Add dynamic 2D/3D graphics to your application.
VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) is a component to easily create and manage and print 2D and 3D drawings. VectorDraw objects expose methods and properties that are compatible with most common vector formats and other CAD objects. It supports over 10 vector formats and many raster formats. VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) is fully object oriented, the component is written in .NET C# code. An ActiveX component is also supplied. This ActiveX provides backward compatibility for older development platforms like Visual Basic 6.0 (VB 6) and Delphi. VectorDraw Developer for Compact Framework (CE Libraries) also included.
VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) is a graphics engine-library that can be used from developers in order to visualize their applications. You can easily create, edit, manage, export, import and print 2D and 3D drawings - graphic files. A format used by VDF named VDML (and VDCL same as VDML but compressed) XML based that supports custom objects and is not depended from the component's version. The library also supports import-export of several vector and raster formats including native SVG export.
Supported Formats
VectorDraw supports these vector files and raster formats from import and export: .DWG, .DXF, .DGN, .PDF, .WMF, .EMF, .VDML, .VDCL, .BMP, .JPG, .TIFF, .GIF, .PNG, .SKP, .TGA.
These formats are also support but for export only: .DWF, .SVG, .HPGL

VectorDraw Ray Tracing Engine (vdRay)
The VectorDraw Ray Tracing Engine(vdRay) is an add-on library to the VectorDraw Developers Framework (VDF) that gives you the ability to export photo-realistic images from your application. Easy and simple , vdRay will help you create nice images and also videos from your vdml files. Simply add some materials to your 3d objects , adjust the lighting , camera and export an image that supports shadows , mirrors , reflections and more. VDF (VectorDraw Developers Framework) 3D capabilities due to user interaction cannot offer effects that give photo-realism to the render output , this is where vdRay comes in, the add-on fulfills the need for better rendering output.
The VectorDraw Ray Tracing Engine -vdRay- is a component that can create photorealistic images using ray tracing algorithms. Through the Vector Draw component, all the existing vdDraw documents and drawings can be rendered taking into consideration certain properties such as reflection, transparency, surface roughness etc. The vdRay component is very easy to use and the visual benefits are obvious. Effects that can't be created with the current Vector Draw render machine (shadows, glass objects, mirrors and more) are now possible with Vector Draw Ray Tracing Engine - vdRay.
