OVERVIEW of Metagraphics

Founded in November of 1983, Metagraphics has
grown to become a leading supplier of graphic
software development tools for the PC
marketplace. The company's current products have
been widely acclaimed in a broad range of
professional and technical publications, and its
MetaWINDOW graphics system has been featured with
PC TECH Journal's Product of the Month award.


MetaWINDOW:

MetaWINDOW is an advanced, high performance
graphics development toolkit which bridges the
gap between low-level graphic primitive libraries
and prepackaged window managers. The MetaWINDOW
system provides an expanded set of graphic
display functions, plus the added functionality
and performance required for implementing
multi-window desk-top display applications.
Through its rich function set, MetaWINDOW greatly
speeds application development while also
providing device independence over a wide range
of graphic peripherals. MetaWINDOW's full typeset
style graphics interface and multi-window
management functions are now being used in a wide
range of performance demanding applications
including:

o Desk-top Publishing

o Page Layout

o Computer aided design/drafting

o Expert banking and insurance systems

o Computer aided electrical engineering

o Medical instrumentation

o Electronic imaging

o Front-end photo typesetting systems

This package includes the MetaWINDOW DOS resident
graphics driver plus interface libraries, which
link to the application. The MetaWINDOW DOS
resident driver may be distributed on a royalty
free basis with developed applications.
