- Program Description and Distribution Concept
- --------------------------------------------
- Successor of SuperView; SViewNG (evaluation version), a localized graphics
- viewer, converter, editor and screen-grabber based on SuperView-Library,
- with ARexx support, GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality
- and many more features.
-
- SHAREWARE (evaluation version).
-
-
- What's *new* in this version
- ----------------------------
- - fixed some bad bugs in the ECS/AGA svdrivers as
- well as the support.library
- ("sudden black screen" with SetPatch 40.x)
- - fixed various other bugs
- - IFF-RGFX now fully functional (see Achim Stegemann's
- corresponding V43 datatype on Aminet)
- - added new ARexx command, important for slideshow
- control and such uses
- - etc.
-
-
- Description of Features and Requirements
- ----------------------------------------
- Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules
- for loading, saving (SVObjects), displaying (SVDrivers) and
- processing (SVOperators) graphics - converting graphics and
- "screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way.
-
- Only requires OS V2.04 and 68000, but also makes use of available
- OS V2.1 and V3.x features and 680x0 module versions, as well
- as optional powerUP (TM) powerPC module plugins.
-
- Includes licensed SuperView-Library, which supports the following
- file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing
- operators:
-
- ->>>> Total of 48 different graphic file formats <<<<-
- ->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<-
- ->>>> Total of 9 different graphic display systems (22 cards) <<<<-
- ->>>> Total of 32 different graphic operators <<<<-
-
- SVObjects: - IFF-ACBM - Windows,OS/2 BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- - IFF-ILBM - JPEG (JFIF v6) - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- - IFF-DEEP - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Bitmaps)
- - IFF-FAXX - TIFF - MacPaint MAC
- - IFF-PBM - PCX - EPS (Header/PS)
- - IFF-RGB8 - Atari Degas - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- - IFF-YUVN - Windows Icon - CDR-Previews
- - QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2 - SGI
- - SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint
- - SunRaster - UtahRLE - PNG
- - FBM - XWD - Amiga Icons (WB/Magic/New)
- - IFF-RGFX
-
- as well as all OS3-Datatypes
- and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43).
-
- Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.
- Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject.
-
- Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation.
-
- Together with external third party programs also the
- following file formats seamlessly can be embedded:
-
- File Format needs program also needs support for

-
- PROGRAM-CHANGES:
- ================
-
- V7.35 (6.12.97):
-
- - added new 'STATUS' arexx command for getting information about
- currently loaded/displayed graphics. This does enables you to
- get some more control oever the program (e.g. for slide show
- creation)
- (-> Kramer)
-
- V7.30 (16.11.97):
-
- - fixed prefs slider (same as in SVPrefs), now ranged 0..65535 by default
- - now also reads and writes Amiga Icons (WB, MagicWB and NewIcons)
- in an intelligent manner
- Note: Reading explicitely needs to be enabled
- by a Controlpad setting switch!
- - included Library 19.5
-
- BTW: did you read the review about SuperView and Picture Manager prof.
- in Amiga Informer issue #10 (www.amigainformer.com) ?
