SHAREWARE (evaluation version). What's *new* in this version ---------------------------- - now supports TIM (PSX) file format (!! BETA !!) - improved JPEG (JFIF) and PNG reading/writing - added/changed various things according to user requests - fixed several bugs - etc. Description of Features and Requirements ---------------------------------------- Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules for loading, saving (SVObjects), displaying (SVDrivers) and processing (SVOperators) graphics - converting graphics and "screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way. Only requires OS V2.04 and 68000, but also makes use of available OS V2.1 and V3.x features and 680x0 module versions, as well as optional powerUP (TM) powerPC module plugins. Includes licensed SuperView-Library, which supports the following file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing operators: ->>>> Total of 49 different graphic file formats <<<<- ->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<- ->>>> Total of 9 different graphic display systems (22 cards) <<<<- ->>>> Total of 32 different graphic operators <<<<- SVObjects: - IFF-ACBM - Windows,OS/2 BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM) - IFF-ILBM - JPEG (JFIF v6) - IMG (GEM Graphics) - IFF-DEEP - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Bitmaps) - IFF-FAXX - TIFF - MacPaint MAC - IFF-PBM - PCX - EPS (Header/PS) - IFF-RGB8 - Atari Degas - C64 (Koala, Doodle) - IFF-YUVN - Windows Icon - CDR-Previews - QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2 - SGI - SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint - SunRaster - UtahRLE - PNG - FBM - XWD - Amiga Icons (WB/Magic/New) - IFF-RGFX - TIM as well as all OS3-Datatypes and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43). Many formats with 24 Bit-Support. Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject. Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation. Together with external third party programs also the following file formats seamlessly can be embedded: File Format needs program also needs support for --------------------------------------------------------- - AMF MetaView (ILBM) - DXF/AutoCAD (tm) MetaView (ILBM) - FIG AmiFIG (Postscript) - CGM GPlot (Postscript) - IFF-DR2D MetaView (ILBM) - Limbo Limbo 4.0 (PNM) - Postscript (TM) Ghostscript - - WPG-Vector MetaView (ILBM) - WMF MetaView (ILBM) Devices (via SVObjects): - Scanner (scanner.device of ScanQuix) - Printer (printer.device/TurboPrint/Studio) SVDrivers : - OCS/ECS - AGA - EGS7 - OpalVision - Retina - CyberGraphX - PicassoII - Merlin - Picasso96 SVOperators : - Dither24Bit - 24BitToHAM - HilbertDither256 - ExtractRed - ExtractGreen - ExtractBlue - XOR - ExtractGrayScales - TopToBottom - LeftToRight - Rotate - Scale50 - AnyTo24Bit - Crop - CallPNM - OptimizePalette - RotateFree - PaletteDither plus the following from Steve Quartly: - SQBentley - SQTiling - SQThreshold - SQOilPaint - SQMosaic - SQEmboss - SQSlicing - SQDiffuse - SQContrast - SQSharpen - SQBlur - SQDeep_Press - SQMotion_Blur - SQHighPass PROGRAM-CHANGES: ================ V7.50 (1.1.98): - there's a new support BBS called NewsLine - see "Update" section V7.40 (24.12.97): - updated "README_WICHTIG_IMPORTANT", the 'first aid on installation' text - added a note about SuperViewPalette, its purpose and how/when to remove it (-> Sven Drieling, Michael Heinrich in Fido) - clearification, Register.txt: Updates usually are freely available (in fact, all updates - from the very beginning - have been freely available on Aminet) (-> Terry Coles) - in conjunction with the optional user image display in the about requester (datatype) we checked for OS 3.1 instead of 3.0. Fixed. - "Known bugs and program limits": - added some notes about "CyberSlide" crashes under Picasso96 - added notes about viewmode generation under AGA, CGfx, P96 and about ModeP - SuperSlide and CyberSlide no longer detach from CLI, as a side effect now are somewhat smaller and won't cause any priority problems any longer (-> Ramiro Garcia) - SuperViewPalette now checking for ppc.library, too - included Library 19.9 LIBRARY-CHANGES: ================ V19.11 (1.1.1998) : ------------------- - Note: V19.10 obviously was not on Aminet - not my fault - SVObjects: - JPEG: - (see there) - installer script did show the PPC warning message unconditionally, even without a PPC being present (this was left there from the testing phase). Fixed. - Support-Lib: with a PPC, take care that C2P=SV is set (see there). Otherwise the PPC can't be utilized for c2p/p2c conversion. V19.10 (27.12.1997) : --------------------- - Support-Lib: - MODEGEN was missing in .cpinfo file (thus also not accessible from SVPrefs) - Docs: - updated info on ImageEngineer: Simon now has a new email and homepage - updated PMPro info (Blittersoft, GTI, Irseesoft: versions prices, WWW sites, emails, etc.) - same for ScanQuix - updated the rest, too... V19.9 (24.12.1997) : -------------------- - Note: V19.8 was not on Aminet - NEW SVObjects: - TIM (PSX): - console graphics, as e.g. written by Personal Paint (!! BETA !!) - SVObjects: - JPEG, PNG: - smarter, faster - BMP: - fixed bug in writing (4 bit, only) - SVDrivers: - CyberGraphics: - (see there) - Support-Lib: - new preferences option for viewmode generation (-> Ramiro Garcia) V19.8 (8.12.1997) : ------------------- - SVObjects: - AmiIcon: - fixed bug, that could make the system crash when sv-lib was loaded/flushed ***************************************************************************** ** Please support SHAREWARE and register NOW to receive YOUR KeyFile !! ** ***************************************************************************** Overview: Supported and Non-supported Graphics Cards ==================================================== Card Name Kind of Support ---------------------------------------------------- 1600GX - A2410 TIGA CG EGS CyberVision64 CG P96 CyberVision64/3D CG DCTV - Domino CG EGS P96 DraCo Altais CG Firecracker - GDA-1 - Graffity - GVP 110/24 EGS GVP IV 24 EGS Colormaster EGS Inferno (Wildfire) CG Merlin CG P96 NAT OMniBus P96 OpalVision NAT Picasso II CG P96 NAT Picasso II+ CG P96 NAT Picasso IV CG P96 Piccolo CG EGS P96 Piccolo SD64 CG EGS P96 Rain*ow II (R-II) EGS Rain*ow III (R-III) EGS Retina Z2 EGS NAT Retina Z3 BLT CG EGS NAT Spectrum CG EGS P96 Visiona EGS As you can see, any reasonable graphics card for the Amiga is supported in some way.
