- DrawPlugin
- ==========
- Version 1.02 (27 Aug 1998)
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- This is the most rudimentary and simple plugin it is possible to write
- without only displaying a window (the test program I wrote) or launching
- another program (IRCLinks). It was written because I wanted a way to have a
- gallery on my web page of clipart that I and my brother had put together.
- The library used is also very rudimentary. Until I get time to work on it,
- it will remain that way.
-
-
- Usage
- -----
- To use the plugin, you will have to make one change to your MimeMap file, and
- then *RMreinit the MimeMap module (for it to work this session). Add the line:
-
- --8<--------
- application/drawfile Drawfile AFF .draw
- --8<--------
-
- to the MimeMap file.
-
- Subsequently all drawfiles in <object> tags will appear correctly on web pages.
-
- When no image is available, the area will be shown as a crosshatch. This will
- be black if the image is fetching, blue if the image was stopped, and red if
- the image failed.
-
-
- Updates
- -------
- This program may (or may not) be updated periodically. By clicking on the
- infobox window entries for Author and Version you can move directly to the
- web pages for the Justin Fletcher and this application respectively.
-
-
- Help and message files
- ----------------------
- This application is fully !Help compliant and it is recommended that when
- getting to grips with it the help should be used if only to give it some
- purpose! It also supports the use of MessageTrans and therefore translation
- to another language or changing the messages for the fun of it is much easier
- than it might have been.
-
-
- JFShared library
- ----------------
- This application requires Justin Fletcher's JFShared library to function.
- This can be obtained from Arcade and possibly other bulletin boards. A
- version is currently being carried by Hensa, but for the latest version you
- would be best off looking at Justin's web page (see below), or contacting him
- by one of the other means below.
-
-
- Compatibility
- -------------
- This application has been tested on the author's RPC, but due to the lack
- of friends with Acorns has not been tested on other systems. Therefore, it
- ought to work on any RO3.6 machine. It is likely that it may work on RO3.1,
- RO3.5, and RO3.7.

- History
- -------
- Version 1.00 : 26 Aug 1998
- First version written. Not bad for a few hours work, if I do
- say so myself. Now I've got to go and watch cheers.
-
- Version 1.01 : 26 Aug 1998
- Now doesn't have window borders, takes on the colour of its
- parent, and takes two parameters (gap in pixels, and border
- as a flag). More stable when files fail to transfer and will
- now change the crosshatch (which is fixed) colour according
- to the state.
-
- Version 1.02 : 27 Aug 1998
- Redraw speed increased, and no-longer forces a redraw when
- it doesn't need to. Icon anti-aliased.
