Hi!

We've finally gotten around to releasing Component X Graphics for REALbasic 2005. Many of you already know it as a library of fast, cross-platform consistent graphic routines. You know, scaling, rotation, HSV adjustment, etc., many of which are hand optimized in C for G4/G5. We use it in all of our products, except the new "Bosco's Pod Pouch" -- technically, that one is hardware and, unfortunately, not made with REALbasic.

We think you'll like the price. Develop with it for free. Deploy your apps incorporating it for free. All you need to do is put a short attribution message in your about box or printed documentation. Freeware, shareware, or a commercial app with $1M in annual sales, it doesn't matter. If you need assistance or consulting, we can provide that for a fee.

Component X Graphics used to be "open source". That plan turned out to be a spectacular dud, accomplishing pretty much nothing except attracting people from the wrong side of the tracks, so we've gone closed source again. But a large chunk of our revenue for CXG has been from our own products, development of products it makes possible, and changes/fixes needed by others. Only a small chunk came from licensing fees. So we're adjusting the sales model to match market reality.

Anyway, please download, use, and enjoy!

Bye!
