Graphics Tools by Perfect Sync

is very pleased to announce the release of

Sample Images created with Graphics Tools

Graphics Tools provides complete, high-resolution graphics
capabilities for all of your 32-bit PowerBASIC applications!

Graphics Tools was designed to make sophisticated drawing functions truly easy in PowerBASIC for Windows and PB/DLL programs. (Graphics Tools can be used with PB/CC if you also use Console Tools.) Just tell Graphics Tools how large you want your drawing window to be, and start drawing! No handles, no "device contexts", no API calls, no WM_PAINT messages... just dozens and dozens of easy-to-use functions like DrawCircle, DrawArc, DrawMultiLine, DrawCube, DisplayBitmap, StretchImage, and GfxPrintWindow! A complete function list is provided HERE.

Major Features

Create and display high-resolution images up to the maximum size and color depth allowed by Windows
Create multiple drawing windows in the same program
Movable, sizable, and stretchable drawing windows
Easy to use "pens and brushes" system
Use standard Windows RGB Colors or the easy-to-learn HSW Color System, which makes colors like Yellow, Pink, and Orange much easier to create
A complete set of drawing functions, everything from straight lines, circles, and rectangles to Bezier Curves and x-pointed stars. You can even draw Windows elements like checkboxes!
Realistic 3D figures like cylinders, tubes, bars, and wedges are perfect for drawing charts, graphs, flow charts, and other business graphics.
The Pro version's flexible Gradient Generator can be used to create stunning special effects. Click HERE for many different examples.
Automatic scaling of all drawing operations. No more re-calculating your coordinates every time you change the drawing window size.
Use the default "world" or define your own coordinate system
Clip Areas make drawing complex figures a snap
XOR drawing and erasing, and 15 other drawing modes
Import bitmaps, icons, and cursors -- including animated cursors -- plus many additional image formats (JPEG, WMF, etc.) as supported by Windows.
Stretch, crop, and flip imported images
Save your images as bitmap or JPEG files
Print all or part of any image on almost any printer
Two different "temporary" drawing modes
Draw text using multiple fonts in any size/weight/color/angle/etc, with built-in special effects like shadows, outlines, raised/sunken effects, and colored edges. And wait until you see Gradient-Filled Text!
Built-in pop-up dialogs for color selection, file selection, page setup, and printer setup.
Dozens of convenient utility functions
Works with any version of Windows from Windows 95 through Windows 7.
Lots of sample programs are included
And Perfect Sync's documentation has been called "outstanding"! At over 500 pages, it is provided as both a Help File and a printable PDF document.

Language Compatibility

Graphics Tools is 100% compatible with the PowerBASIC For Windows compilers versions 7, 8, 9, and 10 as well as PB/DLL versions 5.x and 6.x. And Graphics Tools is compatible with versions 1 through 6 of the PowerBASIC Console Compiler (PB/CC) provided that you use it in conjunction with Console Tools which is available separately.

The Graphics Tools OCX is also fully compatible with Microsoft Visual Basic 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x, so you can use Graphics Tools for even more of your programming projects!

Graphics Tools is provided as both a standard OCX and DLL so it is compatible with the great majority of 32-bit Windows programming languages, but header files are currently available only for PB and VB. Please contact support@perfectsync.com to inquire about other languages.

Pricing

Graphics Tools Standard just $69.95!

This license allows you to install Graphics Tools on a single development computer, and to distribute the Graphics Tools Standard Runtime Files with your applications.

Graphics Tools Pro just $139.95!

This license allows you to install Graphics Tools Pro on up to four (4) development computers, and to distribute the Graphics Tools Pro Runtime Files with your applications. Graphics Tools Pro provides a large number of functions that are not present in the Standard version. See What's the Difference Between Standard and Pro for more information.

PB/CC Programmers

To use Graphics Tools with the PowerBASIC Console Compiler (PB/CC) Console Tools is required. Simply order 1) either Graphics Tools Standard or Pro and 2) either Console Tools Standard or Pro, depending on your preferences. The version of Console Tools that you choose has no effect on the graphics capabilities, so if all you need is "console graphics" you can choose the less expensive Console Tools Standard version, with your choice of either Graphics Tools Standard or Pro. But if you also want GUI tools like Pulldown and Popup Menus, and many other Console Tools Pro features you have the option of choosing the Pro version of Console Tools.
