(...) LDView's blending code was originally written to handle LDLite's 0 COLOR syntax, since that is what was originally used in LDConfig.ldr. LDLite's syntax allows for the dithering of two arbitrary colors, either or both of which can themselves (...) (15 years ago, 11-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I've been surprised by some of this discussion of dithered colors, because when Foundry was created (not by me), it was done as a "clean room" project, based entirely off of specs, so it's the closest thing out there to a reference parser, and (...)

(...) It sounds like you already discovered the root cause of this, but just in case you haven't, MFC's CDC::TabbedTextOut() always crashes in Print Preview mode in Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1. --Travis (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) How about just "use the 'dithered' range but apply LDConfig on top of them, overriding any colour that gets in the way"? -Santeri (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I can confirm that. While the LSC may have dithered over the spec, we certainly didn't drop "dither" intentionally. (Mind you, given the number of referenced specs we had to ratify first before we could get onto "the biggie", I'm surprised we (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I think Travis' wording may be confusing. Don't use "the old dither algorithm". MLCad 3.30 draws colors 256-511 as *solid* colors. That's better than using the stippling algorithm from previous MLCad versions. (No new/current software stipples (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi, sorry to say, but I just found a bug in MLCad which is caused by the actual compiler I'm using. When you start printing preview in MLCad it is crashing when part lists are printed. I'm working on that .... Michael (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
