Formatted Text Control
The Formatted Text Control (FTC) is a canvas based control for Real Studio that implements word processor capabilities similar to Apple Pages or Microsoft Word. The FTC is useful for implementing reports or general word processing capabilities within your applications. The FTC supports Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. It also compiles and runs under linux, but has not been thoroughly regression tested for linux. The FTC is completely written in Real Studio.

Mask-R-Aid
Mask-R-Aid is a tool for creating masks. An icon consists of an icon image and a mask that tells the system how to render the transparency of the icon. Normally the icon image is rendered with no transparency for most of the icon image (the interior pixels). Transparency comes into play when you want to do shadows or use a photo-realistic icon.
Mask-R-Aid is useful for creating masks in general, but is especially useful when creating photorealistic icons. The problem with a photo-realistic icon is if you do not set the proper grayscale values for the edge pixels of the mask, you will see jagged edges. The problem with setting the grayscale pixels is that it is a tedious and error prone process. Mask-R-Aid makes this process simple and hassle free.
RB Code Reports
RB Code Reports provides software metrics for your Real Studio application. It gives you a way to objectively evaluate the maintainability of your project and improve its performance. It analyzes your project and produces a set of reports including the following.
- Statistics
- Optimizations
- Cyclomatic Complexities
- Warnings
- Signatures
- Spell Checking
- User Defined Custom Reports
You can use these reports to clean up and optimize your code and show you what methods need to be refactored.
