-
- II. About the Stylus Demo
-
- The Stylus Demo demonstrates the programs included in the
- Stylus Pro-Pak, a professional software bundle for graphic
- artists. The Stylus Pro-Pak includes ProVector® 3, a major
- update of Stylus, Inc.'s structured-drawing program;
- StylusTracer(tm), an autotracing and image-processing utility;
- PSImport(tm), a PostScript® import utility for ProVector; and
- RexxRequest(tm), an ARexx command host for designing
- Intuition(tm) requesters for ARexx macros.
-
- The principal programs included in this demo are the following:
-
- ProVector®
- StylusTracer(tm)
- RexxRequest(tm)
-
- PSImport(tm) and the other import and export drivers from the
- full release are not included in this archive.
-
- The ProVector version provided, ProVectorDEMO, will run on
- 68000 equipped, stock Amiga computers with OS 2.1 or greater
- and at least two megs of RAM; however it will sense the
- presence of 68020 or greater CPU chips, and take advantage of
- the extended instruction set of these chips for increased
- performance.
-
- The full ProVector package also includes a Motorola 68881
- version for faster and more accurate math operations. The
- greater math accuracy of the the '881 version permits page sizes
- greater than 32 inches (up to over 15 x 15 miles), as well as
- the ability to do exceptionally detailed work in high
- magnifications.
-
- For users who do not have a math coprocessor, a Fast Floating
- Point (FFP) version is also included. This version will
- provide math accuracy nearly as high as the '881 version, but
- will not be as fast, since the floating point math is done in
- software.
-
- The full Stylus Pro-Pak also includes drivers to output
- drawings as IFF-DR2D, Preferences, PostScript® (including
- Encapsulated PostScript and Color Separations), IFF-ILBM
- (including 24-bit-color, anti-aliased, super-bitmaps), Adobe
- Illustrator(tm) and HP-GL compatible devices. There is a
- special HPGL_Tile driver that will support the maximum page
- size of virtually all HP-GL compatible devices, as well as
- tiling for pages larger than the device's maximum. This driver
- is particularly useful in sign-cutting applications.
-
- The Stylus Pro-Pak also includes PSImport, a full PostScript
- interpreter for importing, viewing, and editing any PostScript
- graphic into ProVector. HPGLImport provides similar
- capabilities for HP-GL graphic files.
-
- Certain features of ProVector are necessarily disabled in the
- demo version. The disabled features include all saving and
- printing operations, and clipboard cutting and copying.
- Disabled features are indicated by ghosting in the menus. The
- corresponding ARexx(tm) commands are also disabled. The ARexx
- interface to ProVector is also limited to operating on two
- objects at a time. Sample Arexx macros are included. See
- "Installing the ProVector Demo" at the end of this file.
-
-
- III. Getting Started/Help
-
- If you have ARexx loaded on your system, double-click on
- RexxRequest. Many of the ARexx macros included with the Stylus
- Pro-Pak use this Rexx Command Host to build Graphic User
- Interfaces for their operation.
-
- Now double-click on the ProVectorDEMO icon. The Display Prefs
- requester will open. If the use of this requester is unclear,
- just select OK for now.
-
- The Stylus Pro-Pak programs (including this demo) use the
- standard AmigaGuide(tm) help system to provide on-line help.
-
- To get started, choose the Misc/Help menu item or press the
- Help key. Then select the "Toolbox & Summary of Operations"
- gadget. This will give you an overview of the use of ProVector.
-
- For information about a specific tool or menu operation, simply
- position the Mouse Pointer over the tool, menu item, or
- requester, then press the Help key.
-
- The StylusTracer auto-tracing utility has similar on-line help.
-
- The AmigaGuide files have been abridged for this demonstration
- release. Thus, some nodes are no longer linked to their
- corresponding hyper-text nodes. The commercial release
- includes approximately 500K of AmigaGuide-based documentation.
-
-
- IV. Installing the ProVector Demo
-
- When you un-compressed this archive, a directory named
- Stylus_Demo" along with sub-directories, should have been
- created. All the programs should run properly, if launched from
- this directory structure.
-
- RexxRequest may be moved to "SYS:WBStartup" or left in the
- Stylus_Demo directory..
-
- The file, "textfield.gadget," may be copied to
- "SYS:Classes/Gadgets" or left in the Stylus_Demo directory.
-
-
- V. Summary
-
- ProVector comes with a clearly organized, 300 page manual,
- current to ProVector release 2.1. The AmigaGuide help files
- document the new features for ProVector 3, as well as virtually
- every aspect of the Stylus Pro-Pak software.
