Source: SonoDraw

If you happen to be doing any desktop Cocoa programming that involves vector graphics, an excellent place to start from is GCDrawKit, part of the open source collection of Graham Cox. Chances are if you’ve looked for anything of that sort you’ve found it on your own already, but here’s something new: full source code to a CAD application using it!

I thought that people might be interested in the source code for the latest build of our in-house CAD application SonoDraw. A full source bundle, including all supporting frameworks, can be downloaded from here:

This version finally integrates work that Allan Daly and Michael Caron have done on the DXFReader framework and its connection to DrawKit.

Peruse the announcement thread on the DrawKit mailing list, and enjoy!

Colophon:

Yes, we’re over halfway now in The Great Wordpress Client Test, and today’s victim is:

myWeblog 2.1!

Unfortunately, this one pretty much falls into the same category as MarsEdit; HTML editing only, no convenient rich text editing. And it’s not quite as polished as MarsEdit either. On the upside, it is much more focused directly on WordPress than anything else so far — particularly, this is the only tool (we think) that has support for WordPress pages as well as blog entries. Of course, we’re not actually using WordPress as a CMS so that’s not a compelling feature at the moment, but if we ever do get around to it we will *definitely* give myWeblog another goaround, since HTML-only editing would be ok for pages that we actually do want to craft in some detail, as opposed to our usual strategy of just throwing up something that we might want to search for later. In the meantime … we’ll give it a 6/10 tie with MarsEdit for the ’semi-casual blogging’ problem space.
