REQUIREMENTS (PLEASE READ THIS;)
- cybergraphics v3 (, pictdt43)
- cv64/3d gfx-board
DESCRIPTION
CyberPiPView is another picture viewer with usage of the
datatypes. This program can do something special similar
programs can't do, it uses the videolayer feature of a
cv64/3d (no other Amiga gfx-board has this feature) to
display pictures in 16bit no matter which resolution the
current screen has (<=8bit, 15/16/24bit). This means that
any picture can be shown in up to 65536 colors even if the
current screen just has 8 colors. The gfx processors
automatically scales the picture to fit on the screen.
When the window gets resized, the picture will be scaled, too.
USAGE
From shell
----------
FILES/M: filename(s) or AmigaDOS pattern(s) of the image(s)
which shall be shown.
REQUESTER/S: pop-up filerequester even when CyberPiPView was started
with filenames given.
PUBSCREEN/K: name of pubscreen to show the pix on (must be a cgfx one).
From WB
----------
CyberPiPView can be started ...
1. As default tool
2. By multi selection (click on the program icon, then select the
files to view [hold the shift key down while doing this] and
finally do a double click to start CyberPiPView).
3. By a double-click, a requester will pop up then.
The tooltypes REQUESTER and PUBSCREEN are available from wb, too.
KNOWN BUGS
- Sometimes crashes your machine :( according to F.Mariak
this could be a hardware problem of the virge S3 chip. Actually,
Frank doesn't have much documentation on it, so if someone has
a good documentation on it ...
- Scaling doesn't always work perfect, sometimes you get
trash at a certain size (hardware bug?).
