Posts: 17 		Has anyone here used !ShowDraw or have an opinion on it ?
I've just got it up and running on my Iyonix to help me debug some draw file writing routines.
It's fairly simple - and I'm not sure how good it is (or perhaps my draw file writing is garbage).
Is anything more sophisticated available ?
I'm using Edit to look at the innards of Draw files but it's jolly hard going and I was about to embark upon writing a Draw file probe and analysis tool when I came across ShowDraw.

Posts: 12380 		You could have a look at the Draw input/output routines in my vector graphic Migration on Request tool.

The log files should reveal how the file is being parsed, and the source code (in C) might be useful - hopefully it's not too obscure what's going on. Have a look in draw.c

Posts: 12380 		There's now a 32 bit savvy version at http://www.iconbar.com/temp/monkeyson/mor.zip

Converting to SVG might be useful too.

I've added a couple of obey files to run the tool - you'll need to dearchive everything before running.

Feel free to send me any draw files you produce, I might be able to work out if there's anything wrong with them. :monkey:son at iconbar dot com
