Package: GQuickDraw
System name: gquickdraw
Type: non-GNU

Description:
GQuickDraw is meant as a very simple and stupid graphic library, basically a 
wrapper around a small subset of Xlib functions. Its aim is it to allow graphic 
access with a minimum effort, something like:

gd_init_screen(640, 480);
gd_set_color(0xFF00FF);
gd_draw_line(100, 100, 250, 200);

GQuickDraw is written in C and bindings will be provided for both Python and 
Guile. Support for mouse, joystick and load/save of png\'s is planed. 

I started this thing because I missed the ease of use of old Basic dialects, 
which often allowed such easy ways to create graphics, while under C most 
libraries require a huge amount of init code, which sometimes gets larger then 
the programm I indent to write. This library isn\'t meant for real 
applications, but instead for tiny prototypes or visualisations of algorithms.

The current code is available at (well, its a uncleaned dump of my working 
directory):

Other Software Required:
GQuickDraw relies on X11 for the graphic output and uses Swig for generating 
the guile and python interfaces.
