-
- - [3.01]: Minor changes
-
-
- - [3.00]: (22nd October 1993 [Happy Birthday!])
- New release of GEM-View! Praise, criticism (preferably constructive),
- suggestions for improvement to my address. The future holds the
- development of an interesting series of ideas, which I hope will meet
- with general approval. I hope also that the "Trararis" will stay with
- us. Questions about the modular programming may be made by telephone.
- (Only Saturdays 14-16 o'clock, I do not speak English well!) And I hope
- to get hold of complete modules so that they can be added immediatly
- to GEM-View! (Better bit by bit ;-)
-
- !!! ATTENTION: Choose the right folder for your modules using
- "Install path... ^Z" and save the configuration!
- !!! ATTENTION: The structures for the modul-interface are changed!
-
- It is advisable to use the program WinX2.1 with the Falcon, because
- there's an unpleasant flaw in TOS which has effect that the operating
- system hangs when one has more than 15 windows open. This certainly
- happens with TOS 4.04. It doesn't seem to me to be sensible to limit
- GEM-View, so please be on your guard against this or instal WinX2.1.
- The operating system flaw is going to be eliminated in the new TOS
- release and no longer occurs under MultiTOS.
-
-
- - [2.99ß]: (16th October 1993)
- o External dither matrices can now also be used for ordered color
- dither. (On 8 colors ORDER16C.DIT gives better results!)
- o External loading drivers are now available!
- o Sources for loading drives added.
- I will be delighted to receive other loading modules!
- o Big fix on monochrome TIFF's in which width is aligned by 8.
- o "EXTOBFIX.PRG", external modules from "Interface" (Resource Construc-
- tion Set) can now be used for displaying "extended" resources under
- GEM-View's control.
-
-
- - [2.98ß]: (13th October 1993)
- o Some internal changes.
- o Improved color-reduction methods:
- - Conversion to the new picture
- . Statistical (a little bit slower variance-based process for
- calculating the best color palette; excellent
- results on a reduction to 64 - 256 colors, very
- good results on a reduction to 16 colors!)
- o External printing modules: Minor changes (also in Sources)!
-
-
- - [2.95ß]: (10th October 1993)
- o External loding drives functional!
- o Two examples for loading drivers ( including Source ) available.
- IFF.GVL (Mono,Color,TC) and ImageLab (Color)
- o ZOOM (using "Globals <ALT>G") possible without reload the image.
-
-
- - [2.92ß]: (8th October 1993)
- o "Load Type...": Pictures loaded with choice of format. Enables
- GDPS drivers to be tied in also. (Please see MODLPROG.TXT)
- o Alert Boxes triggered by unknown format pictures or existing files
- can be switched off. In this case a protocol file is created and
- shown in the GEM-View window after the conversion is finished.
- The existing file will not be overwritten, the image will saved with
- an newly-created name, which will also be protocolled!
- Makes it easier to convert images using the module described in 2.90ß!
-
-
- - [2.91ß]: (5th October 1993)
- o Interface of the loading functions changed to accommodate the
- future need!
-
-
- - [2.90ß]: (3rd October 1993)
- o Sundry smaller changes.
- o External module for the predetermination of conversion features.
- - A primitive example with source code is available. It asks for
- details of the pictures to be converted. (Wildcards, as well as
- multiple selections through "Selectric" are allowed).
- The destination folder and the target format can be chosen.
- The example is admittedly very primitive; a window orientated
- module with instal options in detail (also for individual files
- seperately) is definitely prettier.
-
-
- - [2.89ß]: (1st October 1993)
- o Minor changes
- o External printer modules now available. There are simple examples with
- them (including source code). I will delighted to receive other
- printer modules!
- - 8 pin printer function with 120 dpi for the NEC P6.
- - 24 pin printer function with 180 dpi for the NEC P6.
- - Demo module for color printing including ordered dither to 8 colors.
- o External processing modules functional. Simple examples (with sources)
- included. I will be delighted to receive other processing modules.
- - Horizontal and vertical mirroring for Mono, Color, TrueColor.
