BrushCon © Ken Howe 1993 ------------------------ BrushCon is a utility to convert standard IFF brush files into C source code. The GUI was designed using "GadToolsBox an absolulty brilliant program. BrushCon requires WB 2.04+ to work. D-I-S-C-L-A-I-M-E-R ------------------- The author of this software accepts no responsibility for loss or damage of any kind through use of this software. Instructions ------------ BrushCon is a simple to use utility which will convert an IFF ILBM image into a C image. It has an Intuition Front-end designed using GadToolsBox. To start BrushCon from Workbench, double-click its icon. To start it from the shell type in "BrushCon". BrushCon will now open in its own window. The Window can be dragged, closed and layered using the standard workbench controls. The window also has six gadgets used for telling BrushCon information about the file you want to process. The three text gadgets support all the Workbench 2.04+ standard keys including tabbing between fields. A full list of these keys can be found in most Amiga documentation/manuals. The first two text gadgets are used to specify the input and output files, if you prefare you can click on the directory gadget to their right and pick the filenames from a directory requestor. The last text gadget is used for the name of the structures BrushCon will create in the C source file. To convert the Brush into your source file click on the start gadget. After a short wait all disk activity will stop and your source file is ready for use. Future Plans ------------ I will be expanding BrushCon to produce Sprite source files, and pointer source files as all the information is contained in the IFF file. I am also going make use of the PlanePickOn/Off options to reduce resultant image sizes. I would also like to make BrushCon produce Files for any Language, but as I can only program C and I wrote BrushCon to produce source files for me then thats all it produces. If anyone would like to send me a description of how another language uses Images I will be happy to add it into BrushCon. Thanks ------ Firstly must goto CBM for producing the wonderful Amiga long may it sell. Secondly, Jan van den Baard for creating GadToolsBox. Other S/W --------- Other software written by me :- ASnake - A naff two player snake game. ADump - A windowed hex dump utility. WatchMem - A small program to monitor memory usage ABase - Database system under development (ive seen another DB called ABase so I might have to change the name). The IO system is written, just the GUI to go. Organised- A personnel organiser with Diary, Address Book, Things To Do Year Planner etc (ABase compatible). BrushCon - This program!
