Graphics4VO is a programming interface for CA Visual Objects that integrates graphics, images, charts, and presentations for display, print, plot, file, and memory. It offers classes, methods, and functions for easy integration.
With Graphics4VO, creating graphics-heavy applications becomes a breeze. You don't need any specialized knowledge of Windows API programming or graphics handling - the library takes care of that for you. Whether you're adding graphics to existing applications or starting new ones, Graphics4VO has all the tools you need.
This library offers a wide range of graphics options, including pixel graphics, graphic primitives, business and presentation graphics like bar charts, pie charts, line charts, mathematical coordinate systems, function graphs, and fractals - all of which can be output to the screen, printer, plotter, file, or memory bitmaps. It also allows you to import graphics from other programs or scanned pictures in files with different graphics formats or ArcView shapes into your own application.
Efficient coordinate transformations into world coordinate systems mean that your graphics will be represented uniformly on different devices. The library also offers GUI classes that give you the ability to add graphics to existing programs quickly and easily.
Thanks to Graphics4VO's speedy graphics display mechanism, you won't even notice the repainting of uncovered windows - it's all performed from an internal image-bitmap at lightning-fast speeds. There's no need for subsequent reconstruction of graphics, which means you can get your applications up and running faster than ever.
Finally, for your convenience, the classes, methods, and functions for producing graphic output in user applications come with declarations in both English and German language in the source headers and documentation. So if you're looking for a powerful, easy-to-use graphics library that works seamlessly with CA-Visual Objects, Graphics4VO is definitely worth a try!
