| Advanced Features |
- Custom objects
- Visual Editor. See PowerDoc Editor for details.
- High quality rendering, anti-aliasing, sub-pixel precision, alpha channels
- A full 3x3 transformation matrix can be applied to any PowerDoc object. This includes 2D perspective transformations and affine transformations such as scaling, skewing, rotation etc.
- Masking and alpha-blending
- Support for G, GA, RGB and RGBA bitmap images
- BMP/PNG/JPEG import and export functions
- High quality bitmap resampling filters. These filters can be applied even to bitmap images that are skewed, rotated or rendered in perspective.
- Built-in infrastructure for live text editing. Text remains editable even when a 3x3 transformation matrix is applied to it.
- Support for left-to-right scripts and right-to-left scripts such as Arabic or Hebrew
- Support for both horizontal and vertical writing direction with either horizontal or vertical glyph orientation
- Sixteen different types of text progression (e.g. Letf-to-Right & Top-to-Bottom, Top-to-Bottom & Left-to-Right, Top-to-Bottom & Right-to-Left etc.)
- Advanced typography and shaping engine for complex scripts (e.g. ligatures, Arabic script)
- Any object can be converted to a PowerGlyph and anchored in text. This makes it possible to embed pictures, tables, math formulas and other complex structures in text.
- Font Embedding
- Advanced text rendering algorithms for enhanced glyph positioning and text legibility
- An API for fully scalable forms, dialogs and user interface
- Sub-pixel rendering optimized for LCD screens
- Full access to D-Type Font Engine and Rasterizer API
