FontBUILDER  -  TrueType Font Converter

FontBUILDER v5.0
Breaking New Ground For High Quality MetaWINDOW Fonts!

FontBUILDER™ is an advanced Windows tool that allows you to convert scaleable TrueType fonts into high-quality bitmap fonts of any size or resolution that you specify.  The resultant bitmap fonts can be used by your MetaWINDOW applications running with real-mode or protected-mode DOS, or under real-time embedded operating systems supported by MetaWINDOW.  FontBUILDER features include:

• Converts TrueType fonts into high quality bitmap fonts of any size or resolution that you specify.

• Creates standard MetaWINDOW bitmap fonts (.fnt files, also compatible with ATI Nucleus GRAFIX fonts).

• Allows you to control the range of ASCII characters to be converted.

• Lets you view and edit font parameter settings.

• Optionally outputs converted MetaWINDOW bitmap fonts as C header files (.h) that can be compiled and linked directly into your program (no external font files!).

• Simple to use, integrated utility for use under Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 2000, or Windows NT4 (w/service pack 4 or later).

PCXLab  -  Read and Write PCX Image Files and Intel DCX Image File Libraries

Metagraphics PCXLab™ provides an expanded set of MetaWINDOW routines for working with PCX compressed image files and Intel DCX image file libraries. Optimized in tight assembly language code, PCXLab allows you to develop graphics applications that can: import/export and display PCX image files, import/export and display Intel DCX image file libraries, scroll and scale PCX/DCX images, access image header and palette information, read/write images to local memory buffers, output PCX/DCX images to popular laser and dot-matrix printers, and more. PCXLab supports popular monochrome, 16-color, 256-color and 64K-color PCX/DCX image file formats. PCXLab comes with a 70 page soft cover book describing the PCX image file formats, Intel DCX file library format, and use of the PCXLab functions with MetaWINDOW. PCXLab works with MetaWINDOW-supported compilers and platforms for real mode DOS, plus 16-bit and 32-bit protected-mode.

MetACCEL  -  Advanced Support for Hardware Accelerated Graphics

Metagraphics MetACCEL™ provides a set of enhanced graphic display drivers for use with MetaWINDOW graphic libraries. MetACCEL adds expanded support for popular hardware-accelerated SuperVGA's such as Orchid Fahrenheit-1280, Diamond Stealth, Actrix Graphics Engine, IBM 8514, ATI Graphics Ultra, and many others. (The MetaWINDOW Supported Adapters page provides an expanded list of MetACCEL supported graphic cards, chipsets and display modes.) MetACCEL with a hardware accelerated card boosts graphics performance more than 5 to 15 times over the speed of standard software programmed SuperVGA's. MetACCEL includes libraries for MetaWINDOW-supported compilers and platforms for real mode DOS, plus 16-bit and 32-bit protected-mode.

MetHICOLOR  -  65K-Color Display Modes

Metagraphics MetHICOLOR™ provides an expanded set of 16-bit per pixel display drivers for use with "hi-color" SuperVGA cards and MetaWINDOW graphics programming libraries. MetHICOLOR allows you to create graphics applications with near photorealistic images of up to 65,536 displayable colors. Optimized entirely in assembly language for tight fast code, MetHICOLOR provides the ultimate in hi-color graphics performance. MetHICOLOR includes libraries for MetaWINDOW-supported compilers and platforms or real mode DOS, plus 16-bit and 32-bit protected-mode. (The MetaWINDOW Supported Adapters page also provides an expanded list of MetHICOLOR supported graphic cards, chipsets and display modes.)
