Short: ZSoft PCX datatype V45.3 (68k,OS4,WarpOS,MorphOS)
Author: oliver@futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts)
Uploader: oliver@futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts)
Version: 45.3
Type: util/dtype
Requires: OS 3.0+,picture.datatype v43+
Changes since previous Aminet release:
- Fixed bug that prevented the 68k and WarpOS classes from being flushed
from memory.
FEATURES
- Read standard ZSoft PC Paintbrush PCX files, including less common
non-standard modes which Cloanto Personal Paint can save
- Supports pixel bit depth of 1 or 8 and 1-8 planes of data, covering
mono 1-bit images upto 24-bit RGB, both RLE compressed and uncompressed
- Highly optimized datatype dispatch engine and PCX decoder,
resulting in a very efficient, compact and quick PCX datatype
- Asynchronous double buffering techniques (WarpOS only) and file i/o,
which speeds up image decoding
- Optimized versions for 68020, 030, 040 and 060
- PowerPC support with native OS4, WarpOS and MorphOS versions
- Alter the pen allocation precision when images are remapped to an
8-bit display
- Specific support for the AmigaOS picture.datatype v44+, when available
- The dithering feature of the AmigaOS picture.datatype v44+ can be
configured to your liking (e.g. disabled for 15/16-bit displays)
