4.51. ObjGfx40 - ObjectGraphics 4.0 Unit

ObjGfx is the underlying framework for a highly scalable high-resolution protected-mode object-oriented graphics library. ObjGfx is a platform neutral softare based rendering engine that can also be wrapped around native APIs. The purpose of ObjGfx is to create a uniform interface between graphics objects, whether they be the screen, window, double buffer, or a bitmap image. We feel that existing APIs fall far short of how a real object-oriented system should behave.

Features:

Ability to define custom surface formats (e.g. RGBA 8:8:8:8, ABGR 4:4:4:4, GRAB 1:3:6:8, etc)
Memory based surfaces aren't a requirement. One may have a surface contained on disk, or across a network, etc.
Surface sizes are limited by several factors depending on the storage type of the surface. The only solid limitation is that one scanline of the surface must be able to fit into memory.
Alpha blending
Anti-aliased drawing functions
Page flipping for display objects
Identical DOS/Win32 Console interfaces
Advanced transparent sprite objects
Image and font support
Pascal and C++ support
Fully object-oriented interface
