FTC 1.1 beta 1

FTC 1.1 beta 1 has been uploaded to the web site.

Here is the first version 1.1 beta. I have been working a lot in
the guts of the FTPicture class and FTCustom classes. Please watch
for any anomalies I may have introduced. You may have to rework
your custom classes a bit to take advantage of the new
capabilities. One of the bigger affects of this work is that
custom object can be rendered in high resolution in all
circumstances. For example, the the FTGraph class will render at
the full resolution at any scale (it looks better).

With this beta I am adding a class called FTCustomHyperlink for
doing hyper links. If you have suggestions for enhancements, send
them to me. So enjoy!

There are a few more things I wish to add to version 1.1, so stay
tuned for further betas.

Here's what is new with this beta...

- Added hyperlinks via a custom object class called
FTCustomHyperlink. This custom class is a stop gap measure until
full fledged hyperlinks can be implement in version 2.0. The only
functional difference between this implementation and the one to
come in 2.0 is the ability to edit the link inline. The
FTCustomHyperlink will act like a picture in that it will act as
one unit.

- Added a setDrawBorder method to the FTPicture class that allows
you to control if a border is draw around a picture when it has
the focus. This is meant for custom object who want more control
over their appearance.

- Added a setNudge method to the FTPicture class that allows you
to control where the picture is drawn in relation to the baseline.
If you are drawing text in a custom object, this gives you control
over where the baseline in the custom object appears in relation
to the rest of the drawn text.

- Enhanced the FTCustom class by adding a ScaleChanged event. This
event is triggered when the scale of the document changes.

- Enhanced the paint event in custom objects by passing a printing
flag and the scale needed for printing. This allows you to do high
resolution output.

- Fixed a couple of bugs associated with passing in an empty
string into the setText method.
