Short: optimize icons for size/speed, gen. C code
Type: util/wb
Uploader: ferber@rpksun2.mach.uni-karlsruhe.de (Tobias Ferber)
Author: ukjg@rzstud1.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Tobias Ferber)
Replaces: OptIcon-1.5.lha
This package includes OptIcon version 1.8 and Icon2C version 1.3.
OptIcon optimizes Workbench icon files for size and speed. I.e. planes
which are entirely 0 or 1 are modified to use the Image's PlanePick and
PlaneOnOff fields, trailing 0-planes are removed.
OPTICON ALLOWS YOU TO LIMIT THE # OF BITPLANES IN ICON FILES. YOU MAY
NEED THIS TO CUT OFF ALL BUT THE FIRST <n> PLANES OF THE IMAGES BECAUSE
OF THE PROBLEM WITH COMMODORE'S ICON EDITOR WHICH ALWAYS WRITES 8 BITPLANE
IMAGES !!!
This speeds up Martin Huttenloher's MagicWB icons by a factor of 2-3 !!
A scriptfile to patch a complete directory tree's icon files is included
in this archive.
THIS VERSION OF OPTICON NOW ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO EXPAND YOUR 8 OR MORE COLOR
ICONS FOR THE USE ON A 16 OR MORE COLOR WORKBENCH.
This is important due to the new color system under OS3.x which always
shifts the second 4 colors to the end of the system palette. Therefore
you might want to adapt an icon's color depth to the actual screenmode
it is used on.
Icon2C generates a highly documented and directly compilable C sourcecode
from an icon image. If compiled w/ -DTEST option an executable will be
generated which writes back the original icon to disk.
This allows you to modify an icon in detail for your own needs.
