This package includes OptIcon, Icon2c and IconMaker.
OptIcon optimizes Workbench icon files for size and speed. I.e. planes
which are entirely 0 or 1 are modified to use the Image's PlanePick and
PlaneOnOff fields, trailing 0-planes are removed.
OPTICON ALLOWS YOU TO LIMIT THE # OF BITPLANES IN ICON FILES. YOU MAY
NEED THIS TO CUT OFF ALL BUT THE FIRST <n> PLANES OF THE IMAGES BECAUSE
OF THE PROBLEM WITH COMMODORE'S ICON EDITOR WHICH ALWAYS WRITES 8 BITPLANE
IMAGES !!!
This speeds up Martin Huttenloher's MagicWB icons by a factor of 2-3 !!
A scriptfile to patch a complete directory tree's icon files is included
in this archive.
THIS VERSION OF OPTICON NOW ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO EXPAND YOUR 8 OR MORE COLOR
ICONS FOR THE USE ON A 16 OR MORE COLOR WORKBENCH.
This is important due to the new color system under OS3.x which always
shifts the second 4 colors to the end of the system palette. Therefore
you might want to adapt an icon's color depth to the actual screenmode
it is used on.
Icon2c generates a highly documented and directly compilable C sourcecode
from an icon image. If compiled w/ -DTEST option an executable will be
generated which writes back the original icon to disk.
This allows you to modify an icon in detail for your own needs.
IconMaker creates icons from IFF/ILBM brushes. This allows an overview
of your brushes on the Workbench! (e.g. for DOpus5 brushes, Workbench
patterns, etc.)
