Using the drawing functions in Linux

To use the drawing function in Linux, the QT library (Core and GUI) version 4.5 (or later) must be installed.
In Ubuntu, this library can be installed with the following commands:
sudo apt-get install libqtcore4
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
In mandriva 2010 Spring, this library can be installed with the following commands:
urpmi libqtgui4
To use the drawing function in Linux, the QT library (Core and GUI) version 5 (or later) must be installed.

How to draw?

Drawing in an Image control

To draw in an Image control:
  1. Initialize the drawing in the Image control (dStartDrawing). This initialization is used to allocate a specific memory area for the management of drawings.
  2. Draw with the drawing functions.
  3. Insert (if necessary) text into your drawings with dText.
  4. Perform (if necessary) zooms and copies of images with dCopyBlt.
  5. If necessary, save the drawing using the save functions (dSaveImageBMP, dSaveImageGIF, dSaveImageJPEG, dSaveImagePNG).
  6. Print the created file if necessary with the iPrintImage function.
  7. Destroy (if necessary) the drawing found in memory with dEndDrawing.
Versions 17 and later

Drawing in an Image variable

To draw in an Image variable, some rules must be complied with:
  1. Declare an Variable of type Image.
  2. Initialize the drawing in the variable (dStartDrawing). This initialization is used to allocate a specific memory area for the management of drawings.
  3. Draw with the drawing functions.
  4. Insert (if necessary) text into your drawings with dText.
  5. If necessary, save the drawing using the save functions (dSaveImageBMP, dSaveImageGIF, dSaveImageJPEG, dSaveImagePNG).
  6. Print the created file if necessary with the iPrintImage function.
  7. Destroy (if necessary) the drawing found in memory with dEndDrawing.
