[Fxruby-users] FXRuby 1.2 experience

[Bil <bi...@vi...>]

Lyle,

I should say that I've had no problems installing the FXRuby 1.2 gem on=
 Ruby1.8.1 / Win2k. I've even had success in writing/converting some code=
 with it (started a simple svg editor and a menubar-from-yaml libray). For=
 an alpha release, this is quite an achievement. Thanks Lyle!

The only problem I've encountered is that I can't load JPEG/PNG any more -=
 They just appear as 32x32 icons with JPEG or PNG written on them. I can=
 load GIF/ICO with the same code, though.

I would like to know roughly when the FXRegion#new(FXPoint_array, winding)=
 function will be available. It is in FXRegion.rb, but I assume it is not=
 mapped into C yet. I will need it to get any further on my svg editor. I=
 am in no way demanding that it is done - it is just so I can plan what I=
 am doing. If it is going to be a long time, I will make the effort to wrap=
 Windows PolyRegions, which was what I was going to do before 1.2 arrived=
 with good timing (if I can work out how to compile extensions on=
 Windows...ack!).

Thanks,

bil
