This PNG Delphi version 1.56 documentation (this version is a major rewrite intended to replace the previous version, 1.2).
Improvements in this new version includes:
This new version allows the programmer to not use Delphi heavy units which will greatly reduce the size of the final executable.
Read more about this feature here.
Most, if not all, Portable Network GRAPHICS features as CRC checking are now fully performed.
Error on broken images are now better handled using new exception classes.
The images may be saved using interlaced mode also.
Transparency information won t be discarted after the image is loaded any more.
Most of the images are decoded much faster now.
The images will be better encoded using fresh new algorithms.
IMPORTANT! Now transparency information is used to display images.
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware. It consists of a loadable kernel module (kvm.ko) and a userspace component.
Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, GRAPHICS adapter, etc.
The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, and will appear in Linux 2.6.20.
KVM is open source software.
The goal of this project is to explore the idea of point-based
radiosity, which is a shooting radiosity technique suggested by Mark
Harris at UNC. The primary idea is that features available in
GRAPHICS hardware can be utilized to perform radiosity calculations.
Facilities such as flat shading, diffuse lighting, projective
textures, and mipmapping can be used to replace traditional numerical
solutions for radiosity.
penMesh is a generic and efficient data structure for representing and manipulating polygonal meshes. OpenMesh is developed at the Computer GRAPHICS Group, RWTH Aachen , as part of the OpenSGPlus project, is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education ( BMBF), and will serve as geometry kernel upon which the so-called high level primitives (e.g. subdivision surfaces or progressive meshes) of OpenSGPlus are built.
It was designed with the following goals in mind :
Flexibility : provide a basis for many different algorithms without the need for adaptation.
Efficiency : maximize time efficiency while keeping memory usage as low as possible.
Ease of use : wrap complex internal structure in an easy-to-use interface.
his paper provides a tutorial and survey of methods for parameterizing
surfaces with a view to applications in geometric modelling and computer GRAPHICS.
We gather various concepts from di® erential geometry which are relevant to surface
mapping and use them to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the many
methods for parameterizing piecewise linear surfaces and their relationship to one
another.
