The Future of XiPaint

Version 4.0 already pioneers improvements such as animation and ray tracing. Even so, there are still numerous extensions. I have tried to incorporate "Natural Paint" functionality in 4.0, the release schedule prevented its inclusion. It is however definitely planned for inclusion in version 4.1. Magic Fill is included in 4.0; a lasso-grab for brushes will however nt be available until 4.1.

I've saved futher improvements for version 4.1 and higher. I'm always open to suggestion for features which you urgently require that are not present in the current XiPaint: Just write to me and we'll see what can be done!

The queue concept of pens and brushes will be expanded through libraries. A library may be called up at any time to create new pictures.

A significantpoint is the hierarchial and object-oriented handling of data. A database for managing version-dependent pictures will be included in XiPaint 4.1. Additional information such as text, dates, etc may be attached to such pictures.

The database will be accessible from other Amiga programs. Source code will be freely distribted and access to the relational database provided via a library. Last, but not least, you can also use the database to maintain a list of addresses.
