TestPatterns.loader
written by Steve Quartly
steveq@sndcrft.DIALix.oz.au
version 1.1
What is it?
-----------
TestPatterns.loader is a simple loader that gives you a choice of:
Colour Bars 1
Colour Bars 2
Cross Hatch
Linearity
Dots
Grey Scale
Frequency Response
Centering
Thanks to Martin Boyd for suggesting Colour Bars 2.
All of which are useful for lining up monitors. The selected image gets
loaded straight into OpalPaint.
Credits

Thanks must go to Carmen Rizzolo for beta testing this in NTSC and making
some very good suggestions. Also thanks to Martin Boyd (author of
OpalPaint) for his help and feedback whilst writing this.
Internet - what a resource!!!
Installing
----------
Installing TestPatterns.loader is a breeze!
Just copy it to OpalLoaders:
Don't change it's name or it may not be recognized by OpalPaint.
If you are using OpalPaint 2.3 or higher, it should automatically be
recognized by OpalPaint.
If however you are using an earlier version you will need to run the
program RemoveLSI to remove all loaders from the system, and then run the
program InstallLSI to re-install the loaders but also include TestPatterns.
If you don't have RemoveLSI or InstallLSI they are on Aminet:
Directory: gfx/board
File : lsidocs.lha (I'm not sure of the case?)
Operation
---------
If you have installed it correctly you should be able to right click on the
Load Image icon and see a list of loaders available to OpalPaint.
Click on TEST PATTERNS.
A requester should now be displayed. Simply click on the test pattern you
want and then click on OK. Use CANCEL to abort the loader. You can also
double click on a button and it is the same as clicking a button and then
clicking OK.
That's it...... easy huh???
Disclaimer
----------
Do whatever you want with it!
(Is this the shortest disclaimer in history or what!!!!)
Other Stuff
-----------
Got anything else you want added to it????
Let me know at steveq@sndcrft.DIALix.oz.au and if it's not too time
consuming I'll do it!
Have a good day/week/month/year/life!
