| Title: | Mucha - starting to develop different shades of color; the graphics device was limited to 256 colors of 24-bits each. Color tables for each graphic had to be created and loaded each time. |
| Comments: | Experimental software in 2D paint systems development. There were two kinds of graphics elements: lines, polygons. The text was generated by converting the Hershey fonts, which took a lot of effort to implement. The graphic elements are actually polygons. Each time the graphic was recalled from disk, it had to be redrawn.
Today, FLASH 4/5, Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand work on similar principles. |
