Q. gdiplus: use GDI+ without MFC or ATL?
(In other words in a plain win32 application)
A. Yes, this is possible.
I found you just need to add one include before to make it work without
those frameworks:
#include <unknwn.h> // Needed for non-MFC/ATL use
#include <Gdiplus.h>
My version of gdiplus.h says:
