GINO - Graphics Development Tools

 

Product Overview

GINO is a suite of portable graphics development tools aimed at scientific/engineering applications and contains over 900 routines available with a F90 or C binding. The suite consist of different libraries, GINO, GINOMENU, GINOGRAF, GINOSURF, CALGINO designed for different purposes including, creation of GUI interfaces, common graphing features such as line graphs, charts, contour maps, and 3D surfaces, a host of low-level drawing routines for graphics development in 2D and 3D and now extensive OpenGL features including built-in 3D objects, bezier shapes, lighting and shading, material properties and texture mapping. These libraries are available individually or packaged together in GINO Bundle.

Product Description

GINO is a suite of portable graphics and GUI development tools used for the development of scientific and engineering applications. The full suite contains over 900 callable functions and is available for either F90, C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi or .NET. As well as containing high-level graphing features such as line graphs, charts, contour maps and 3D surfaces, GINO includes a fully programmable GUI interface(GINOMENU) and a host of low-level drawing routines for vector-based graphics development in 2D and 3D. GINO features fully integrated OpenGL functionality including facets, lighting, shading and texture-mapping for developing state-of-the-art 3D models. GINO runs under Windows, Linux, UNIX and OpenVMS.
Graphics Libraries

GINO Bundle
GINO Bundle provides over 900 graphics and GUI routines. The library includes features for 2D and 3D data presentation, GUI windows and widgets, low-level functionality such as line drawing, fonts, filling, image handling, interaction, segment structures, transformations & viewing and and OpenGL features such as facets, bezier surfaces, lighting, shading and texture mapping. The bundle is built up of GINO, GINOGRAF, GINOSURF and GINOMENU as described below:

   

GINO
GINO provides over 450 routines for developing 2D and 3D graphics applications. The library includes functionality from basic line drawing, fonts, polygons and images to full 3D OpenGL features such as facets, bezier surfaces, lighting, shading and texture-mapping. Metafile output includes JPEG, PNG, CGM, Postscript and WMF.

   

GINOMENU
GINOMENU is a toolkit for developing GUI applications under Windows. It provides extensive window and widget building modules in an easy to use format without the need to get involved in resource files, MFC or direct Windows programming. Access to the optional high level graphics facilities featured in GINO or GINO Bundle is also available.

   

GINOGRAF
GINOGRAF facilitates the display of 2D data in any popular charting format including block filled bar, step and area charts, X-Y graphs, population graphs, text charts and vector diagrams. Complete control over annotation, axes, titling and shading is provided.

   

GINOSURF
GINOSURF enables 3D data visualization in the form of contour maps, cross-sections and surfaces with full hidden-line removal. Options include triangulation for contour maps, full annotation and 4D data draped over 3D surfaces.

   

CALGINO
CALGINO is a library of callable routines that mirror the popular Calcomp HCBS routines used extensively for plotting graphics applications. The CALGINO versions convert the routines to their equivalent GINO routines, enabling existing Calcomp style programs to benefit from the device-independent nature of GINO.
