Hi,
Does anyone know where I could find some example code for loading drawfiles into a C program, and possibly an example on how to load WMFs/EMFs into C as well?
I would like to write a decent converter app to convert between these files since the converters I currently use leave a lot to be desired!

I've got some code to save drawfiles (available if you want), but not to load any.
Having a look through the PRMs/StrongHelp manuals could be a good idea - they're what I used, and the drawfile structure isn't too bad once you get to know it. |

Thankyou that would be very useful. How do I go about obtaining it?

Thankyou that would be very useful. How do I go about obtaining it? There's a part of my Befunge interpreter which lets programs produce simple line based turtle graphics. The file you'll want is befsrc.bef.sem.cc.turt from this archive, particularly the turt_i function.
The code isn't very well documented though, so having a copy of some Draw File specs handy might help. And don't worry about the C++ file extension; the code is practically plain C.
The Befunge interpreter itself is available here should you be interested (e.g. documentation about what the code does). |
