WHILE VIEWING AN IMAGE..........................
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too many keyboard funtions....With version 1.1 you can move the mouse
cusor to the top of the screen while viewing an image and hold down the
mouse button to access a menu bar with pull-down windows of all the
options.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

S-+-D of the keys. Moves one pixel, use with shift key down to move
X 20 pixels.
F1/F2 Red level. F7/F8 Contrast. Use Shift/left function
F3/F4 Green level. F9/F10 Brightness. key to restore to
F5/F6 Blue level. ","/"." Color level. original value.
Available command line or .CFG options are as follows:
/!<n> Enables/disables beep after display of image (0-1).
/A<n> Default antialiasing level, 0, 1, or 2..
/B<n> Sets mode of mouse cursor. 0 = text, 1 = arrow.
/C<n> Specifies number of DAC register bits (0 to 8).
/D<n> Default dithering level. 0, 1, or 2.
/E<n> Sets image/screen fit mode (0=normal, 1=fit to screen)
/F#### /F1??? Display file extension (default=0)
/F?1?? Display image resolution (default=0)
/F??1? Display number of bits per pixel (default=0)
/F???1 Display file size (default=1)
/G<mode> Graphics mode for the display. /G320x200x16
/H or /? Display help screen with these switches listed and exit.
/I<n> "Early interlaced GIF fill mode" option. The default is ON (1).
/K<n> Determines if GIF89a comment records are automatically viewed
after viewing in single view mode. The default is ON (1).
/L<n> Sets the label on/off switch for array generation.
/N<template> Sets the "printf()" style template for filenames generated
by GDS when array files are written. GDS%03d = GDS000.GIF.
/O<n> Slide show sort flag /O0 = no sort (default), /O1 = sort.
/P<n> Automatic Array generation if n=5 then the array will be 5x5.
/Q<x>_<y>_path\filename.GIF Auto insertion of logo in arrays.
/R<n> Sets the default "LOck/AutO" mode (/R0=AutO, /R1=LOck).
/S<n> Specifies automatic slide show mode. See the "@<FILE>" option.
/T<mode> Text mode of the display. The default value is /T80x25.
/V<n> File directory mode (/V0=vertical, /V1=horizontal list).
/W<n> 1 = Auto write of generated arrays, default setting is OFF (0).
/X Leave last image on screen when exiting slide show.
/Z<n> n = number of 100ths of seconds to delay between slides.
The default value is 5 seconds (500).
/<NAME> Forces GDS to assume it has the named video card. USE WITH CARE.
The following video cards are currently defined:
/EGA Standard EGA or 100% compatible
/VGA Standard VGA or 100% compatible
/AHEAD Ahead Systems Chipset (type A)
/AHEADB Ahead Systems Chipset (type B)
/ATI ATI VGA Wonder
/CHIPS Chips and Technologies Chipsets
/EVEREX Everex Systems
/GENOA Genoa 6000 series
/OAK Oak Technologies
/ORCHID Orchid Technologies
/PARA Paradise Systems
/TRIDNT ATI Prism Elite (Trident Chipsets)
/TSENG Tseng Laboratories Chipset
/TSENG4 Tseng Laboratories Chipset (4000 series)
/VESA Standard VESA BIOS Interface
/VID7 Video Seven VRAM or FASTWRITE VGA
/ZYMOS Zymos HiRes 512K VGA
/512 Forces support for 512K of video RAM.
/1M Forces support for 1 meg of video RAM.
@<FILE> Reads a list of image files from <FILE>. Usually used for
automatic slide shows (see "/S").
The format of the video modes in the GDS.CFG file is as follows:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J ;optional comment
A) Name of the video card
B) Horizontal screen resolution (number of columns)
C) Vertical screen resolution (number of lines)
D) Number of bits per pixel (or 0 for text mode)
E) AX register on INT 21h call to set video mode (see I)
F) BX register on INT 21h call to set video mode (see I)
G) CX register on INT 21h call to set video mode (see I)
H) DX register on INT 21h call to set video mode (see I)
I) This option has one of three meanings:
1) 0 if video mode is a standard graphics mode
2) 1 if video mode is directly programmed (VGA register compatible
cards only!
