Around for long time
We have been here, supplying thousands of customers with addons for Xojo and its predecessors since 1997.
Usable demos
No compiled only demo version where you cannot develop and try them out in your own solution.
You can use all our demo versions to test and develop your product for as long as you like before deciding on purchase.
We love Raspberry Pi
Since we love Raspberry PI and electronics, then we have opened zone with step by step Wiring PI and sensor guides that are oriented for Xojo developement on Raspberry PI. All the guides are free of charge for everyone.

Einhugur macOS Bridge is a plugin to make it easier to use some macOS Native objects and interface with them using Xojo objects, Einhugur Plugin objects such as RawBitmap, declares and 3rd party plugins.
The macOS native objects have been simplified and adapted to make using them from Xojo very easy.
For Example then macOS file Icon for any file or file type can be obtained in just one line of code, and can then be either drawn in one line into Xojo Graphics or converted to Xojo picture object in one line of code.
The macOS Bridge plugin can help you set up Touch-bar support in your applications.

PictureEffectsRaw is a Xojo plugin to do effects on Raw picture buffers, that originate from MemoryBlocks. With Xojo going more for Pre-multiplied alpha channels with their Picture objects then Xojo Picture object is no longer suitable for serious image processing. But the RawBitmap class and the PictureEffectsRaw bridge that.
Supported effects:
-
Color filters:
Brightness, Contrast, Color filtering, Levels, Tint, Temperature, Grayscale, Gamma, Hue - Saturation, Invert, Sepia, Exposure, Gain / Bias, Contrast Stretch, Desaturate, Equalize, Replace color -
Blur:
Blur, Gaussian Blur, Crystalize -
Enhance:
Sharpen, Smooth -
Rotate and scale:
High quality Bilinear Scaling, Flip Horizontal, Flip Vertical, Stretch Horizontal, Stretch Vertical, High quality rotation rotation -
Render:
Gradient, Clouds, Wood, Marble, Textile, Labyrinth , Rainbow Effect -

Emboss, Edge Detect -
Artistic:
Oil Paint, Rank Order -
Distort:
Shape distort, Polar Coordinates, Trim effect, Barrel distort, Interlace, Lens Effect, Pinch Effect, Twirl Effect -
Other:
Channel mixer, Blend -
Low level:
Map, Custom 3x3 matrix, ImageComparer
This plugin is handy where the plugin needs to run on Enterprise restricted environment such as various of cloud servers, or if you need to interact with other 3rd party plugins that can work on MemoryBlock. Given Xojo picture inaccuracy in Console mode then RawBitmap handling offers superior accuracy per platform and across platforms, and can handle images with 16bits per channel as well as ICC Color profiles.. PictureEffectsRaw can also be used together with the Einhugur BarcodePlugin to support auto rotation in barcode detection, Einhugur GraphicsFormats plugin and some other plugins.
Supported on:
-
Mac OS X (32 bit and 64 bit)
-
Windows (32 bit and 64 bit)

Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language
On Linux and Mac OS X it takes little over 200 kb when compiled into your application. On Windows it takes little over 300 kb.
Lua is proven and robust language
Lua has been used in many industrial applications, with an emphasis on embedded systems (e.g., the Ginga middleware for digital TV in Brazil) and games (e.g., World of Warcraft). Lua is currently the leading scripting language in games. Lua has a solid reference manual and there are several books about it. Several versions of Lua have been released and used in real applications since its creation in 1993. Lua featured in HOPL III, the Third ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages Conference, in June 2007.
Lua is fast
Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. A substantial fraction of large applications have been written in Lua.
The Lua script engine Lua is designed, implemented, and maintained by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Lua was born and raised in Tecgraf, the Computer Graphics Technology Group of PUC-Rio, and is now housed at Lablua. Both Tecgraf and Lablua are laboratories of the Department of Computer Science of PUC-Rio.

JSON plugin II is a Xojo plugin that adds parsing of JSON messages as well as ability to create them.
This plugin can create JSON from complex variant and dictionary structures. The plugin offers modern interfaces and high compatibility to the strictest standards.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language. See more at http://www.json.org.
For those who are using the older and less modern JSON plugin from us then we will continue to support that plugin. Though there are limitations in that engine which of course prevent us to bring it to same level as this plugin.

Specialized layout management plugin control for Xojo
The FlowLayout plugin helps you create a user interface design where horizontal layout of the controls is sensitive for localization as well as platform differences.
Example where you design your user interface like this:
When we localize this to for example Icelandic then normally the result would be something like this:
Notice how there was not enough space for the translation of Zip.
When using the flow layout the user interface would adjust to look like this:
Another example:
When localized this design would normally go like this:
But if using the flow layout the user interface adjusts like this:
In same way the FlowLayout can help you ease the pain of platform differences when dealing with user interface that is sensitive to horizontal space. For example the space the text would have taken on Linux systems almost certainly would not be the same, but the FlowLayout handles that.
