Short: SViewNG V7.65 + Library 21.2 (5.4.98) Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de Type: gfx/show ***************************************************************************** Via SuperView-Library SViewNG does support powerUP (TM) as one of the first !

SHAREWARE (evaluation version). What's *new* in this version ---------------------------- - remember, there IS OpalVision support, and it is still working (other than some people did claim in comp.sys.amiga.graphics) - too much changes and bug fixes to list here (see below for details) - 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) or: MetaView (ILBM) - CGM GPlot (Postscript) or: MetaView (ILBM) - 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: ================ V7.65 (5.4.98): - added lithuanian catalogs (-> Levas ) - the preferences file requester may have contained garbage in the wildcard pattern field - selecting "Hide" fromout the menu did cause Enforcer hits and maybe a crash (in my tests, it worked fine from the GUI's "Really quit ?" and Cx Echange, though) (-> Waldemar Scheu) - you now can modify controlpad settings fromout scripts using SVPrefs - see "ReadMe.1st" in the ARexx directory for details - included Library 21.2, new PPC modules on Aminet, too LIBRARY-CHANGES: ================ V21.2 (5.4.1998) : ------------------ - SVObjects: - BMP: - added support for 32 bit files - fixed RLE 4/8 and OS/2 support - TIFF: - fixed and upgraded - 68k loader was screwed up to 90 percent - GhostScript: - added controlpad to allow changing stacksize (in case of crashes) - GPlot (CGM): - added controlpad to allow changing stacksize (in case of crashes) - changed way of calling the program - AmiFIG (FIG): - added controlpad to allow changing stacksize (in case of crashes) - changed way of calling the program - Limbo (LMB): - added controlpad to allow changing stacksize (in case of crashes) - changed way of calling the program - MetaView: - added controlpad to allow changing stacksize (in case of crashes) - changed way of calling the program - reading of CGM and FIG now can be redirected to MetaView, as well - PNG, JPEG: - upgraded - FAXX: - added note about problems with MultiFax files - Targa: - fixed several bugs - YUVN: - fixed several bugs - SVOperators: - RotateFree: - see there - SVDrivers: - Picasso96: - fixed problem with 8/24 bit viewmodes - CyberGraphics: - see there - SVPrefs: - now can be used for changing comtrolpad settings fromout the Shell or (ARexx) scripts, too - Support-Lib: - see there - Locale: - added lithuanian catalogs (-> Levas ) - Installer: - it's now assumed that "SVPrefs" is in the search path, so the entry in s:user-startup no longer does include an absolute path (-> Tilo Hanich) - Known bugs: - added note about the "Shutdown" crash problem under CyberGraphX (-> Tilo Hanich) ***************************************************************************** ** 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 P96 CyberVisionPPC 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 P96 NAT Spectrum CG EGS P96 Visiona EGS As you can see, any reasonable graphics card for the Amiga is supported in some way.
