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.
