- Another viewer. WTH!
- --------------------
-
- I bought a CyberVision last month and I wanted to see my favorite pictures
- on a True-Color screen. Unfortunately, all my viewer programs didn't work
- so good as they did on AGA. V has born.
-
- My goal was to reach the following:
-
- FREE.
- FAST.
- FRIENDLY.
- and answer the users wishes!
- and answer the users wishes!
-
- I can say they have been reached.

- V is a FAST picture viewer. It's able to display the following types:
-
- IFF ILBM (EHB,HAM6,HAM8,DHIRES,SHAM,DHAM,PCHG,CMYK,CLUT)
- GIF (87a,89a)
- JPEG (Normal,Adobe,Progressif).
- PCX (1,4,8,24 bits)
- TIFF (NONE,BLZW,RLE,PACKBITS,NEXT,THUNDER,LOGLUV)
- PNG (Normal,Progressive)
- QRT
- RAW (height,width,RGBRGB...)
- PhotoCD (with orientation)
- BMP (1,8,24 bits unpacked)
- TIM (4,8,16,24 bits)
- TARGA (8,16,24,32 bits) (NONE, RLE)
- PPM (3,6)
- PGM (2,5)
-
- V has been developped to be best used under a graphics card environnement
- but it can be used on AGA machines. It uses by default the workbench
- screen but is able to open its own screen with the argument:
-
- -SCREEN=[WIDTH]x[HEIGHT]x[DEPTH] (ex: -SCREEN=800x600x16).
- V has its private BestMode function to fit your wished screen.
-
- In case of a too big picture, V has not only the ability to scroll it using
- the gadgets. It can scroll the picture simply by clicking directly on it.
- (OPAQUE MOVE a la ArtEffect)
-
- V closes the window with the usual way and with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON too.
-
- V moves ALL the window contents with the MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON.
-
- If you are on a TRUE COLOR screen, you can correct the gamma using the +
- and - keys. (experimental)

- V is multiwindow. It means you can enter the following arguments:
-
- V DH3:mypics
- OR
-
- V DH3:mypics/
- OR
-
- V DH3:mypics/#?.tif
- OR
-
- V DH3:mypics/~(#?.jpg|#?.iff)
-
- Warning!! the amount of memory can getting low very fast. You'll perhaps
- have 'crashed' pictures, but as soon as you resize them, everything will
- become ok again.
-
- The -MAXWIN option limits the amount of pictures displayed at a time.
-
- Using V in a multi window mode enables the following possibilities with the
- keyboard:
-
- Q(Quit) Closes all the windows.
- C(Clear) Closes the already loaded pictures windows.
- K(Keep) Closes all the windows, but not the one that's selected.
- R(ReOrg) Reorgs the windows.
- L(List) Reorgs the windows too.
- D(Drop) Closes the active window.
-
- What V needs
- ------------
-
- A Kick 3.0 and a 68020.
- THAT'S ALL.
- A gfx card is welcome. A math processor too.
-
- What V won't do
- ---------------
-
- Using any ALIEN library. (superview, ixemul)
- Using datatypes.
-
- What V should do but can't
- --------------------------
-
- A PPC version is going to be done but I have MAJOR problems using my
- favorite C compiler. :( HELP WELCOME.
-
- What V will do
- --------------
- V will use a requester soon.
- Ideas welcome!
