[Iup-users] Making a vector drawing tool with IUP+CD?

[Johann ''Myrkraverk'' O. <joh...@wa...>]

Dear IUP List,

I'd like to try my hand at making a vector drawing tool, from scratch.
And I'd rather not have to invent the math and algorithms myself.

Are there APIs in IUP and/or CD that make this easy?  Or do I have to
add my own code to answer queries like is point (x,y) close enough to
that bezier curve to register a hit, on a mouse click?

Is there a good book on the subjects I need?  I've been flipping through
the old Foley book, /Computer Graphics, Principles and Practice/ (1995)
but it seems to be a bit high level for practitioners or I'm just lost
in the math.

Website resources would be cool too; I'm not a fan of videos.


Thanks,
Johann
