- Fast datatype for displaying GIF files.
- .description
- A very fast GIF Datatype
-
- Main features:
-
- o SPEED. Try it, after using this you wont want to be without it!
- o Supports most gifs (only some esoteric, and mostly unused features
- of the GIF8?a standard have been ignored)
- o Uses async file reading for greater performance - on an A1200 will
- load a picture the same speed off of floppy as off of hard drive!
- o 100% Assembly language, very optimised.
- o Custom chunky to planar conversion, that is reasonably fast
- (a version using WritePixelLine8() runs about 50% the speed of
- this version)
- o Now works with all 68000 series CPU's (i hope)
- o Its FREE! (this is of course the best bit)
-
-
- Main limitations: (hey, its not _perfect_ after all)
-
- o OM_WRITE BOOPSI method not yet implemented. Expect this in a future
- release.
- o Only decodes pictures with a global colour table. Most gif loaders
- do the same, and most writers write them.
- o Ignores any local colour tables (but still decodes picture). Could
- lead to a bad palette.
