SHOWGDI: Provides an Interactive Way to Use GDI Functions

SHOWGDI helps you experiment with and analyze graphics device interface (GDI) behavior. It provides an interactive user interface for most GDI functions and displays the results on the screen. The SHOWGDI interface consists of a set of dialog boxes that let the user specify parameters to GDI functions.

Draw menu commands execute GDI graphics output functions using the current device context (DC) settings set in the General, Pen, Brush, and Text menus. The View menu controls the screen display. The screen shows a scaled copy of the actual drawing, which is drawn using a memory DC, and an optional grid of pixels with coordinates numbered in units corresponding to the memory DC's pixels. You can magnify the display to show the positions of individual pixels clearly.

SHOWGDI was built and tested under Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) version 3.1.
