ImageDex is a compiled Arexx script (PowerPack-able!) written for ASDG's Art
Department Professional versions 2.2 to 2.5. The program will take a group of
pictures, scale them down to a specified size, and composite them into one
image (an Image Index!) with filenames as labels. View the IFF file "Sample.iff"
(included in the archive) for an example. This file is a 16 color IFF, and was
done in 12 pics/page mode. Through a completely graphic interface, the user may
specify the number of pictures per image (6, 12, 20, 30 or 48), the output image
format (several IFFs, GIF, DCTV, or JPEG) and other program parameters. All
settings are saved in a configuration file which is automatically recalled each
time the program is run. (See  @{" Running It " link Running}  for more info).
ImageDex has many uses. For artists and renderers it's a great way to organize
artwork, backgrounds, and texture images. (I keep all my Imagine and Lightwave
textures as JPEGs on floppies, with index images on the hard-drive for
reference). For animators it's a good way to build animation storyboards from
single frames. binary only. Author: Zach Williams
