I. Copyright Notice
The Stylus Demonstration Archive and all files contained in it
(except where noted below) are copyright © 1989-1995 by Stylus,
Inc. These files may not be distributed in any form other than
this archive.
II. About the Stylus Demo
The Stylus Demo demonstrates the programs included in the
Stylus Pro-Pak, a professional software bundle for graphic
artists. The Stylus Pro-Pak includes ProVector® 3, a major
update of Stylus, Inc.'s structured-drawing program;
StylusTracer(tm), an autotracing and image-processing utility;
PSImport(tm), a PostScript® import utility for ProVector; and
RexxRequest(tm), an ARexx command host for designing
Intuition(tm) requesters for ARexx macros.
The principal programs included in this demo are the following:
ProVector®
StylusTracer(tm)
RexxRequest(tm)
PSImport(tm) and the other import and export drivers from the
full release are not included in this archive.
The ProVector version provided, ProVectorDEMO, will run on
68000 equipped, stock Amiga computers with OS 2.1 or greater
and at least two megs of RAM; however it will sense the
presence of 68020 or greater CPU chips, and take advantage of
the extended instruction set of these chips for increased
performance.
The full ProVector package also includes a Motorola 68881
version for faster and more accurate math operations. The
greater math accuracy of the the '881 version permits page sizes
greater than 32 inches (up to over 15 x 15 miles), as well as
the ability to do exceptionally detailed work in high
magnifications.
For users who do not have a math coprocessor, a Fast Floating
Point (FFP) version is also included. This version will
provide math accuracy nearly as high as the '881 version, but
will not be as fast, since the floating point math is done in
software.
The full Stylus Pro-Pak also includes drivers to output
drawings as IFF-DR2D, Preferences, PostScript® (including
Encapsulated PostScript and Color Separations), IFF-ILBM
(including 24-bit-color, anti-aliased, super-bitmaps), Adobe
Illustrator(tm) and HP-GL compatible devices. There is a
special HPGL_Tile driver that will support the maximum page
size of virtually all HP-GL compatible devices, as well as
tiling for pages larger than the device's maximum. This driver
is particularly useful in sign-cutting applications.
The Stylus Pro-Pak also includes PSImport, a full PostScript
interpreter for importing, viewing, and editing any PostScript
graphic into ProVector. HPGLImport provides similar
capabilities for HP-GL graphic files.
Certain features of ProVector are necessarily disabled in the
demo version. The disabled features include all saving and
printing operations, and clipboard cutting and copying.
Disabled features are indicated by ghosting in the menus. The
corresponding ARexx(tm) commands are also disabled. The ARexx
interface to ProVector is also limited to operating on two
objects at a time. Sample Arexx macros are included. See
"Installing the ProVector Demo" at the end of this file.
III. Getting Started/Help
If you have ARexx loaded on your system, double-click on
RexxRequest. Many of the ARexx macros included with the Stylus
Pro-Pak use this Rexx Command Host to build Graphic User
Interfaces for their operation.
Now double-click on the ProVectorDEMO icon. The Display Prefs
requester will open. If the use of this requester is unclear,
just select OK for now.
The Stylus Pro-Pak programs (including this demo) use the
standard AmigaGuide(tm) help system to provide on-line help.
To get started, choose the Misc/Help menu item or press the
Help key. Then select the "Toolbox & Summary of Operations"
gadget. This will give you an overview of the use of ProVector.
For information about a specific tool or menu operation, simply
position the Mouse Pointer over the tool, menu item, or
requester, then press the Help key.
The StylusTracer auto-tracing utility has similar on-line help.
The AmigaGuide files have been abridged for this demonstration
release. Thus, some nodes are no longer linked to their
corresponding hyper-text nodes. The commercial release
includes approximately 500K of AmigaGuide-based documentation.
IV. Installing the ProVector Demo
When you un-compressed this archive, a directory named
Stylus_Demo" along with sub-directories, should have been
created. All the programs should run properly, if launched from
this directory structure.
RexxRequest may be moved to "SYS:WBStartup" or left in the
Stylus_Demo directory..
The file, "textfield.gadget," may be copied to
"SYS:Classes/Gadgets" or left in the Stylus_Demo directory.
V. Summary
ProVector comes with a clearly organized, 300 page manual,
current to ProVector release 2.1. The AmigaGuide help files
document the new features for ProVector 3, as well as virtually
every aspect of the Stylus Pro-Pak software.
