ASG (A)uto(s)tereo(g)ram Generator Version 1.1
(C) H. Weber / R. Zippel 1994, all rights reserved !
Terms of usage :
ASG produces Autostereograms, pictures that, looked at in the correct way,
appear to be 3-dimensional. This version of ASG can only be used for a few
weeks. If you like to use it after it expired, you can send a self addressed,
stamped envelope containing a formatted 3.5" disk and DM 5,- or US $ 5,- to one
of the addresses mentioned below. We will send you a version of ASG without
restrictions. This may not be copied anymore. We will include executables for
OS/2 and DOS. If you need an executable for e.g. AIX, HPUX, ..., please ask if
it is available (use the e-mail adresses below) before you send us anything.
You may copy the original .zip file without any changes. The authors can
in no way be responsible for any damage or loss whatsoever caused by the
use (or misuse) of ASG. While reasonable precautions have been taken to
ensure that ASG performs as specified, the user assumes responsibility for
any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly by use of this software.
The executables have been complied using the EMX/GCC compiler for OS/2.
All files (and their sources) belonging to the GNU package are available
via FTP and can be copied according to the GNU public license.
Usage :
ASG takes a 256 color grayscale PCX and generates an autostereogramm. The PCX
should include a grayscale palette, or the program you create it with has to
really use the PCX header information that is has no palette.
You can use random textures or textures that can be read from another PCX. You
can also make black and white pictures with a specified brightness, that can be
printed.
The pictures can be just generated, or viewed with a viewer of your choice
(e.g. PMJPEG, XV, PV, PMVIEW, PAINTBRUSH, ...).
Invocation :
asg -i infile [-o outfile] [-option1] [-option2] [-option...]
possible options :
-i <filename> Name of the picture with height information
-o <filename> Name of the generated picture (no viewer)
-t <filename> Name of the texture
-b Hi/Lo Byte first conversion
-x <value> X-Size of the generated picture
-y <value> Y-Size of the generated picture
-s <value> Scale of the height information
-d <value> Eyedistance
-h <value> Brightness in % white (only -t bw)
-v <path> Path to the viewer (not with -o)
-m Special-Mode (use with textures)
-n Inverts height information
-p Moves the position of the texture
Options you regularly use can be put in a file named asg.ini. It
should contain one option per line, just like this :
-v f:\os2\util\pmjpeg
-x 1024
-y 768
-d 110
-b has to be used if the hi/lo byte order of the machines the PCX was generated
on and ASG works on differ (e.g. PC <-> RS6000).
All other options should explain themselfes.
