ANN: Graphos 0.2

[Riccardo Mottola]

G R A P H O S   0.2
-------------------



I am pleased to announce the second public release of Graphos.


What's new?
-----------

The biggest new is the totally redone properties inspector. It uses now 
standard color wells and color pickers.

The internal color representation of the objects uses now NSColor 
instead of 4-float CMYK representation. This allows for more consistent 
color handling when manipulating objects including the inspector and 
reduces conversions.

The Text object now allows both back and foreground color setting.

Minor tweaks, bug fixes.


What is it?
-----------

Graphos is a vector drawing application centered around bezier paths.

Graphos roots are directly set in GDraw, written by Enrico Sersale and 
released in 2000. Version 0.1 of Graphos is a direct descendant of 
GDraw: the interface is almost unchanged, but the application has been 
refactored, reorganized, debugged, rewritten and updated. The file 
format was improved a little, Graphos is able to read GDraw files but 
not the other way around.

Graphos 0.1 focused mainly on getting things working again, cleaning and 
reorganizing the code structure.


Where to get it:
----------------

Graphos is a user application of GAP, the GNUstep Application Project. 
Its page is here:

What's next:
------------

Printing needs to be improved, some tools are still missing. Possibly 
the Inspector should become non-modal.


Have a nice Christmas' Eve and Merry Christmas too!
