SHAREWARE (evaluation version). What's *new* in this version ---------------------------- - general clean-up release (you need it ;) - fixed all SVDrivers, especially Picasso96 - fixed some bugs and problem fields - added "how to avoid crashes with MCP" section... 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 43 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 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 support - 24 Bit via TurboPrint or own dithering) 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: ================ V7.20 (20.8.97): - recompiled SViewNG, SuperSlide, CyberSlide and SuperViewPalette with SAS/C V6.58 - fixed small bug in SuperViewPalette LIBRARY-CHANGES: ================ V18.1 (20.8.1997) : ------------------- - general 'clean-up' release - thus bumped version - ALL SVObjects: - recompiled with SAS/C V6.58 - ALL SVDrivers: - recompiled with SAS/C V6.58 - ALL SVOperators: - recompiled with SAS/C V6.58 - SVDrivers: - Picasso96, CyberGraphics, PicassoII, Retina - Picasso96 now 'out of beta stadium' - SVObjects: - SunRaster, SGI - LIBRARIES: - superview.library, superviewsupport.library: recompiled with SAS/C V6.58 - LIBRARY: - if a SVObjects/Driver/Operator can't be loaded (initialized), the library now will give a second try immediately, which will help when memory is low (when "avail flush" effect taking place during library initialization) - DOCS: - flushed, cleaned, fixed all revision histories - updated 'press feeedback' section - MISC: - fixed PCD.cpinfo description - I am sick/tired/bored of getting bug reports, which simply are caused by *MCP* patching the system. It may be a nice tool, but all patches should work as reliable as the original... So the installer script now does ask you to disable the following MCP patches (as long as still being buggy) when using SuperView-Library: - new tooltypes - reqtols patch - onereq - library search - SetRGB32 Otherwise you may get: ramlib-crashes, odd address gurus, check instruction gurus or bad screen colors, ... Thanks to the (big) number of people who told be about problems with MCP. ***************************************************************************** ** 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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2153689 822796 61.7% 20-Aug-97 22:16:58 SViewNG_EL.lha -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 2153689 822796 61.7% 21-Aug-97 19:26:04 1 files
