BIT -- Bitmap Image Touchup ($Revision: 0.91 $)
Thank you for acquiring a copy of the BIT program for the IRIS.
Any feedbacks from using this program will be appreciated.
If you have not already registered, please fill out the registration
form in the top directory and email it to me at zhao@bragg.phys.uwm.edu
If you or your company/institution is looking to hire a software
engineer to do large-scale scientific computation, simulation
and visualizations, please send me a note about it. If you can
pass my resume around, that would be even better. Although
scientific computation and visualization are preferred, I am
also interested in commercial software develpement in general.
Happy viewing and editing.
INSTALLATION
------------
Edit Makefile for destination directories and then type make.
BIT should compile "out of the box" on machines running
IRIX 3.3 or later (may have a couple of harmless warnings on 5.x.x).
Since I have never actually compiled bit personally on any machines
running IRIX later than 3.3, your feedback on compilation problems
will be mostly appreciated. Note you need at least 7 Mbytes of hard disk to
make bit.
After making BIT, you might want to make djpeg/cjpeg if you do
not already have them. cd jpeg and make will give you djpeg/cjpeg,
which are very useful programs themselves.
In src/mpeg, type make sgimpeg to get the stand alone mpeg player,
which has pause and magnification features, also faster than
the original Berkeley X program mpeg_play.
When reporting bugs, please identify bit version using bit -v.
Also hinv and ginv information.
If you would like to have Bit send me a brief message when it detects
segmentation faults or other critical errors, plase define
MAIL_AUTHOR in the Makefile.
Further Info
