New versions of Ab2d tools and libraries

by abenedik 5. March 2008 00:20

Based on users feedback all the Ab2d tools and libraries were improved.

Paste2Xaml (utility to read Windows metafiles (wmf), Enhanced Metafiles (emf) or get matafile objects from clipboard and can convert it into xaml) and ViewerSvg (utility to convert svg and svgz files into xaml) has been improved with a zoom toolbox that enable panning and zooming (top right on the image below).

ViewerSvg application
New in Ab2d.ReaderSvg library v1.5:

  • Added support for reading svgz (compresses svg) files.
  • Fixed reading some embedded images - sometimes "Invalid character in a Base-64 string." exception was thrown.


New in Ab2d.ReaderWmf library v1.2:

  • Fixed reading some wmf files - especially files exported from Autocad are converted properly now.
  • Added MinLineWidthFactor property - useful for metafiles with lots of lines. With the property it is possible to adjust thickness of the lines.
  • Added EmbeddedBitmapImages property that replaced the obsolete MetafileImages (because of misunderstanding of the property)
  • Added support for reading pixels (individual points) from metafiles - they are converted to Ellipse elements with the specified radius.

New version is available from www.ab4d.com/Overview2d.aspx.
