Re: [platform-swt-dev] Advanced Graphics Platforms

[Silenio Quarti <Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

SWT Advanced Graphics uses:

GDI+ on windows platforms
Cairo on *NIX platforms
Quartz on the Mac

GDI+ is not available on Windows 2000,
Windows NT 4.0  and Window 98/ME. For these platforms, there is a
redistributable package available.

Cairo is available on any system that
have GTK 2.8 or higher (RedHat 5).

Quartz/Cocoa is available on all platforms
SWT supports.

Hi all-
The SWT docs say that advanced graphics may not be available on certain
platforms. I have a couple questions regarding this:

1) What constitutes the "platform"? Is it a combination of the
OS/jvm/graphics-card?

2) Are there any major platforms that don't work?

I'm basically trying to figure out whether, for most users today(2009),
Advanced Graphics is almost-always, usually, or sometimes available.

Thanks,
-glenn
