Updates on Freetype Demos - Swift Support

[Ahmet Göksu]

Hello,
I apologize for my recent silence due to exams. Thank you for your understanding. I am now able to be more active.

Here's the updates so far with the Graph Demos Swift support:
-studied the code in grx11.c
-studied the code in ftgamma.c
-studied how they built by makefiles
-developed a demo using cocoa and swiftui
https://github.com/goeksu/GraphDemo
This demo opens a window, displays a test bitmap, and logs keyboard strikes.

while the development process has been easy and basic so far, I am now facing the challenge of figuring out how to integrate this  into the existing codebase. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in this matter..

Best,

Goksu

Hello Alexei,
First, sorry for delay, I am also challenging with my final exams.

Thank you for your suggestion, it was much more easier to follow.

Here is my plan to do:

*Create bridging-header.h to expose Swift functions to C:
*Develop the code GraphicsInterface.swift with creating, resizing the window, showing bitmaps and read keystrokes.
*Edit the makefiles to compile the apps with swift_objs

I am still researching about how could I interact the ftgamma-like apps and my swift code without editing them. 

Best,

Goksu

Hi Ahmet

Actually, src/ftgamma.c is the easiest app to follow with the least complicated code. Let me know if you have questions.
