-
- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Unpack.svobject is an external Library-Module for the superview.library.
-
- I supports reading of XPK-packed files and will re-parse these through
- superview.library by creating an temporary, unpacked file at the location
- "VMEM:" and then retries the specific operation on the file.
-
- So this is just a Dummy-SVObject which does for you the work of
- unpacking graphics files before displaying them.
-
- Writing (packing) of files is not possible (yet).
-
- Remarks
- ~~~~~~~
- * VMEM:
- * Temporary data will be written to a directory assigned to "VMEM:".
-
- * Compatibility:
- * This SVObject is just thought to make your life easier, if you've
- to handle many packed files, which you don't want to unpack each time
- you want to display them.
- Nevertheless it is recommended instead to work with unpacked files,
- wherever possible.
- If you wish to pack files with PP20 or XPK, please use SuperView's
- own SVG file format for this instead.
