-
- Visage is an IFF/GIF/JPeg/Datatypes viewer for the AmigaOS version 3.0 or
- higher. Main features include:
-
- Supports 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:
-

- colors) pictures.
-
- Misc minor fixes.
-
-
- News in version 39.2 include:
-
- Various speedups (dithering, chunky <-> planar conversion).
-
- Test mode.
-
- Color cycling (only "simple" as of yet).
-
- Can execute a command for each viewed picture.
-
- Lots of small bugfixes/improvements.
-
-
- News in version 39.3 include:
-
- Some bugs fixed.
-

-
- Some new small features.
-
-
- 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.
