Short: Picture viewer for OS 3.0+. V39.1
Author: cmh@augs.se (Magnus Holmgren)
Uploader: cmh@lls.se (Magnus Holmgren)
Type: gfx/show
Version: 39.1
Requires: OS 3.0
Visage is an IFF/GIF/JPeg/Datatypes viewer for the AmigaOS version 3.0 or
higher. Main features include:
· Support for AA (AGA), ECS, RTG, PCHG and SHAM. ;)
· Can display "deep" pictures in all formats on ECS Amigas, rendered in
HAM, "normal" color or grayscale (datatypes work differently).
· Can scale "rendered" pictures to fit the screen.
· Extensive monitor support. Uses a BestModeID()-like function to find a
suitable mode (if needed).
· Any native Amiga screen mode can be specified with text! No numbers
needed. But you can use numbers, if you so wish. Or a requester.
· Simple promotion of pictures to any installed monitor. No hardcoded
command line options for this. There is even a monitor requester! ;)
· Several slideshow options, including a random mode, making Visage ideal
for use with screen blankers as an external module.
· It's free!
News in version 39.1 include:
· Xpk code bugfixed/improved.
· Color rendering (nice for owners of gfx-cards).
· Two (optional) dither modes. Used for color and grayscale (16 colors)
pictures.
· Misc minor fixes.
Installation notes:
It is recommended to use the Installer, since it takes care of some
not-so-obvious details, regarding the JPEG reader (in Visage) and the
manual. If you wish to start the installer from the Shell, please use the
ShellInstall script included. It sets some parameters correctly.
Also, note that the automatic language selection doesn't completely work
with all versions of the Installer.
