  • the function noTint().
  • tint example.
  • a cmake option to disable building the examples.

0.3.1

Added

  • overloaded function image() that allows to display subimages which could be very useful for spritesheets and animations.
  • the function imageMode().
  • spritesheet example.

Changed

  • the function loadImage() to return nullptr and print an error message if anything went wrong loading the image.
  • the documentation by overhauling the section "Outline" and "Image".

0.3.0

Added

  • support for custom shaders and renderpasses.
  • several new examples, showcasing the capabilities of renderpasses.

Changed

  • the way how stuff is rendered, allowing deferred rendering techniques.
  • the attributes of Shape, i.e. removal of obsolete color attribute.
  • the function signature of image().
  • the default shader, i.e. refactored the image() related glsl code into a seperate shader.

Fixed

  • default background color not being applied.

0.2.1

Fixed

  • display density to be considered when rendering text.

0.2.0

Added

  • support for text rendering.

Changed

  • the way shaders are handled.

0.1.1

Added

  • Quadtree example.

Changed

  • the way memory is allocated for the settings stack.

Fixed

  • point() not being affected by strokeWeight().

0.1.0

Added

  • namespace xd.
  • a small program that can be used to embed text-based resource files into headers.
  • install targets.
  • package targets.
  • releases for Linux, macOS and Windows.

  • include directory folder structure.
  • the way how shaders are loaded.
  • the libxd logo.
  • the documentation.

0.0.3

Added

  • the possibility to define key event callbacks using the functions keyPressed() and keyReleased().
  • keyboard interaction example.

Changed

  • the documentation.
  • some cmake build scripts.

0.0.2

Added

Changed

  • the location of include/stb_image.h to lib/stb/stb_image.h.
  • the documentation.
  • some cmake build scripts.

Fixed

  • the lib folder being wrongly identified as a first party source folder by github's linguist.

0.0.1

This is the start of libxd as a remote repository. Prior to publishing libxd to github goes about 2 months of local development. These are rudimentary changelogs from the time before github:

Added

  • the functions setup(), draw() and destroy() using forward declaration.
  • global variables width, height to retrieve the current width and height.
  • shape functions: ellipse(), line(), point(), rect(), triangle().
  • vertex, geometry and fragment shaders which contain e.g. the logic that allows to draw outlined shapes in a single render cycle.
  • drawing style functions: background(), clear(), ellipseMode(), fill(), noFill(), noStroke(), rectMode(), stroke(), strokeWeight().
  • support of alpha channel for functions that deal with colors.
  • transformation functions: applyMatrix(), resetMatrix(), rotate(), scale(), translate().
  • constants: HALF_PI, PI, QUARTER_PI, TWO_PI.
  • the functions push() and pop() which allow the current drawing style settings and matrix transformations to be temporarily saved on a stack.
  • the possibility to directly modify window pixels using the global variable pixels.
  • support for image loading.
  • the possibility to directly modify image pixels using the member variable Image::pixels.
  • convenience functions like: millis(), random(), randomSeed().
  • functions that allow to alter the control flow: loop(), noLoop().
  • a function redraw() that ought to be used in conjunction with noLoop.
  • libraries: glad, glfw, glm, stb_image.
  • a docsify documentation.
  • cmake build scripts.
  • fireworks example.
