Short: SuperView V5.40 + Library 12.8 (10.2.96)
Author: Andreas_Kleinert@superview.ftn.sub.org
Uploader: Martin Schulze (schulze@phil.uni-sb.de)
Type: gfx/show
ADDED PNG READING AND SUPPORT FOR picture.datatype V43 (CyberGraphX)
SuperView V5.40 EL (evaluation), a localized Graphics Viewer/Converter/
ScreenGrabber for the superview.library, with ARexx-Support, GUI,
AmigaGuide-OnlineHelp, Cx-Support and many more features.
Converting graphics and "Screen-Grabbing" is possible in a very comfortable
and object-oriented manner, also allows image processing via SVOperators.
OS V2.04+ is required, OS V2.1 and V3.x features are used if available.
SHAREWARE.
Evaluation version with "please register" requester and some restrictions
(until you receive your KeyFile...).
Includes licensed SuperView-Library Version 12.7, which includes the
following FileFormats, Display Drivers and Operators:
SVObjects : - IFF-ILBM - Windows BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- IFF-ACBM - JPEG (JFIF) - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- IFF-YUVN - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Graphics)
- IFF-DEEP - TIFF - MacPaint MAC
- PCX - EPS - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- GIF - FBM - Windows Icon
- QRT/POV - Mac PICT-2 - SGI
- SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint
- SunRaster - PNG
as well as all OS3-Datatypes
and CyberGraphX DataTypes (via picture.datatype V43).
Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.
Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject.
UtahRLE.svobject is available separately.
SVDrivers : - ECS - AGA - EGS7
- OpalVision - Retina - CyberGraphics
- PicassoII - Merlin
SVOperators : - Dither24Bit - 24BitToHAM - HilbertDither256
- ExtractRed - ExtractGreen - ExtractBlue
- XOR - ExtractGrayScales - TopToBottom
- LeftToRight - Rotate - Scale50
- AnyTo24Bit - Crop - CallPNM
- OptimizePalette - RotateFree - PaletteDither
plus the following from Steve Quartly:
- SQBentley - SQTiling - SQThreshold
- SQOilPaint - SQMosaic - SQEmboss
- SQSlicing - SQDiffuse - SQContrast
- SQSharpen - SQBlur - SQDeep_Press
- SQMotion_Blur - SQHighPass
PROGRAM-CHANGES:
================
V5.40: - joined "purpose" and "abilities" section in docs
- rewrote docs
- included superview.library V12.8 - with many changes
(supports CyberGraphX Datatypes via picture.datatype V43 now
and also fixes a lot of small problems)
V5.33: - now GUI is also fully localized: had to use a second
catalog for the GUI - named "superview_gui.catalog" -
which is yet only available in ENGLISH (default) and GERMAN
- removed english catalog/ct since it is default
(english texts are available for translation as comments
within the german ct files)
- redesigned GUI slightly
- searched for EHits in configuration and file requester routines
(-> Andy Philpotts)
- with the GUI still closed and no public screen present
called "Workbench", the Filerequester would have produced
an Enforcer Hit
- there was a wrong reference to "DefaultIcons/". Changed to
"PROGDIR:Bonus/DefaultIcons/" now (would have been used with
no "ICONPATH" defined)
- included superview.library V12.7, which fixes some important
bugs - mainly in the same context as with V5.31 and V5.32
LIBRARY-CHANGES:
================
V12.8 (10.2.1996) :
-------------------
- new SVObjects: - CyberDataType.svobject
Supports (CyberGraphX') picture.datatype V43,
which upgrades DataTypes to 24 Bit handling.
When CyberGraphX and picture.datatype V43+
are installed in your system, this module
will supersede the internal DataType svobject
(for graphics only) and thus allow extraction
of 8 Bit Chunky and 24 Bit RGB graphics
from datatypes.
You need special datatypes for that
(as coming with picture.datatype V43).
- PNG.svobject (Portable Network Graphics)
Allows reading of 8, 16, 24, 32 Bit PNGs.
- new SVOperators:
PaletteDither is an operator, which allows dithering to
a fixed palette, where you may freely define the palette
by specifying any (upto 256 color) GRAPHICS as a source,
of which a specified number of colors will be taken from its
palette and the rest will be freely set by the dithering
routines - without redundancies.
So you may:
- specifiy an already dithered graphics to which a number
of other graphics should be equally in parts of its
palette or the full palette
- simply specify a 1x1 pixel brush IFF file as a colormap
to be used fully or in parts (instead of an IFF-ILBM file
with only a CMAP in it)
For what is that needed ?
- for creation of ANIMations, where either all pictures
must share the same palette, or only a specific number
of colors may be changed
- for creation of games and applications, where 24 Bit graphics
of many sources should be placed on one single 256 color screen
You can specifiy the depth the 24 Bit input should be dithered
to and also how many colors should be predefined by the given
palette (which may be larger then).
This functionality has only been native to expensive image
processing applications yet.
- SVObjects: - BMP: - fixed reading of several non-standard BMPs
(e.g. from OS/2 or newer "Windozes")
- added read support for RLE4 compression
- ACBM,
ILBM: - now filtering unsupported bit depths
instead of letting the machine crash...
- YUVN: - now is able to distinguish between
YUV gray (400), 411, 422, 444, 211 and 222
when reading (211 and 411 have been tested).
- fixed reading and writing of 411
- maybe first useable version (in/output of
the others would only have been nearly
correct when being converted to gray)
- QRT: - misc (see there)
- TIFF: - misc (see there)
- JPEG: - linked with wrong math stubs.
Caused crashes
(-> Mike Lundell)
- SVObjects: - CyberGraphics: (see there)
- Docs: - added note on LX/020 problems when extracting archives
- rewrote sections about email addresses, known bugs,
and more
- added LZW/Unisys note to Copyright section
- included NotesAndHints.guide to main guide-file
and left out unimportant information
