- USAGE instructions for the VGA viewer
- =====================================
- (C) 4/1992 by Hubertus Kehl
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- This distribution is an additional source based on the JPEG sources of the
- Independent JPEG Group. An viewer for VGA-cards has been implemented (jview)
- and some changes in jdmain have been made, to implement a new switch -v mode
- for the viewer.
- You can reconstruct my changes on the jpegsrc.v3 if you patch the
- diff-file over these sources.
- I don't distribute sources of Independent JPEG Group only my changes on it.
- Permission for use of this software is only granted, if you use it at
- your own risk. No warranty at all for damaged soft and hardware (monitors
- tortured with wrong hires modes etc.)
- (see also README.VIW and README)
- This software has only been tested on a TSENG 3000 card. A file to configure
- the videomodes has been provided. But if this helps to get the viewer work on
- your card, i don't know. Some changes may be necessary in jview.c (setvideomode
- or putrow etc.) The viewer can only be compiled with TURBO C or Borland C
- because it makes heavy use of the compiler's inline assembler and memory lib
- functions. Use Makefile.bcc for this.
- The viewer itself is very fast. The viewer takes only about 1% of the whole
- run-time of program. (Measured with a profiler). On a "normal" color image
- the quantization takes about 40-50 % and the decompression the rest. For faster
- viewing try -g or -1 to avoid the good looking, but slow 2-pass quantization.
-
- GENERAL USAGE
-
- djpeg [switches] jpegfile imagefile
-
- and for the viewer:
-
- djpeg [switches] jpegfile
-
-
- DJPEG DETAILS
-
- A parameter for the viewer has been added:
-
- -v mode Output a jpeg file to screen using the given videomode.
- Mode corresponds to the videomodes defined in the vgamode.cfg file.
- The first entry there, is mode 1. Viewing has only been tested
- on a TSENG 3000, for over cards you may need some modification in
- the sources in setvideomode, putrow or setpal.
- All options of djpeg are supported. Most times you can use -g
- (grayscale) for faster viewing, because of avoiding color
- quantization.
- (viewing implies -q, with default of 256 colors).
- You have only to specify one inputfile and no outputfile.
