Pixed - PIXel EDitor v1.5 copyright (C) 1994 Matias Nyrell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
------------
Pixed is a SHAREWARE software which means that you can copy it and give
it away FREE to all your friends as long as you DON'T modify it or
DON'T leave parts of it away(this DOC-file for an example). If you are
going to use this program regular or more than a month YOU HAVE TO
REGISTER, send 20 SEK(Sweden), £3(UK), or $4(US) to:
Matias Nyrell
Mossgatan 11
S - 331 52 Värnamo
SWEDEN
When you register I send you(if you add a 3.5" disk and handling charge)
the latest version of Pixed and some other PD/SW software. I am working
on a SCREen EDITor - Screedit where you can edit the whole screen in
order to make a nice background to use in other programs, if I have a
ready version when I get your registering money(and if you have added a
3.5" disk and handling charge) I'll send you an unregistred copy of it.
If you've got any problems, questions, suggestions or if you've found a
bug in the program then I want you to write a letter to me, I'd be very
happy if you write in english or swedish.
Technical information
---------------------
Pixed v1.5 supports
* EGA - 640*350*16
* VGA - 640*400*256
* VGA - 640*480*256
How to get started
------------------
The first thing you should do, is to copy the ZIP file(PIX.ZIP)
over to your harddrive or wherever you want to install it.
Ex. copy a:\pix.zip c:\SUB\*.*
"SUB" is the subdirectory where you want the program. You create
it by typing:
Ex. md SUB
The next thing you have to do is to unpack it with "PKUNZIP".
Ex. pkunzip c:\SUB\pix.zip
When you have done this, Pixed is ready to run. Move to the
place where you put Pixed...
Ex. cd SUB
... and type 'pixed' to start. Pixed ask you wich graphic mode
it should use. Press 'A', 'B' or 'C' to choose the mode that you
prefer to use.
The menu
--------
The menu are as follow:
LOAD PICTURE
SAVE PICTURE
CLEAR PICTURE
EDIT PICTURE
CHANGE PICTURE SIZE
EXIT
To move around in the menu, use the up-arrowkey(8) and down-arrowkey
(2), to choose an item just move to it and press 'enter'.
LOAD PICTURE - Loads a saved picture from disk. The picture must
be in the same directory as you run Pixed from. If
there is any problem please check your spelling.
SAVE PICTURE - Saves the picture on active disk in active directory.
The file name may not be larger than eight letters.
CLEAR PICTURE - Clears screen. N.B. If the picture not was saved
before you used this option it's lost forever.
EDIT PICTURE - When you choose this option a cursor starts to blink
on the editpart of the screen. Move the cursor around
with the arrowkeys and light a pixel with active color
by pressing 'space'.
To Change color press + and -.
If you press F1 the color number de- or increases by 1.
If you press F2 the color number de- or increases by 5.
If you press F3 the color number de- or increases by 10
The F4 key activate "auto drawing", which means that
you don't need to press 'space' every time you want to
light a pixel, the only thing you need to do is to
move the cursor around. To deactivate 'auto drawing'
just press F4 again.
CHANGE
PICTURE SIZE - This option lets you change the size on the picture.
The maximal size is 30*30 pixel, and the minimum size
is 1*1(wonder if anyone's going to use this one?).
NOTE!!! When you are going to change the
picture size below ten(10) you must
write the number with a zero before it.
ex. 01, 04, 09, 06
NOT 1, 4, 9, 06
I realy apologize for this bug and i
promise to correct this in the next
version(I didn't have time to fix it
this time).
EXIT - Exit to DOS(what did you thought?).
How to use pictures in programs
-------------------------------
Well the first thing that you should know about is how Pixed saves
a picture file(PIC). This is very simple, just take a look at this
example(a happy face, the same as FACE.PIC):
8 (The length of the horizontal side, X)
8 (The length of the vertical side, Y)
0 (The color of first pixel(X=0, Y=0)
14 (The color of pixel(1, 0))
14 (The color of pixel(2, 0))
14 (The color of pixel(3, 0))
14 (The color of pixel(4, 0))
14 (The color of pixel(5, 0))
14 (The color of pixel(6, 0))
0 (The color of pixel(7, 0))
14 (The color of pixel(0, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(1, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(2, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(3, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(4, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(5, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(6, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(7, 1))
14 (The color of pixel(0, 2))
7 (The color of pixel(1, 2))
7 (The color of pixel(2, 2))
14 (The color of pixel(3, 2))
14 (The color of pixel(4, 2))
7 (The color of pixel(5, 2))
7 (The color of pixel(6, 2))
14 (The color of pixel(7, 2))
14 (The color of pixel(0, 3))
7 (The color of pixel(1, 3))
9 (The color of pixel(2, 3))
14 (The color of pixel(3, 3))
14 (The color of pixel(4, 3))
9 (The color of pixel(5, 3))
7 (The color of pixel(6, 3))
14 (The color of pixel(7, 3))
14 (The color of pixel(0, 4))
14 (The color of pixel(1, 4))
14 (The color of pixel(2, 4))
14 (The color of pixel(3, 4))
14 (The color of pixel(4, 4))
14 (The color of pixel(5, 4))

The first digit is the length of the horizontal side, the X side.
The second digit is the length of the vertical side, the Y side.
The other digits is color numbers beginning at the upper left going
to the right(as a book). If you want more detailed info take a look
att the DEMO01.PAS file, it's a Turbo pascal source file but there
are a lot of comments in it so it shouldn't be to hard to understand
for everyone.
Outroduction
------------
Pixed v1.5 was written in Turbo Pascal 6.0 from Borland International,
and I really recommend this language to everyone.
At last I want to remind you to register if you are using my
program(PLEASE!!!), see the 'Introduction' for further information.
