- - INTRODUCTION
- _________________________
-
- Welcome to RoboMorph, another fine product from ZonkSoft. RoboMorph
- converts *.GIF files into *.RBO. At the moment, RoboMorph only
- supports *.GIF files. Future releases will include:
-
- - PCX support
- - The ability to change from *.RBO to GIF
- - More Scaleing Features
- - Support for RoboBoard 2.0
- - Better Palette Conversion
-
-
-
- -SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- _________________________
-
- In order to run RoboMorph, your system must have the following
- hardware:
-
- - A computer
- - A keyboard
- - VGA card
- - DOS
-
-
-
-
-
-

- - USING RoboMorph
- _________________________
-
- To use RoboMorph, place any *.GIF file into your RoboMorph
- directory and type:
-
- RBOMORPH filename [options]
-
- Where filename is the name of the name of the *.GIF file with no
- extention. RBOMORPH will create a file with the same name as you gif file
- but with a .RBO extention as well as multiple *.ICO files if necisary.
- Copy this file into your RoboBoard graphics directory (C:\ROBOBBS\GRAPHIC).
- ************ Note: The GIF file must be in GIF87a format!! ************
-
- Where options is one or more of the option characters in any order.
- The option characters are as follows:
-
- X 0 - Convert a 320 X 200 256 color image.
-
- 1 - Convert a 640 X 480 16 color image.
-
- 2 - Convert a 640 X 480 2 color image. (I haven't seen any 2 color
- GIFs around, but if I don't put it in, someone will find one.)
-
- N - No palette conversion. In 256 color mode, this uses the
- attribute of a given pixel divided by 16 instead of asking you
- to map out colors. (See COLOR MAPPER below.) This gives the
- effect that someone on cocaine was playing with pencil crayons.
-
- * G - Convert palette to grey-scale. Useful for all you lazy people
- who son't want to map out colors.
-
- * S - Scale. Reads every second pixel on the X + Y axis. Useful for
- creating images if you don't have very much space left on you
- hard drive, or if you just want a nice tiny picture.
-
- B - Backwards. This is the equivilent of rotating the image 180
- degrees.
-
-
- * - - loads x1, y1, x2 and y2 from CORDINAT.RMF file where x1, y1,
- x2, and y2 are co-ordinates. x1 and y1 are the
- upper left hand corner of a rectangle, and x2, y2 is the lower
- right hand corner. This is the area to be scaned. x2 - x1 must
- be equal to a multiple of 30. If it isn't, then RoboMorph will
- find the next multiple of 30 it can find. The same applys for
- y2 - y1 except that, if you are using the Scale feature, then
- this must be a multiple of 60. NOTE: To create the CORDINAT.RMF
- file use the program RMCOR.EXE.
-
- * = Registered Users ONLY
- X = Default Choice
-
- Please note that if you are not using the N or G options then you
- will have to convert the entire pallette by hand. Two bars of color will be
- displayed on the screen. Using the < and > keys, try to get these two
- colors to match (or at least as close to a match as possible).
-
