Canvas Plugin version 3.0.3 released

Posted on by

Canvas Plugin has been updated to version 3.0.4. This maintenance release includes a few bug fixes and minor improvements.

  • Added support for Direct 2D and Direct Write on Windows. The graphics rendering engine can now be controlled by through the text rendering engine. Printing through Direct2D is currently not supported. Instead we fall back to GDI+ when printing.
  • Added support for Apple Silicon based Macs.
  • Reimplemented the handling of tooltips using a timer.
  • Removed CV Get Dropped Object, since the underlying technology is no longer supported by 4D. Use the On Begin Drag Over form event with the commands from the pasteboard theme (APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD and GET PASTEBOARD DATA).
  • Added the CV Set Drop Types an CV Get Drop Types commands, for dealing with native 4D drag and drop functionality.
  • Added CV Area To Object command, which translates the information in a plugin area to a 4D object (including layers, shapes etc.)
  • Added new command CV Set Polygon Points.
  • Added advanced hit testing for polygons.
  • Major internal refactoring because of reorganisation of common code libraries.
  • Various bug fixes.
