- Short: Gfx converter, ANIM and AGA support.
- Author: mortene@idt.unit.no
- Uploader: mortene@idt.unit.no
- Type: gfx/conv
-
- PicCon is an image converter mainly aimed at programmers. It runs on any
- Amiga with OS 2.04 (or later). This program is a 'must' for developers
- that need to work with graphics in any sort of RAW format. PicCon also
- includes support for loading and saving workbench icons and ditto for
- system fontsets, thereby also making it a valuable tool for graphicians.
-
- Strong points:
-
- o ANIM support!
- o supports datatypes.library (if present)
- o many _very_ handy image processing functions
- o some examples in both assembler and C included
- o very customizable
- o _loads_ of in- and outputformats, both for images and palettes (see
- below)
- o can output data as pure binary, linkmodules, assembler, C, E or
- pascal source
- o systemfriendly (screenmoderequester available - runs on all monitors)
- o includes routines for saving grids (like in maptiles)
- o the uniq autoscan operation
- o can be run from the CLI
-
-
-
- Imageformats saveable:
-
- o Bitplanes, ordinary
- o Bitplanes, interleaved
- o Bitplanes, ordinary/interleaved with extra blitterwords
- at left, right or both sides
- o Blittermasks, for ordinary bitplanes or interleaved displays, with
- or without blitterwords
- o Inverted blittermasks (for CPU "blits")
- o Bitplanes saved as image structs (for system functions)
-
- o Chunky, ordinary byte-per-pixel (mode 13h)
- o Chunky, packed, n bits-per-pixel
- o Chunky, VGA mode X ("byteplanes")
- o Chunky, 12 bit truecolor (4 bits-per-gun, 4096 different colors),
- word-per-pixel (optional longwordalignment), with HAM-6 and HAM-8
- support/conversion
- o Chunky, 24 bit truecolor (8 bits-per-gun, 16777216 different colors),
- 3 bytes-per-pixel (R, G, B) (optional longwordalignment), with HAM-6 and
- HAM-8 support/conversion
- o Chunkymodes can also be transposed and/or rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees
-
- o Sprites, 16 pixels wide (OCS/ECS/AGA), with or without controlwords,
- attached (16 colors) or in monomode (4 colors)
- o Sprites, 32 or 64 pixels wide (AGA), with or without controlwords,
- attached (16 colors) or in monomode (4 colors)
-
- o Amiga Workbench icons, all sizes and depths, all icon- and gadgettypes
- supported
-
- o Amiga fontsets, nonproportional and monocolored
-
- o IFF ILBM
-
- o Super Nintendo/Famicom 2-bit, 4-bit or 8-bit charactersets with selective
- high/low bytes, optional character- and characterposition compression with
- optional positiondata output
- o Super Nintendo/Famicom chunky characters and optional chunkyscreens
- for MODE 7
-
- o Sega Megadrive/Genesis charactersets with optional screendata output and
- charactercompression
-
-
-
- Imageformats loadable:

- o everything you've got datatypes support for (OS 3.0+)
- o All bitplane formats
- o Ordinary and bitpacked chunky
- o All spriteformats
- o All iconformats
- o Nonproportional, monocolored fontsets
-
-
-
- Paletteformats saveable:
-
- o 12 bits, 4 bits-per-gun (word per palettentry)
- o 24 bits, 8 bits-per-gun (longword per palettentry)
- o 12 bits OCS/ECS/AGA copperlists
- o 24 bits AGA copperlists
- o 32 bits-per-gun (3 longwords per palettentry)
- o Arrays for the LoadRGB4 graphics.library function
- o Arrays for the LoadRGB32 graphics.library function
- o IFF ILBM (loadable and saveable by paint packages)
- o Super Nintendo/Famicom 5 bits-per-gun
- o Sega Megadrive/Genesis 3 bits-per-gun
- o VGA 6 bits-per-gun
-
-
- Paletteformats loadable:
-
- o All formats that are saveable are also loadable (including copperlists
- and LoadRGB arrays)
