Metaphrasis is a static conversion class for transforming RGBA image buffers into various GX texture formats for Wii homebrew development. Metaphrasis is written in C++ and makes use of a community standard and newly developed algorithms for conversion of 32-bit RGBA data buffers into various GX texture formats common to both the Gamecube and Wii platforms.

This library was developed in-full by Armin Tamzarian with the support of developers in #wiidev on EFnet, Chaosteil of libwiisprite, and DrTwox of GRRLIB.

Full Doxygen API documentation is included within the download archive for assistance with program integration.

FreeTypeGX is a wrapper class for libFreeType which renders a compiled FreeType parsable font into a GX texture for Wii homebrew development. FreeTypeGX is written in C++ and makes use of a selectable pre-buffered or buffer-on-demand methodology to allow fast and efficient printing of text to the EFB.

Note: As of version 0.2.1 FreeTypeGX has forked into two disparate projects and now relies upon the Metaphrasis library.

GRRLIB is a C/C++ 2D/3D graphics library for Wii application developers. It is essentially a wrapper which presents a friendly interface to the Nintendo GX core. With it, coders can quickly and easily start creating graphical applications.

GRRLIB is supplied as a standard C/C++ library (aka. archive) called ‘libgrrlib’. Because GRRLIB processes JPEG and PNG images, it requires the installation of the ‘libjpeg’ and ‘libpngu’ libraries. ‘libpngu’, in turn, requires ‘libpng’ and ‘libpng’ requires ‘libz’. GRRLIB also has FileIO functions to allow real-time loading and saving of graphical data, and thus also requires ‘libfat’. GRRLIB also has the possibility to use TrueType fonts, so ‘libfreetype’ is also required.

Changes:

libpng was updated to version 1.4.2
libjpeg was updated to version 8b
zlib was updated to version 1.2.5
FreeType 2.3.12 support (first support)
3D primitive drawing: torus, sphere, cube, cylinder and cone
Light functions (diffuse, specular, spot) + ambient
Splitted functions for rotation/translation/scaling 3d object.
Here is the list a new added samples demo code :
3d_light1 -> Simple Diffuse light sample code
3d_light2 -> Simple Lights and GRRLIB_ObjectViewInv sample
3d_light3 -> A little Specular light sample code
3d_light4 -> Spot Light Sample Code
3D_sample5 -> Simple demo of rotation/translation/scaling 3d object.
ttf -> TrueType Font demo
