Persistence of Vision Quantiser Utilities version 1.6
=====================================================
SOURCE CODE (PVQUAN16.ZIP)
===========================
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This archive contains the source code for a set of programs to convert
image files produced by DKB-Trace or the Persistence of Vision raytracer
into a format suitable for display on a VGA screen, or to GIF format. It
includes programs to generate a single stereoscopic 3D image from two
views of a scene, as well as programs to produce animation from multiple
ray-traced images.
QUANT (HECKBERT & OCTREE):
Colour quantisation program which post-processes raw image files
produced by the Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (PoV Ray). Two
versions can be compiled: one uses Heckbert's median-splitting
algorithm, whereas the other uses Octree quantisation.
DISPLAY:
Displays either 320x400 or 320x200 images on a VGA screen, either 2D,
or stereo 3D. 3D images require Sega 3D-glasses to be connected to the
serial port for viewing.
ANIMDAT:
Reads an animation source file (*.VAR), and uses it to generate data
files for the PoV ray tracer.
ANIMFLI:
Produces a .FLI file containing a series of images to be displayed by
a .FLI player (e.g. Autodesk's AAPLAY).
PVQUAN16.ZIP Archive contents
=============================
This archive contains subdirectory information... unzip it using
PKUNZIP -d PVQUAN16
It will create a subdirectory tree in your current directory as follows:
pvquan ─┐ Sample files
├─ quant Heckbert and Octree quantisers
├─ animdat Animation Scene file generator
├─ giflib GIF encode/decode library
├─ flilib FLI creation library
├─ anim FLI creation source code
├─ vga VGA mode-X library
└─ display VGA 3D display
Each directory contains source code, plus make-files to produce
executable programs via MS-DOS, OS/2, or Unix.
You may also wish to create a BIN directory off the PVQUAN directory...
the sample make-files attempt to place executable programs there.
To create your own executables:
1. In each directory, rename the appropriate version of the
makefile to MAKEFILE (e.g. REN MAKEDOS MAKEFILE if compiling for
DOS).
Because both quantisers use common code, they are contained in
the same directory. This causes some problems in terms of naming
the makefiles.
In MS-DOS, rename MAKEDOS.HEC to MAKEFILE to produce HECKBERT.EXE
rename MAKEDOS.OCT to MAKEFILE to produce OCTREE.EXE
In OS/2, rename MAKEFILE.OCT to MAKEFILE to produce OCTREE.EXE
rename MAKEHEC.DEP to MAKEFILE.DEP to produce HECKBERT.EXE
In Unix, rename MAKEUNIX.HEC to MAKEFILE to produce HECKBERT
rename MAKEUNIX.OCT to MAKEFILE to produce OCTREE
2. Edit each makefile to include the correct path to your compiler,
linker, executable location, etc.
In MS-DOS, all source files compile and link cleanly (no
warnings, no errors) using Turbo C++ v1.0. Other versions of
Turbo-C should also work. Some editing will be required for
other compilers.
In OS/2, all source files compile and link cleanly (no warnings,
no errors) using IBM's C Set/2 v1.0. Some editing will be
required for other compilers.
In Unix, all source files compile and link cleanly (no warnings,
no errors) using GNU's gcc on a Sun IPC SPARCstation. The
previous version compiled cleanly under SCO's cc compiler on a
486 PC, but this version hasn't been tested with that. Some
editing will be required for other compilers.
3. Create FLI, GIF, and VGA libraries via MAKE. N.B. The OS/2
version does not use libraries. Instead the .OBJ files are
linked in directly.
4. Create executable programs via MAKE.
