Tested successfully the DLL. Thanks! But I had to rename it libcairo-2.dll.

While we are looking for a solution, I tried to write some reusable code to show nicely Cairo version in all programs. The method for drawing the rectangle comes from a C example shipped with Cairo source. ' cairocolor.bi type tcairocolor r as double g as double b as double a as double declare const...

Hello srvaldez. Yes. I made a quick attempt with Cairo 1.18.0, without success. makefile.mingw:15: cairo-1.18.0/build/Makefile.win32.features: No such file or directory makefile.mingw:17: cairo-1.18.0/src/Makefile.win32.features: No such file or directory makefile.mingw:18: cairo-1.18.0/src/Makefile...

Found something that looks interesting: https://sourceforge.net/projects/graphiclibs/

Yes, the code is better like this. Updated the Cairo version . I used transparent colors, to make more obvious the advantage of using Cairo. I also tried another way to initialize angles. All pendulums start are at the same position, but they are releashed one after the other. Just comment out my co...

Thanks! I will look at it.

Nice! Here is a Cairo version. ' https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=302813#p302813 ' Eight swinging sticks kinetic energy using arrays by neil ' Cairo version #include once "cairo/cairo.bi" const W as integer = 640 const H as integer = 640 const as double g = 9.81 ' accelerati...

Here is how I do fonts in Cairo, I have found no problems with the method. Please check the value of chrs._text.width and chrs._text.height ! Sub Cprint(surf As cairo_t Ptr,x As Long,y As Long,text As String,size As Single,colour As Ulong) print(chrs._text.width) print(chrs._text.height) As I said ...

Any idea? I scanned my (big) collection of Cairo examples (in Basic, C and Pascal) and found only this: var ... font_options: cairo_font_options_t; begin ... cairo_select_font_face(context, 'Courier New', CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD); cairo_font_options_set_antialias(@font_optio...

I am now enjoying the animated spiral. The interesting point in this example (if I may say) is that it uses an image for drawing, instead of drawing directly on the screen (as do almost all examples that you can find in the forum). I posted it here a version using sGUI2, where the animation can be ...

Hello!

I left Windows several years ago, and I no longer feel interest for it, but I still have on my HD some examples that I have made in Pascal. I put them on my website, in case you would like to take a look: freepascal-cairo-win32-examples.zip

Regards.

You might take a look to the sGUI library, which has a scrollbar, and is multiplatform.

Hello everybody! Here is a little thing I have made. It's an animated spiral using Cairo (idea taken here ). Warning: Don't keep your eyes fixed on the animation, otherwise you will feel dizzy. :) #include once "cairo/cairo.bi" const WINDOW_W = 480 const WINDOW_H = 480 screenres WINDOW_W, ...

Hello everybody!

I applied the modifications suggested by neil here (thanks to him), and uploaded the project to a git repository:

Could you share also your examples somewhere?
