This is blog is about RealWorld Designer framework, the applications based on it, and related topics (computer graphics & programming).
RealWorld Designer is a very thin framework, where almost everything is a plugin. There are plug-ins for:
- Serialization - open file from file system, Win32 resource, internet, …
- Document type recogniton and parsing - open images, 3D models, icons, cursors, text files, or other custom document types.
- Document creation wizards.
- Operations - resample image, create new icon formats, generate normal vectors, …
- Transformations - create one document from another document (render an image, create icon from image, …).
- Menu commands - add a single command or an entire submenu tree to menu or toolbar.
- Views - display and modify your documents with built-in views, your own views, or a combination.
- Image codecs - of course.
- 3D renderers - raytracing, OpenGL, …
- Icon containers - for usage in menus and toolbars.
RWD plug-ins are not ordinary plug-ins, they are something I’d like to call cooperating plug-ins. But more on this topic in its own post.
