Changes from Version 11.5 to Version 12

Version 12 of the LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library has changed from version 11.5 as follows:

• Saving vector images as a DXF inside a TIFF file is now supported in LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro.

• Uses L_DOUBLE instead of L_FLOAT through out the toolkit.

• Supports copying and pasting into the Windows clipboard.

• Added new functions to add, edit and delete layers.

• Added new functions to provide a means for grouping objects into layers.

• Provides new functions for adding, editing and deleting objects.

• Now supports the following object types:

  • VECTOR_ARC
  • VECTOR_CHORD
  • VECTOR_CIRCLE
  • VECTOR_CLONE
  • VECTOR_ELLIPSE
  • VECTOR_ELLIPTICALARC
  • VECTOR_GROUP
  • VECTOR_LINE

  • VECTOR_POLYDRAW
  • VECTOR_POLYGON
  • VECTOR_POLYLINE
  • VECTOR_RASTER
  • VECTOR_RECTANGLE
  • VECTOR_STOCK

• Supports new common dialogs for adding/editing objects and layers.

• Supports vector groups for grouping vector objects.
