IMAGE PLUS VERSION 1.0
Image Plus uses the image palette if the image contains a
palette if not then the windows system palette is used. The
system palette is further determined by the video driver used.
For instance if you are using a video driver that supports 256
colors than your system and all the software that uses the
system palette (barring any restrictions that the software or
hardware may have) will support 256 colors. This is important
because most of the software available uses the system
palette. True color 24 bit graphic files do not contain a
palette and therefore always use the windows system palette.
When you are in the 256 color (8 bit) mode bear in mind that
there can be only one hardware palette active at a time. Image
Plus gets around this by using a pseudo (fixed) 24 bit palette
when you are using the "multi screen" option and an 8 bit video
driver. If you choose a video driver above 8 bits the
individual image palette will be used. Since the pseudo
palette cannot exactly match every image palette it is
recommended that you use a video driver above 8 bits when
manipulating the image palette.
Bear in mind that display hardware and software from one
company may be drastically different from another. A graphics
accelerator is highly recommended when using a color setting of
(8 bits) 256 colors or higher. It is also prudent to select a
setting higher than 8 bits when using/viewing graphic files
above 8 bits.
Image Plus supports all the popular raster file images such
as bmp, pcx, gif, dib, rle, dcx, eps, jpg, pct, tga, wmf, tif
And wpg. You may also convert formats using the "Save As" menu
option.
Image Plus provides "TWAIN" support for scanning.
The Laplacian property provides a Sobel Image processing
function to sharpen an image. This is a matrix operation that
works with 8 and 24 bit images.
The Dialation property provides a Sobel Image processing
function to increase the size of image features in an image.
This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.
The RobertsCross property provides a Sobel Image processing
function to find edges in an image using the Roberts method.
This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.
The EdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image processing
function to enhance all lines in an image. This is a matrix
operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.
The HorzEdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image processing
function to enhance all horizontal lines in an image. This is
a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.
The VertEdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image processing
function to enhance all vertical lines in an image. This is a
matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.
The Pos45EdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image
processing function to enhance all 45 degree lines in an
image. This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit
images.
The Neg45EdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image
processing function to enhance all -45 degree lines in an
image. This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit
images.
Halftone is used to convert color images to monochrome (black
& white) using a halftone dithering technique.
Image Plus setup places the following files in the
Windows\System directory if you uninstall copy these files to a
disk and delete them from your hard drive.
THREED.VBX
CMDIALOG.VBX
VBRUN300.DLL
MSOLE2.VBX
MSOLEVBX.DLL
ACCUVB16.VBX
IPLUS.INI (Windows Directory)
Image Plus supports OLE2 using (MDI) multiple document
interface allowing you to open several objects on one screen
regardless of format. You may toggle the objects to the
clipboard as needed or edit them with a click of the right
mouse button without creating another file. You may also save
frequently used OLE2 objects as a Image Plus File (*.ipf). Note
you must have SHARE.EXE added to the autoexec.bat file to use
OLE2.
If you have applications that support OLE (most apps
support OLE1) and OLE is not working correctly than you need to
re-register your apps in the registration data base. To do
this rename your "reg.dat" file in the windows directory, exit
windows and restart, your apps are now re-registered for OLE1.
For OLE2 registration make sure that file extension (.reg) is
associated with regedit.exe. You can check this by selecting
associate under the file menu in File Manager and type (reg)
in the extension box. You should see regedit.exe as the
association. If you don't then you must make the association
before continuing. With reg in the extension box choose
browse, in the windows directory select regedit.exe and press
OK. Check the association before continuing.
If you have applications that support OLE2 and your OLE is
not working correctly than your registration data base is
probably corrupt, this is not uncommon when installing OLE2
apps. To correct this follow the procedure above for OLE1 then
using the "RUN" command type "REGEDIT" you will see the apps
that are registered. Delete the empty lines (if any) and all
your OLE2 apps (such as Corel4, Visio 2.0 etc.), make sure that
you delete OLE2 apps only. In your windows\system directory
locate the file "OLE2.REG" and double click it, you should now
see a dialog box indicating that OLE2 is successfully
registered. You need to execute all of your OLE2 apps to
complete registration. I strongly recommend that you execute
all your OLE2 apps before leaving windows.