3) The base address of the screen if the video mode is a text mode
(indicated by 0 bits per pixel).
J) Dot Mode (0=normal, 1=ATI 16-color chunky)
To specify automatic command line options, add lines to GDSUSER.CFG
similar to the following examples:
AUTO, /e1 /t132x44 ;Turn auto-fit on, set text to 132x44
AUTO, /g800x600x8 /f?111 ;set RES: to 800x600x8, res, bits, size in dir.
::WARNING:: The /vgatype and /512 commands will NOT work in the GDSUSER.CFG
file. They must be added to the BEGINNING of the GDS.CFG file as "AUTO,"
commands. Example....
AUTO, /PARA ;for Paradise board
AUTO, /512 ;for more than 256k of ram
NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW!
Demo version supports command line slide show options for users
that wish to use GDS to display images for their clients.
NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW!
Move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen while viewing an
image then hold down the mouse button to access the pull-down menus.
(gee, It looks like a game from Sierra!).
New "Logo" option in generated arrays........................
/Q<x>_<y>_path\filename.GIF Include logo in arrays
This option is intended for BBS sysops and other people who wish to
create catalogs of GIF files with an included logo, or other bitmapped
image included. The way this options works is not intended to pacify the
typical users' simplicity level or learning disabilities. Or, to be
blunt, this function is damn hard to understand. However, if you stick
with the following formula, it doesn't have to be hard:
1) View an image using the single view mode of GDS. With the relevant
keyboard controls, get the image (or the part of the image that you need
to use) to look the way you want it.
2) Decide exactly where you want to put a rectangle around whatever it
is that you want to include into your arrays.
3) Press Alt-C. (clip the image)
4) Move the mouse pointer to the upper left of the rectangle you want
to save, and press (hold down) a mouse button.
5) While holding down the mouse button, drag the mouse so that it
points at the lower right of the rectangle you're interested in and
release the mouse button. (GDS should beep at you.)
6) Now press Alt-W to write the image, and when it's done, rename the
file to whatever you want (for this example, we'll use LOGO.GIF, and
assume you've created it in d:\gifs).
7) Get back to DOS, and to the directory of stuff you want to catalog.
8) Type the following command, replacing the <x> and <y> with the
screen coordinates at which you want your image to appear at (NOTE: you
can use the /g###x###x## parameter to force a specific video resolution):
gds /a2 /d1 /g640x480x8 /p5 /q<x>_<y>_d:\gifs\logo.gif /w
9) Now sit back and watch GDS crunch through all of the files. Note
that the "/a2" and "/d1" options are simply the antialiasing level (high)
and the dithering level (normal). You may also specify the list of files
to use for the array by adding files:
gds /a2 /d1 /g640x480x8 /p5 /q<x>_<y>_d:\gifs\logo.gif /w d:*.pcx
...or add them from files:
gds /g640x480x256 /p5 /q<x>_<y>_d:\gifs\logo.gif /w filelist.txt
...or...you may choose to have GDS automatically format your
hard drive randomly and without warning:
gds /g640x480x256 /p5 /q<x>_<y>_d:\gifs\logo.gif /w /nuke,hd:1
...or...you may want to see the built in dirty pictures in
GDS, all displayed nicely in red/blue 3-D:
gds /dirtypics /3d
...or...you may want to have your modem automatically dial
the author and bug him at all hours of the night for weeks:
gds /harass /auth /endless @pain_and.suf
...or...you may want to give use your Visa number and let
us charge up the things that keep us going:
gds /VISA####-####-####-#### /exp.##-## /pizza=1 /beer=1
The functions described before "/nuke" work, I'm not sure of anything
after that. -BobH-
