A Proposal to Add 2D Graphics Rendering and Display to C++, Revision 2

by Michael B. McLaughlin, Herb Sutter, Jason Zink

Excerpt:

The goal of this proposal is to define a 2D drawing API for the C++ programming language. This proposal is a revision of N4021. It resolves some defects in that document and adds several features which were intended for N4021 but were not completed in time. It was presented in draft form to SG13 at the Rapperswil meeting in June 2014. Based on the consensus feedback received at the meeting, a full Technical Specifications section written in the language, style, and format of the ISO/IEC C++ Standard will be included in the next revision of this proposal.
