MGRX project is a 2D graphics library derived from the GRX library. GRX was originaly written by Csaba Biegl for DJ Delorie's DOS port of the GCC compiler. MGRX supports four platforms: DOS (DJGPPv2), Linux console, Linux X11 and Win32 (Mingw). On DOS it supports VGA and VESA compliant cards. On Linux console it uses the framebuffer. On X11 and Win32 it runs in a window.
Why MGRX
MGRX is a fork of GRX. Because I liked the GRX C API interface, I began to maintain GRX when it was orphaned at the end of 2000. But GRX has not only the C API, it has a Pascal API, a BGI compatibility API, support for Turbo C, Wattcom, MSC and some X11 implementations over mainframes. At the end it was not funny, to easy to break things I don't know (and don't want to know). So I stoped my job maintainig GRX at the end of 2003. At the time I write this, GRX is still orphaned.
But in the mean time I developed a fork for my own use, only the C API, no Pascal, no BGI, no Turbo C support, only the 4 platforms I can test. And a new (and better I think) input API. And now I have released it, only for fun.
