[Ldlite-development] Re: Off screen renedering

[Paul G. <pg...@ya...>]

LDLite already does of-screen rendering.  The windows update is
a bitblt from memory to the screen, and I've often thought about
adding scroll bars or stretching the result.  I don't know how to
not have a window pop up (especially since some initialization may get
kicked-off by the initial window update message), but I could probably 
get it to launch as an icon down in the toolbar so it doesn't clutter
the screen.

BTW, is the "-H" flag used for anything?  I'm adding support to make
the transparent halftone (dither) checkerboard be larger than 1 pixel
so that the effect survives image scaling.
