Short: Picture viewer for OS 3.0+. V39.9
Author: cmh@lls.se (Magnus Holmgren)
Uploader: cmh@lls.se (Magnus Holmgren)
Type: gfx/show
Version: 39.9
Requires: OS 3.0
Visage is an IFF ILBM/GIF/JPeg/Datatypes viewer for the AmigaOS version 3.0
and higher. Main features include:
Supports AA (AGA), ECS, RTG, PCHG, SHAM and CLUT. ;)
Can display "deep" pictures in all formats on ECS Amigas, rendered
in HAM, "normal" color or grayscale.
Can scale "rendered" pictures to fit the screen.
Extensive monitor support. Uses a BestModeID()-like function to
find a suitable mode (if needed).
Any native Amiga screen mode can be specified with text! No numbers
needed. But you can use numbers, if you so wish. Or a requester.
Simple promotion of pictures to any installed monitor. No hardcoded
command line options for this. There is even a monitor requester.
Several slideshow options, including a random mode, making Visage
ideal for use with screen blankers as an external module.
It's free!
News in version 39.8 include:
Fixed the low chip memory crash bug. Made some changes to the
installer script as well.
News in version 39.9 include:
Fixed problems with the V43 picture.datatype. Fixed memory losses
when aborting datatype pictures. Some other minor fixes.
Installation notes:
It is recommended to use the Installer, since it takes care of some
not so obvious details, regarding the JPEG reader (in Visage) and the
manual. If you wish to start the installer from the Shell, please use the
ShellInstall script included. It sets the parameters correctly.
Also, note that the automatic language selection doesn't completely work
with all versions of the Installer.
