$VER: MPMorph44.readme 4.4 (23.2.97)
MPMorph is a set of morphing programs. It features full context
sensitive indexed help files, an interactive tutorial, a full
ARexx interface, and "real time" previewing. Full source is available.
Update of beta Version 4.3
Major Update of TSMorph (still available - use that for OS2.04/OS2.1)
MPMorph is a set of morphing programs. It consists of two main programs:
MPMorph Edit the Morph parameters
MPRender Generate the morphed images
MPMorph is used to create a parameter file which is used by MPRender
to produce the morphed images. Run times can be about 3 seconds per frame
for a 150x150 image on a 28Mhz 68040.
MPRender can be used to either morph one (or a series of) image(s) to
another in a set number of frames with a number of control points, or just
distort one (or a series of) image(s) with control points. When MPRender is
run without parameters it will display an ASL file requester for a file
created by MPMorph, it will then create the images, displaying a Progress
Requester on the default public (or named) screen allowing the process to be
interrupted and/or stopped.
ARexx scripts are run before and after each image is processed. These allow
the changing of movement and colour to be controlled along with the ability
to only generate some frames, and also post image processing (e.g. to
change to a non-24-bit format and build an animation).
MPMorph is used to generate the parameter file. When run it displays an
Information Window on a public screen. This allows the input of the file
names to morph between, the number of frames, the start frame, the output
file names, and the type of morph (single or dual images) to be changed.
It also allows the editing of control points on the images. The images are
displayed on a public screen in resizeable, scrollable windows.
When the images are displayed control points can be edited in various
modes. These modes allow the addition, deletion, linking and unlinking of
the control points.
Context sensitive help is displayed using amigaguide. The 'Help' key can
be pressed in the gadgets, over the gadgets, on menus or anytime a window
is active.
