Hello!

Recently I played around with the RD's Vectorscope source code and made my own version of it. (Vis & source attached.) I copied the anti-aliased line function from Google Code and was THIS →← near of writing my own anti-aliased curved line algorithm when I though:

Someone has definitely done this before me, and even better than I ever could.

So, I googled around a little, and this one looks very promising:

Check the tutorials. Lovely stuff with a very lightweight code!

All we would need is a small bridge between a graphics library and the Sonique "Visualisation API". The API is only one .h file, and I think even that is partly outdated...

C/C++ graphics coding is not my strong suit, so any ideas are appreciated.

Hello!

For "shit and giggles" I made a small test. I have the Qt development environment on my computer, so I made XMPlay visualisation with it.

Good thing: Boy, that was easy!
Bad thing: QT dlls are required (and not included, about 10 Megs)
Good thing: Great graphics library with anti-aliasing and filters!
Bad thing: Not blazingly fast.
Good thing: OpenGL supported, and it's fast!
Bad thing: OpenGL requires even more dlls.

I tried to attach source code zip, but server croacks. Here's a direct link.
