SHAREWARE (evaluation version). What's *new* in this version ---------------------------- - quite a lot happened during the recent releases: you should update NOW, since the next version probably won't be released before the Computer '97 in Cologne 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 44 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 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: ================ V7.25 (19.10.97): - added polish catalogs by Boguslaw Dziewierz - included Library 19.4 BTW: did you already notice, that BlitterSoft now is selling Picture Manager prof. (PMPro) V4.1 for 39.95 UKP ? Check out http://blittersoft.wildnet.co.uk/pmpro.htm or the demo version on Aminet under biz/demo/pmpdemo.lha (it's on the Aminet-CD #21, too) LIBRARY-CHANGES: ================ V19.4 (19.10.1997) : -------------------- - SVDrivers: - ECS, AGA: (see there) - MISC: - added note about possible ppc.library and powerpc.library conflicts (when using the PPC-Modules) to the installer script: always use powerpc.library V7, when using one. - BTW: the MCP and PPC notes in the installer script are not yet localized. Would be nice, if someone could do that. - updated polish catalog by Boguslaw Dziewierz Now placed in correct directory, with correct spelling (polski) - updated "Press feedback" section - updated information on english PMPro in 3rd party section - Prefs: - fixed small bug - new Wizard-GUI with lots of improvements done by Georg Rottlaender ***************************************************************************** ** 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.
