Box 0.3.2
AVAILABLE FILES
For this release we just provide one tarball (we do not distribute the Windows version):
- box-0.3.2.tar.gz contains the sources which can be compiled easily on Linux (or Mac OS X, Unix) and less easily (through MinGW-MSYS) on Windows. Instructions on how to compile Box can be found in the file README under the main folder and on the webpages.
CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION
This release contains bugfixes and improvements.
- Introduced ``Image'' object to include external PNG files and use them as patterns for filling areas (instead of colors or gradients).
- Introduced a Figure object, so that ``Figure[...]'' can be used instead of the (somewhat awkward) ``Window[][...]''.
- Introduced multi-line, recursive comments a la OCaml: (* ... *)
- Introduced macros in comments (** ... *) as a mean of injecting meta information into the box sources.
- Species are now fully implemented.
- Pattern was renamed to PATTERN and Pattern is defined as the species ``(Color=>Gradient=>PATTERN)'', which allows using Color, Gradient, as alternatives to Pattern.
- Introduced ``ThickLine'' (which partially replaces the obsolete ``Window.Line''). Introduced ``Dark'' and ``Axes''.
- Fixed rendering of non-concentric spherical gradients.
