We plan to release a series of tutorials for STYX. They will contain description of the each command and a small practical example including source codes.

The first part is released now:


STYX in Depth Part 1: Com, ActiveX and .Net
The example application is a very simple model viewer. It uses a DLL created in Visual Basic that displays a form with buttons that interact with the DarkBasic Pro application.

I'm getting styx after I get ezrotate. I've got my list. One thing I would have liked to have seen in Styx and that I'm still waiting for is a command set that supports anti aliasing. I mean like 2-3 commands would be all that's needed. A command to turn on and off and a command to set the level of anti aliasing. Maybe one to return whether the hardware supports it.

BTW: That link just redirects me to a lycos page with a link that brings me to another lycos page. Lycos is annoying garbage. Maybe just post it in a thread to be stickied.

Glad you like it and thanks for the support.

Yes, however, due to the internals of DBPro that's not easily possible (if at all). I had investigated this issue many moons back and the biggest hurdle was that in order to change the aa settings you need to create a new D3D Device and pass it to DBPro which unfortunately isn't possible. I'll revisit this problem, though.

Agreed.
It's just a temporary solution until the proper Styx webpage is up and running.

I checked it out. It's very nice. I really like the approach you and David T have taken with your documentation. It's very professional looking and very easy to follow, because it's laid out so very well.

Thanks, but I'll upload it to uwdesign.com later this week.
