(Thursday 05-Feb-98) -PCRender-Window converted (Each 3D-operator will have a window with at least two Pages: Operator-Settings and Render-Settings - therefore the PCRender-"Window" is not real a window but there are separate system-strings for it) (The preview isn't available yet) v5.03 (Friday 06-Feb-98) -new (internal) custom class "wfPhong": to display (phong-)shaded previews inside

to display images which are rendered "in realtime" using the current screen palette -wfBitButton class: uses wfRenderImage class (instead of wfImage class), this may slow down the GUI a little bit but only this makes it possible to design buttons with a "professional look" v5.31 (Sunday 22-Feb-98) -there are 9 "Standard"-wfBitButtons now -Effects-Preview: creating the window is much faster now (there was another problem due to the dynamic size of this window which has been fixed) -Main: display a busy-pointer while creating windows for the first time -wfParameter class: *the slider may have a shortcut now *automatically adjust the slider step to fit the current value range v5.32 (Monday 23-Feb-98) -Variables-Window: *Load-, Save- and Filename-gadget removed *files are loaded/saved using

pages: "Files" (to specify the input/output) and "Effects" (do design the Effects-script) *operators can be added using the "Apply"-function of the Operators- window - there will be a separate Operators list inside the HWM-Window later *after invoking the Add-function ("Apply") the operator "tells" HWM about its "abilities", HWM then creates a group of draggable images/buttons according to this information *Each Effect-component holds two groups of gadgets: *the Input buffers (e.g. "Background" and "Foreground" in case of the Compose-Operator) *the Output-image (this is a representation of the image generated by the Operator according to all currently specified settings) Each output-image may be dragged over each input-button of any other Operators.
