-
- About_________________________________________________________________________
-
- Why another graphic viewer ? The programs I know (e.g. Mostra, VT, etc.) do
- not work with graphic cards. The special programs like VT_EGS do not work
- satisfactory for me. So DTview was born.
-
-
- Installation__________________________________________________________________
-
- DTview requires OS3.0 or later. No other libraries are needed. Copy DTview
- whereever you like.
-
-
- Syntax________________________________________________________________________
-
- As I am a shell user, DTview has only few ToolTypes but command options.
- Normally DTview trys to open a screen like the Workbench. There are _no_ error
- messages. So if the file or the display cannot be opened simply the nothing
- happens.
-
- Usage: DTview {[<options>] <picture>}
-
- options: "ID" uses the with the picture saved display mode
- "WINDOW" displays the picture in a window on the workbench
- "SCREENMODE <displayID>" forces the given display mode
- "COM <command string>" executes the given command when RETURN is
- pressed while displaying the picture. This is
- useful e.g. for deleting ugly pictures.
- A "%s" in the command string is replaced with
- the path and name of the picture.
- "SAVE" saves the picture in ILBM format with the extension ".iff" in
- the same directory under the same name !
- The picture is not displayed.
- "SAVEAS <path and name>" saves the picture in ILBM format in the
- given path under the given name.
-
-
-
- Examples: DTview DH0:Pictures/IntelOutside.iff
- ...shows the picture with the display mode of the active screen
-
- DTview DH0:Pictures/IntelOutside.iff DH0:Graphic/pics/test.gif
- ...shows the pictures with the display mode of the active screen
-
- DTview ID DH0:Pictures/IntelOutside.iff
- ...shows the picture with its saved display mode
-
- DTview DH0:Pictures/IntelOutside.iff ID DH0:Graphic/pics/test.gif
- ...shows the first with the same display mode as the active screen
- and the second picture with its saved display mode
-
- DTview SCREENMODE 67112961 DH0:Pictures/IntelOutside.iff
- ...shows the picture with the given display mode
-
- DTview SAVE DH0:Clipart/Animal.pcx
- ...only saves the picture as "DH0:Clipart/Animal.iff"
-
- DTview SAVEAS "DH0:Clips/new/Animal.iff" DH0:Clipart/Animal.pcx
- ...only saves the picture as "DH0:Clips/new/Animal.iff"
-
- DTview COM "C:Delete %s" DH0:Pictures/IntelOutside.iff
- ...shows the pictures and deletes it when RETURN is pressed
-
- If you run DTview without any parameters or simple double click on its icon,
- a file requester opens, where can select multiple files to view.
-
- The following tooltypes are possible:
- PICTUREID same as ID from shell
- SCREENTOBACK puts the screen to back before closing
-
-
- Keys__________________________________________________________________________
-
- While displaying a picture the following keys are available:
-
- ESC terminates
- RETURN executes the command string
- s opens a requester for the file name to save the picture
- w saves the picture with the extension ".iff"
-
-
- Notes_________________________________________________________________________
-
- The program was tested on an A3000, Piccolo graphic card and with the ILBM,
- GIF, JPEG, JFIF, PCX and BMP datatype.
