- SCALE v1.0
-
- Scales TGA files
-
- This is a little program I developed while working with graphics files which were somewhat
- bigger in size then normal.
-
- The program will take an TGA picture and scale it by the given factor and write the resulting
- TGA file. Sounds simple. It is. But that can be done in any graphics program you say. You are
- right, but have you tried that with files of lets say more than 50 MB. Then most graphics programs
- need more then twice the size of the picture in memory and which normal system has that.
-
- This program just needs a small amount of memory because it simply reads the TGA file and writes
- out the resulting points. No keeping of large pieces in memory. It also can be used in a batch file
- to manipulate multiple files.
-
- To generate the example file: scale lion.tga lion2.tga 2
-
- This will scale the source image by the factor 2
-
- Requirements: The executable program requires at least a 386 cpu with OS/2.
