FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - JDRAW v4.0
Scarborough, ON - Blueview Software is pleased to announce the release
of JDRAW v4.0, a RIPScrip compatible editor. With this release JDraw
adds Object Editing enhancements. This is a major feature that has been
incorporated in all areas of the program. It makes editing RipScrip much
more easier and powerful.
With JDraw's new edit mode you are able to click on an object, drag it,
size it, copy it, or delete it. You can even select a series of objects
to edit. But that's not all, JDraw's Polygon-PolyLine mode is the most
advanced of any program. You can insert, delete, and move any poly point.
Entire poly shapes can be shrinked or expanded in just one mouse click.
JDraw v4 features an advanced command lister. Each command is displayed
in english with its attributes. The command lister allows you to toggle
any command on or off, delete it from the list, or copy it. This often
useful for editing commands that are not suited for full screen edit mode.
The command lister also has the option of jumping to full screen edit mode
with all the draw commands. Modifying the order in which commands are
executed can also be done with the Tag and Move options.
JDraw v4 also features and enhanced grid and co-ordinate system. This
allows you to create objects of a desired size and location. While
other programs may offer similar features JDraw incorporates them
throughout the program. The grid and co-ordinate system are user
configured and can be modified or toggled on or off.
JDraw also supports a "Wizard" tool which allows users to create fancy
borders, frames, and windows by simply specifying the co-ordinates.
A number of already defined Wizard files are included to get you started.
We've left the spec open to our Wizard format so users can create their
own and share with others. All Wizard commands are converted to a series
of RIPScrip compatible commands. We've added a new feature _without_
breaking the current 1.54 RipScrip standard. This feature was initially
introduced in v3 of JDraw and remains as one of the more popular aspects
of JDraw.
JDraw includes support for Windows 3.x Ico format. You can include Ico
files directly into a RipScrip file, there is no need for external
files. As with the Wizard feature the Ico files are converted into a
series of RIPScrip 1.54 commands. This feature will undoubtedly save
sysops a great deal of time due to the overwhelming number of available
Ico files.
Support for software developers has also been added. Images can be
saved as Borland/Turbo C/Pascal source code. The resulting code along
with the supplied JDLIB can be included directly into your own
programs. This makes JDraw ideal for creating quick title screens and
other types of graphics. The overhead that is added to your program is
very small because RIPScrip commands are converted to their equivalent
BGI counterparts.
JDraw provides all the necessary features to create RIPScrip graphics
without the high cost. Some of JDraw's other features include:
ZOOM MODE: Allows you to edit any area on the screen in a zoom mode
using a number of drawing tools including pixel, line, rectangle,
circle, and ellipse. This is _NOT_ an icon mode, everything created
in this mode will not require additional icon files.
BUTTON SELECTOR: JDraw provides full support for buttons, including
plain buttons, icon buttons, and clipboard buttons. The Button
selector allows you to create a number of custom styles with full
access to all the available button flags. The preview window allows
you to see your button before its pasted on the screen, you don't
have guess how it looks.
PCX/BMP: JDraw also allows you to save your images in standard PCX
and BMP formats. This makes JDraw ideal for creating clipart and
importing into other programs which do not support RIP directly.
JDraw is part of a much larger package which includes the following
programs:
JMedia: A different style editor allowing you to edit RipScrip
commands in a text editor environment. JMedia also
allows you to test your screens and link them together
to create demos and presentations. JMedia also includes
a number of extended commands and support for PCX, ANSI,
and ANSI music. You can even distribute your work by
creating a royalty free EXE file.
JView: No package is complete without a superb RIP viewer.
Files can be easily viewed, tagged, or viewed in a
slide show mode. JView provides a built in file
selector making it easy to access files, no need to
hassle with a clumsy command line interface. In
addition to RIP files JView can also display RIP ICN
and Windows Ico files.
MagniPaint: Our Super Icon editor, supports PCX/BMP/ICO and of
coarse RIP ICN. MagniPaint as the name conveys is a
magnified paint program, much more powerful than your
standard icon editors. 16 color VGA, and 256 color
SVGA. Can be used as a stand alone program, RIP ICN
files is just of the formats it supports.
MegaClip: Screen clipper for cutting up PCX/BMP/RIP ICN files.
Standard EGA/VGA and SVGA screens. As with MagniPaint,
MegaClip can also be used as a stand alone program.
Pcx2Icn: Converts PCX files to RIP ICN
