SHAREWARE (evaluation version). What's *new* in this version ---------------------------- - fixed some bad bugs in the ECS/AGA svdrivers as well as the support.library ("sudden black screen" with SetPatch 40.x) - fixed various other bugs - IFF-RGFX now fully functional (see Achim Stegemann's corresponding V43 datatype on Aminet) - added new ARexx command, important for slideshow control and such uses - 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 48 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 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: ================ V7.35 (6.12.97): - added new 'STATUS' arexx command for getting information about currently loaded/displayed graphics. This does enables you to get some more control oever the program (e.g. for slide show creation) (-> Kramer) V7.30 (16.11.97): - fixed prefs slider (same as in SVPrefs), now ranged 0..65535 by default - now also reads and writes Amiga Icons (WB, MagicWB and NewIcons) in an intelligent manner Note: Reading explicitely needs to be enabled by a Controlpad setting switch! - included Library 19.5 BTW: did you read the review about SuperView and Picture Manager prof. in Amiga Informer issue #10 (www.amigainformer.com) ?
