     Documentation:
  • The StyleGrid plugin comes fully documented in 3 ways:
    1. HTML Documentation
    2. On-Line Documentation
    3. We document our plugins with RB Plugin Plunger, which means that the documentation is built into the plugin. To read the documentation users need to download RB Plugin Plunger which is a free utility which was created by some Plugin authors to provide a standardized documentation for plugins.
  • There are several example projects that come with the StyleGrid.
   
   Under the hood:
  • StyleGrid is written in C++, its native for each target platform, no platform emulation is done. The Win32 version uses only the Windows API and the MacOS version uses only the native MacOS Toolbox (And some OS X native API's on OS X).
  • The StyleGrid uses the lightning fast Einhugur Floating Engine Data container as its base for storing and managing data in efficient way.
  • The StyleGrid uses REALentry API 1.0 made by Alfred Van Hoek and Einhugur Software, to provide a StyleGrid API to 3rd party plugin developers.
  • The StyleGrid uses the Einhugur Grid Rendering Engine to do the screen drawing.
