Idelix Software released Version 3.0 of a software development kit (SDK) for its “Pliable Display Technology” (PDT) software technology. Idelix describes PDT as “a patents-pending virtual lens technology” that expands the useful display space available on handheld devices and other embedded systems, allowing users to “view and interact with their data within the limitation of the small display screens.” … The PDT SDK is written in ANSI C++, and can be used on various software platforms including Linux, the company said.

According to Idelix, SDK version 3.0 adds .NET and Component Object Model (COM) wrappers, and a new vector painting system has also been added to ease the integration of PDT into vector drawing applications. Both OpenGL and non-Open GL rendering solutions are currently available within the PDT SDK, with additional classes for DirectX rendering also included in version 3.0. A Fast Warp renderer component is now included for extremely optimized PDT lens use in memory and CPU constrained applications such as handhelds. A complete list of components included in v3.0 of the PDT SDK can be found here.
