I have some old MFC program using GDI heavily for drawing of texts and vectors. The program is scheduled to be rewritten in the future using DirectX/OpenGL. In the meantime, is there any library which acts as a simple wrapper that could replace GDI for one of these hardware accelerated APIs to improve performance?
