient, crop, fill and selection tools.
• Support for the most common file formats like AWD (Artweaver), BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, TGA, TIFF, PNG, and PSD.
• Transparency and Layers support.
• Effect filters like sharpen, blur, emboss and mosaic.
• Editable text layers.
• Pen Tablet support for a realistic feeling.
• History function to und/redo last editing steps.
• Expandable by Plug-In modules (Artweaver Standard).
• Support for many languages through language files.

Unix

Unix

Unix operating systems are widely used in both servers and workstations. The Unix environment and the client-server program model were essential elements in the development of the Internet and the reshaping of computing as centered in networks rather than in individual computers.

Both Unix and the C programming language were developed by AT&T and distributed to government and academic institutions, causing both to be ported to a wider variety of machine families than any other operating system. As a result, Unix became synonymous with "open systems".

Unix was designed to be portable, multi-tasking and multi-user in a time-sharing configuration. Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: the use of plain text for storing data; a hierarchical file system; treating devices and certain types of inter-process communication (IPC) as files; and the use of a large number of software tools, small programs that can be strung together through a command line interpreter using pipes, as opposed to using a single monolithic program that includes all of the same functionality. These concepts are known as the Unix philosophy.

Under Unix, the "operating system" consists of many of these utilities along with the master control program, the kernel. The kernel provides services to start and stop programs, handle the file system and other common "low level" tasks that most programs share, and, perhaps most importantly, schedules access to hardware to avoid conflicts if two programs try to access the same resource or device simultaneously. To mediate such access, the kernel was given special rights on the system, leading to the division between user-space and kernel-space.

The microkernel concept was introduced in an effort to reverse the trend towards larger kernels and return to a system in which most tasks were completed by smaller utilities. In an era when a "normal" computer consisted of a hard disk for storage and a data terminal for input and output (I/O), the Unix file model worked quite well as most I/O was "linear". However, modern systems include networking and other new devices. As graphical user interfaces developed, the file model proved inadequate to the task of handling asynchronous events such as those generated by a mouse, and in the 1980s non-blocking I/O and the set of inter-process communication mechanisms was augmented (sockets, shared memory, message queues, semaphores), and functionalities such as network protocols were moved out of the kernel.
