The technical foundations of the 4D Draw plug-in, as currently used in your applications, are no longer compatible with future standards and operating systems (i.e. the phasing out of QuickDraw™), nor those of 4D (i.e. a move away from the Altura™ libraries).
Standards like SVG – with an XML-based language for vector graphics – provide for the same services and more than 4D Draw, with well-developed rendering capabilities and tight control through programming. 4D v11 SQL is fully compatible with SVG, already able to display any vector object. We will continue our investment in this technology to bring you increasingly more powerful tools.
This being said, with regards to the migration of your applications to 4D v11 SQL, 4D Draw is still perfectly functional. (NOTE: Intel-based Macintosh machines require 4D to be run under Rosetta to use 4D Draw.)
If you have a license for 4D Draw 2004, you can obtain a free license to maintain compatibility with 4D v11 SQL. To get the update, please login at: http://register.hub.4d.fr/4DDraw_v11_Upgrade
