PicMerge v2.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
© 1994 by Frank Düber
This little program merges two same-sized BitMaps by using logical
operators. All Amiga-Viewmodes are available, except of the HAM-
and 8HAM-Mode. That means, you can work with pictures with up to
256 colors.
The idea for this program was born as I was in trouble. How can I
merge two animations (one on the left, one on the right) in one?
So I done a simple hack to 'OR' the BitMaps. After adding a little
GUI-Interface I decided to make PicMerge public.
Usage:
------
PicMerge can be controlled by mouse or keybord. Hopefully I leaned
on Commodores Guide-Lines.
o Source A [Amiga-A]
Path and name of the first picture of source A
o Source B [Amiga-B]
Path and name of the first picture of source B
o Dest [Amiga-D]
Path and name of the first picture of destination
!! WARNING !! ALL PICTURE-NAMES MUST HAVE 4 NUMBERS AT THE END.
THIS WOULD NORMALLY BE NO PROBLEM, CAUSE MOST GRAPHIC-PROGRAMS DO
THIS AUTOMATICALLY. FOR EXAMPLE: ram:test/picture.0001
o Numbers [Amiga-N]
Number of pictures to be worked on.
o Identical [Amiga-I]
If all picture are same sized, using this option would save
a lot of time during work.
o Operation [CR/Enter]
Here is the logical function chosen, which will operate on
the BitMaps. You can choose between:
- OR
- AND
- NOR
- NAND
- EOR
- EQL
o Start [Amiga-S]
Starts the operation.
o Cancel [Amiga-C]
Only available during operation and breaks this one.
o Quit [Amiga-Q]
Something to say here ?
You can also use the Window-Close-Gadget or the ESC-Key.
o Additional to this, you can find some interesting indicators.
A percental and absolute progress-indicator and a dialog-
window.
Known Bugs:
-----------
- There's no format and size test at time. Misuse may cause a
GURU ! Typically the merging pictures have the same size.
- Non exact error-text by working on a file.
- unknown (at time)
Future:
-------
- Bug-killing
- Preview-Window
- If possible, using the Blitter for operation (With MC68040
there's not so a big time-win)
- Mask-Operations

This program is PublicDomain. My only wish is: everyone who uses
PicMerge should write me an mail via E-Mail or Fido-Net, please.
I'm very interested in knowing where in the world my program is
used.

Bug-Reports, suggestions, .... may send to this adresses, too.
All, I got a message from, would be informed when I generate an
update.
Many thank go also to Nico Français (ReqTools.library) and Christian
A. Weber (iff.library). Their libraries are included. For further
informations about these have a look to the Aminet.
