- PicMerge v2.1

-
-
- This little program merges two same-sized BitMaps by using logical
- operators. All Amiga-Viewmodes are available, except of the HAM-
- and 8HAM-Mode. That means, you can work with pictures with up to
- 256 colors.
-
- The idea for this program was born as I was in trouble. How can I
- merge two animations (one on the left, one on the right) in one?
- So I done a simple hack to 'OR' the BitMaps. After adding a little
- GUI-Interface I decided to make PicMerge public.
-
- Usage:
- ------
-
- PicMerge can be controlled by mouse or keybord. Hopefully I leaned
- on Commodores Guide-Lines.
-
- o Source A [Amiga-A]
- Path and name of the first picture of source A
-
- o Source B [Amiga-B]
- Path and name of the first picture of source B
-
- o Dest [Amiga-D]
- Path and name of the first picture of destination
-
- !! WARNING !! ALL PICTURE-NAMES MUST HAVE 4 NUMBERS AT THE END.
- THIS WOULD NORMALLY BE NO PROBLEM, CAUSE MOST GRAPHIC-PROGRAMS DO
- THIS AUTOMATICALLY. FOR EXAMPLE: ram:test/picture.0001
-
- o Numbers [Amiga-N]
- Number of pictures to be worked on.
-
- o Identical [Amiga-I]
- If all picture are same sized, using this option would save
- a lot of time during work.
-
- o Operation [CR/Enter]
- Here is the logical function chosen, which will operate on
- the BitMaps. You can choose between:
-
- - OR
- - AND
- - NOR
- - NAND
- - EOR
- - EQL
-
- o Start [Amiga-S]
- Starts the operation.
-
- o Cancel [Amiga-C]
- Only available during operation and breaks this one.
-
- o Quit [Amiga-Q]
- Something to say here ?
- You can also use the Window-Close-Gadget or the ESC-Key.
-
- o Additional to this, you can find some interesting indicators.
- A percental and absolute progress-indicator and a dialog-
- window.
-
-
- Known Bugs:
- -----------
-
- - There's no format and size test at time. Misuse may cause a
- GURU ! Typically the merging pictures have the same size.
-
- - Non exact error-text by working on a file.
-
- - unknown (at time)
-
-
- Future:
- -------
-
- - Bug-killing
-
- - Preview-Window
-
- - If possible, using the Blitter for operation (With MC68040
- there's not so a big time-win)
-
- - Mask-Operations

- Author:

-
- This program is PublicDomain. My only wish is: everyone who uses
- PicMerge should write me an mail via E-Mail or Fido-Net, please.
- I'm very interested in knowing where in the world my program is
- used.

- Bug-Reports, suggestions, .... may send to this adresses, too.
- All, I got a message from, would be informed when I generate an
- update.

- Many thank go also to Nico Français (ReqTools.library) and Christian
- A. Weber (iff.library). Their libraries are included. For further
- informations about these have a look to the Aminet.
