- What the #@$% is SmartScale ?
-
- SmartScale is a little program I wrote intended for graphic conversion script
- files. It has 3 output modes. Con, env & ask. You can even use it just for
- graphics info. It will look at a picture or animation and tell you the
- dimensions of that picture and output the information to the con or env.
- It has internal ILBM support and will use datatypes for other graphic types.
- If you enter x & y scale args, the args will be recalculated & output'd in
- order to keep the aspect ratio of the picture or animation the same.
- You can also scale using the percentage argument instead of X & Y coordinates.
- If you use the ask mode you will be asked to enter an X & Y scale or %.
- Ideal for script files. If no file argument is given when in "ask" or "con"
- mode a file requestor will be automatically opened. If executed from the
- WorkBench or with no parameters information about the selected graphics file
- will be displayed in a requestor. You will then have the option of peforming
- scale calculations.

- See the following archives on the aminet for example usage of SmartScale:-
- Anim2mpegS.lha, Anim2mpegB.lha, Anim2gif.lha, Anim2qt.lha & Mp2anim.lha
-
- You may also wish to update these script/progs with this new version of
- SmartScale.

-
- Usage:
- SmartScale [con/env/ask] [file name] [x scale] [y scale]
- or
- SmartScale [con/env/ask] [file name] [%] [1-100]
- eg. SmartScale env pic.iff 640 200
- or
- SmartScale con pic.iff % 50
-
- ENV outputs:
- XIN & YIN input size of picture
- DIN depth of picture
- FT file type
- XOUT & YOUT calculated size of picture within the [X,Y,% scale] args
- while still maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
