• New Web Potential

• XML-SVG = Value

• At Last! A Coherent, Purpose-built 2-D Graphics Language.

• PenDrawDev — Learn PenDraw in No Time

• Great Productivity

• A Wide Range of Platforms

• You write 1/3 of the code for the same graphics.
• Less code: less time to program: less opportunity to make mistakes.
• You program more easily and quickly in PenDraw's expressive graphics syntax.
• Your programs are clearer and cleaner, because program structure is graphics-centric with PenDraw.
• Graphics structure is compiler checked. Saves you time. Eliminates bugs. (You can't do that with add-on graphics routines.)
• You can see clearly how to manage attributes.
• Attribute handling has a coherent philosophy: no mysteries.
• PenDraw's unique attribute control gives you true control of graphics output.
• PenDraw No Side-Effects language makes frustrating 'why did it do that?' sessions a thing of the past.
• You save time testing: this is huge: strongly-typed language plus compile-time checking eliminates the vast majority of bugs. (Impossible with add-on graphics routines.)
• You save maintenance time: clear program structure plus intuitive language syntax means programs are truly easy and quick to read and change.

• Automate Drawing on the Web.
• Browser Technology viewing: for simple, cheap deployment.
• Cut bandwidth to a fraction of what's needed for pixel graphics (gifs etc).

• PenDraw version 2.2.e.1 is the current release.
• Download a copy for free evaluation:-
• PenDraw is a Compiler and Interpreter in one program
• You can run any PenDraw program with it
• It's a command-line program that runs on a PC or web server

• PenDrawDev is a whole Development Environment
  • Editor, debugger, compiler and run-time in one program
• Helpful syntax highlighting.
• Plus, its great syntax constructor makes learning PenDraw a snap.
• Fast one-touch execution (compile → run → view-graphics).
• Super run/step/trace control.
• Invaluable View-geometric-variables.
• Exemplary data stack display, for tracing data values during execution.
• 30 days free trial
• Low price after that

• Dynamic generation of graphics from data.
• Automation - efficency levels far beyond point-and-click packages.

• SVG is text - so Search Engines can scan your graphics!!!
• XML leverages existing developer skills.
• SVG + javascript = interactive graphics.
• SVG = high quality truly scalable output.
• SVG improves system performance: smaller downloads.

• Eliminates graphics stack errors and side-effects.
• No surprises: consistent attribute combination (colour, position etc)
• True graphics types (line, point, circle, etc).
  • Simple geometry calcs.
• Attribute values are inherited.
  • But controllable
    • Define any element as un-scalable, or un-rotatable, etc.
    • And leave it to PenDraw.
