Documentation of jpeg.datatype 46.1
-----------------------------------
Introduction
------------
With the help of the jpeg.datatype, your datatype sytem is able to read JPEG images.
This datatype is freeware and can be used for any purpose.
Minumum requirements for jpeg.datatype
--------------------------------------
* OS 3.5
Additionally recommened
-----------------------
* CyberGraphX with picture.datatype V43 for 24-bit images.
Minumum requirements for JPEGPrefs
----------------------------------
* OS 3.5
* MUI 3.8
Installation
------------
Simply click on the 'Install' script.
Preferences
-----------
DCT Methods:
Choose one of the DCT methods for de/encoding.
-> Slow Integer: medium speed, good quality (default, 0)
-> Fast Integer: fast speed but low quality (1)
-> Floating Point: slowest but high quality (2).
Scale:
Picture sizes can be scaled for output:
-> 1:1 Leave size untouched (default, 0)
-> 1:2 Half the size (1).
-> 1:4 One forth the size (2).
-> 1:8 One eighth the size (3).
Quality:
Defines the compression quality. Ranges from 1 to 100.
Useful values are between 60 and 90, depending on the picture.
Low values produce short files but worse quality, higher values longer files with
good quality.
The default is 75.
Smoothing:
Value of color smoothing during compression. Ranges from 0 to 100.
Default is 0 (no smoothing).
Gray Mode:
Images are stored as 256 color grayscales pictures.
Default is OFF, save in 24 Bit color mode.
Progressive Mode:
Store the image in progressive mode.
Default is OFF.
Currently I only support MUI for the preferences.
If you don't have MUI, you also can adjust the preferences very easy.
The ENV-variable 'DataTypes/jpeg.prefs' contains the parameter as a DOS-argument
with the template
'DCT/A/N,SCALE/A/N,QUALITY/A/N,SMOOTH/A/N,GRAY/S,PROGRESSIVE/S'.
You can change the settings anytime either by using the 'SetEnv'-command or by
using a text editor.
A GadTools version of the preferences may follow in the near future.
