Short: Visual Eng. - README and understand...
Author: marko.seppanen@wwnet.fi (Marko Seppänen)

Type: gfx/edit
INFO & REQUIREMENTS
Visual Engineering is collection of graphics related Arexx-scripts
for Image Engineer. Image Engineer is very fast and a bug free
image manipulation software, which uses BGUI for it's user
interface. Image Engineer needs SuperView II -libraries for
loading and saving different kinds of pictureformats. Image
Engineer and SuperView II both are very fast to install, so why
not giving a try?

Make sure you have RX-command in Sys:Rexxc/
In normal WorkBench-install it should be there.
My scripts usually use some external file, like convolves,
palettes, brushes, alphas... those are stored to
VE-Extras.lha
If you allready had version SviewII, then make sure you have
gif-object for it (Libs:svobjects/GIF.svobject). If not, you need
ILBM-versions of files in IE:Alpha/
VE-Alpha.lha
WORD ABOUT INSTALLATION & STARTUP
All script archives create two dirs; Notes and Arexx. In Notes-dir
there might be important information related to this script and
Arexx-dir is the place for script itself. This way you can always
extract my scripts straight to IE's dir and Notes' wouldn't be
deleted after one read.
When Image Engineer is up and running, then first thing you should
do is to select "Arexx Window" from Project-menu. Then you can
easily launch all scripts. Later you should assign some hotkeys.
To make things more confortable to use, every adjustment is saved
to a configfile. They are stored in IE:Prefs/
For example Visual Anim's main window-config is saved to file
called "visualanim.cfg" and animeffect Ripple's window settings
are stored to "visualanimripple.cfg". Gaussian Edge -script for
example saves it's settings to "vegaussianedge.cfg". Understood?
Good. Just wanted say this, because in the beginning I changed the
order of buttons, cyclemenus, checkboxes... till I found the well
working GUI. So, if there is any problems with some script, then
you should try to delete configfile of script and try again.
SO, WHAT ACTUALLY ARE THESE?
I started to develop these scripts, because I needed them myself.
They have helped my life a lot while creating webpage graphics.
Logos, textures, some cool effects for still pictures, rippling
water gifanims... No problem! Takes only couple of seconds using
my GUI-controlled scripts. You are going to love these! And by the
way.. no other software on Amiga-platform lets you output such a
beautiful pixels out of your mind with so little pain. Well, as I
said.. In the beginning I made them for myself, but seems like
others too are in need of these, so I made them to be as easy as
it can be to use, for anyone..
