"The REBOL/View graphics system was designed for displaying user interfaces and presentations on computers, kiosks, and television sets. The system was optimized for combining multiple graphical elements such as images, text, buttons, area, and effects. Although it was not intended for low level graphics, such as rendering bitmaps, lines, or polygons, it is capable of drawing basic shapes with a variety of attributes."

For other examples of the Draw dialect, check out Easy Draw in the docs folder on the REBOL/View desktop. ===In the REBOL world :[url http://www.rebol.com/sdk.html]REBOL SDK[/url] (beta) - A new package for developers that includes /Base, /Face, /Encap, prebol 2.0 (preprocessor), installer (you can now make custom self-installing programs), and source code to REBOL source-based modules, including protocols, network modules, view modules (including the source code to VID), and more.
Dec-2002 :[url http://www.safeworlds.com/altme.html]AltME debuts[/url] - AltME (Alternative Messaging Environment) is the next generation of instant messenger that runs entirely on your own computer. There are no central servers, so all users, all messages, and all activities are kept private. You have full control. It may look familiar to those of you using IOS. It is being built backward from IOS. Starting with just a very simple and clean messaging system, sort of like IRC (New features will be added over time). This is intended for the mass market. Almost no learning curve. Download, enter password and start using. To join the REBOL world login: guest, pass: guest, and request a login by providing your name and email address in the Accounts group.
Nov-2002 :[url http://www.rebol.com/docs/prebol.html]PREBOL: REBOL Language Preprocessor[/url] - The official REBOL preprocessor. Combines multiple source or data files into a single REBOL output file.
Includes the full power of REBOL, allowing you to evaluate any REBOL expression during processing. Allows merging of code, data, images, sound and other types of files. Supports conditional expressions, such as conditional including of files. The output is a reduced REBOL source file with extra spacing, comments, and include file headers removed. Processing is recursive, so included files can themselves contain commands to process. Very powerful. :[url http://oldes.multimedia.cz/swf/]FLASH Dialect[/url] - REBOL Flash Dialect project by Oldes. Create Flash files directly from REBOL. This project is one of the best examples of the power of dialecting in REBOL. Now includes Flash MX examples :[url http://vvn.net/reboldap/]reboLDAP: {The Rebol LDAP Project.}[/url] - The main goal of the reboLDAP project is to promote and develop software tools and support for LDAP - utilizing the REBOL language. :[url http://earl.strain.at/space/rebXR]RebXR for XML-RPC[/url] - rebXR is a full client/server XML-RPC implementation for REBOL by Andreas Bolka. :[url http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=199]Interview with Carl Sassenrath[/url] - Rebol Technologies CTO and founder talks to [url http://www.osnews.com/] OSNews[/url] about the REBOL Internet Operating System. :[url http://www.rebol.com/ios-intro.html]REBOL/IOS[/url] - Introducing the REBOL Internet Operating System... First there was email, then the web, then instant messenging. Now there is REBOL/IOS... IOS lets people work together in real-time from anywhere in the world. It transforms physically separated groups into productive, unified teams by providing a direct, secure, and responsive environment for collaboration and sharing :[url http://www.rebolforces.com/~erebol/]Rugby: The REBOL request broker[/url] - Rugby is a request broker completely written in Rebol. It does all things you can do with SOAP like technology, plus many more... You can use it to build Internet services in an afternoon, or write distributed applications such as file sharing, chatting, etc. Rugby will help you to do this in an extremely short timeframe :[url http://www.rebolforces.com/~ladislav/contexts.html]Words, Aliases, Contexts, Visualizations, Bindings and Scope in Rebol.[/url] - Ladislav's legendary documentation of REBOL contexts. :[url http://www3.sympatico.ca/gavin.mckenzie/]REBOL and XML[/url] - Gavin has been working on some excellent enhancements/extensions for XML use from REBOL.
xml-parse.r - improves upon the XML compliancy of REBOL's built-in XML parsing functionality
xml-object.r - creates a function "xml-to-object" that converts a series of nested blocks, into a series of nested objects. :[url http://www.langreiter.com/vanilla/]Vanilla flavoured REBOL[/url] - Chris Langreiter's REBOL powered Vanilla is a simple hypertext system, essentially a cross between a WikiClone and a weblogging system. Its potential uses, however, are unlimited. It is currently used as department-level/small-company Content Management System, project group communication tool, base for Intranets, idea interconnector, Knowledge Management system, contact database etc.
:[url http://www.robertmuench.de/]Make-Doc-Pro[/url] - Robert Muench has improved/extended the original make-doc from Carl Sassenrath. make-doc-pro provides a portable, easy-to-edit format for all kind of documents. The program was designed to convert a simple text formatted file into HTML or other document formats (such as PDF or REBOL/View). The beauty of the format is that the text documents are quick to write and are very readable. (many parts of the rebolforces site are formatted using make-doc) :[url http://www.rebol.com/news2514.html]REBOL/IOS Nominated for a Webby![/url] - REBOL is honored with international online community's top accolade.
