Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.sgi/New-version-of-draw There's a new version (1.9) of 'draw' available via anonymous FTP from swedishchef.lerc.nasa.gov in the programs/GL directory. For those who haven't heard of 'draw', it's a simple structured drawing program for SGI machines running IRIX 3.3 or 4.0. It was originally written to get familiar with SGI's GL. The code often isn't pretty, but it's usually effective. (for reference, I'm _not_ a graphics programmer) One advantage to 'draw' over some other programs is that it opens the entire screen with no borders. This is handy in combination with screen printers. (this is in the default landscape mode, there is also a portrait mode in this version) The distribution includes a hacked version of David Blythe's popup menu code. Bugs are most likely mine. 'draw' isn't Showcase by any stretch of the imagination, but for those without Showcase it might be useful. Some people here with Showcase still use 'draw' for some applications. I'd appreciate hearing of any improvements people might make. Also, if you make a derivative work I'd appreciate it if you change the email address used in the Suggestion Box. -- Scott Townsend, Sverdrup Technology Inc.
