- I am currently in the process of writing a compound Document datatype.
- Even though I have the developer docs and tools, am finding it a
- up-hill struggle. Non bitmap datatypes are not documented very well...
-
- ANy help, suggestions or pointers are welcome..
-
- Datatypes under development include:
- HTML 3.0
- EPS
- Acrobat
- CMG
- WMF
- RTF (Rich Text Format ala Microsoft)
- Quicktime
- AVI
- MPEG (which uses an external mpeg.device so can be suplemented by HW).
- Cell (speadsheet)
- JPEG
-
- Along with a viewer which will work well with CyberGfx.
-
- I have all the underling code worked out and working for the the
- relevent file type as standalone on amiga. The problem is in propely
- implimenting them as datatypes (especially write as well as read). The
- Idea being you could use these datatypes to write as well as read (or
- convert).
-
- Please only answer if you can make usefull contributions and please
- (only as a courtsey) dont flood this thread. As I would like to spend
- more time programming then reading superfolous messages.