- - Horizontal and vertical doubling for Mono and Color.
- The enlargement in TC should be reserved by the user an an example.
- But this example shows the limitation for individual picture types!
- - Horizontal and vertical halving for Mono and Color (see above).
- - Doubling and halving (physically) for Mono and Color (see above).
- <ALT>+ and <ALT>- is only a virtual doubling and halving only for
- display!
-
-
- - [2.88ß]: (27th September 1993)
- o Some internal extentions
- o External saving modules functions, to be loaded as necessary.
- Several examples are provided as source text: ESM, ESMTC, IFF, TIFF,
- TIFF8BPS, TIFFTC which will provide interested users with specimen
- examples of the new storage modules. Again I will delighted to
- receive other modules of this type!
- o Infofunctions for modules: The flags "resistent and "automatic" can
- switch on/off in this dialog (has effect only with loading modules).
- The "file-selector" flag can not changed by the user, because it
- is a special module feature.
- o Better rotation in TrueColour with TrueColor pictures.
- o Fault in "Palette -> TrueColor" eliminated.
-
-
- - [2.85ß]: (22nd September 1993)
- o DSP-JPEG decoder will only be directed at the registered version of
- GEM-View (Recognisable by missing strips on loading).
- o Switch for TrueColor-XIMG pictures: Unaligned (used by GEM-View) or
- 16 pixel aligned.
- o Smaller storage usage in the loading of unstripped TIFFs.
- o Bug in the loading of TIFFs with extra smaples fixed.
- o Bug in loading RLE4-packed BMPs frightened and eliminated.
-
-
- - [2.80ß]: (15th September 1993)
- o Sundry small changes.
- o Faster loading of JPEG files (without DSP) by about 33%.
- Many thanks to Guido Vollbeding for the optimised assembler routine
- for inverse DCT-Transformation.
- o Powerful acceleration (in parts over 500%) in loading non-interleaved
- Color GIF images.
- Many thanks to Stefan Becker for the optimised assembler decompression
- function for non-interleave Color GIF images.
- o Improved color reduction methods:
- - Number of colors
- . Freely selectable
- . With regular color palettes (4, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216 colors)
- - Calculation of color palette.
- . Fix (Fixed color palette as in GEM-View up to version 2.48 ;-{ )
- . User (User definable, the picture follows the color palette of
- the top window [better] or the standard palette dithered
- [worse]. Useable for sequences of pictures which should
- use the same colors in the same order!)
- . OcTree (Fast, good process! When "approximativ" is switched on,
- only about 30000 pixels are used for calculating the
- color map. In most cases this is sufficient.)
- . Statistical (a little bit slower variance-based process for
- calculating the best color palette; excellent
- results on a reduction to 64 - 256 colors, very
- good results on a reduction to 16 colors!)
- - Conversion to new picture
- . Ordered Dither (fast process with regular palettes.)
- . Nearest Color (A non error propagation dithering process.)
- . Floyd Steinberg(error propagation dithering process, alternating)
- . JJN-Dither (error propagation dithering process, alternating)
- . Stucki-Dither ( --- " --- last 4 with dynamic palette.)
- - Noise Filer (Diminishes effect in color tran 24 bit -> 15 bit)
- - Compress C-Map (Switch off the compression of the real used colors
- will not made. Should be switched off for "Ordered
- Dither" and "User".)
- - Grey (Convert to greyscale color map.)
- - Always (Always use, even when not necessary. Must be
- switched on in connection with "User".)
- o Better identification of XGA images.
- o Loading PCDs (Kodak Photo-CD) in BASE/4 and BASE (Switch in GLOBAL).
-
-

- o Greyscale conversion to 256 steps can be effected during the loading
- of a JPEG picture carried out through the DSP (both GLOBAL dialogue).
- o Faster transformation into standard format
- o It is possible to avoid changing the first 16 colors. If you want
- to ensure that the first 16 colors are unchanged, set the number of
- colors in the PRESET dialogue (^F) to 240. Save your configuration
- with (<ALT>Z).
-
-

- The pure decoding is 10 to 14 times faster with the DSP!
- Load and Decode Time (no further processing by GEM-View):

-
-
- - [2.19b]:
