A new version of GraphicsX, the extended flash graphics API is now available.

GraphicsX (package draw) is a layer on top of the Flash display.Graphics object. It offers more signature variants (for convenience of use) along with several addition functions to make up for shortfalls in the Flash API. Additionally it allows transform objects to be applied during drawing, thereby allowing arbitrarily complex drawings without suffering from the overhead of having multiple Flash objects.

Here are some of the benefits to using GraphicsX over the native API:

• "arc" and "wedge" drawing commands
• ability to draw rotated ellipses
• polygon drawing with rounded corners
• create arbitrary shapes as fundamentals
• transforms and viewports/windows
• convenient function forms (like centered objects)
