- PBMtk
-
- Description:
-
- !PBMtk is the RISC OS version of the Portable BitMap Plus (PBMplus) Toolkit,
- and is a collection of functions for the conversion of image files from one
- format to another and for the manipulation of images.
-
- This release includes the source code. Interested readers may find this
- useful to see how not to write software for the RISCOS Desktop!!
-
- PBMtk has been written for some time (since Nov 93) and was never really
- intended for release. It began as a project to find out how to program in C
- and how to program for RISCOS. It was intended as a means of preparing for a
- 'bigger and better' project that I have been working on since. I never did
- solve all the problems that I set out to solve. I am still working on them!!
-
- It has a number of shortcomings...
-
- 1. It opens a window but then does nothing with it. I had planned to
- display the image files in this window, but then figured that other tools
- like Translator or ChangeFSI can do this better or faster. One of these days
- if any interest is shown I might clean this aspect up..perhaps someone else
- might like to contribute.
-
- 2. It is incomplete. I have compiled most of the PBMplus tools but not
- included them in PBMtk. See the Docs directory for a complete description of
- the PBMplus toolkit. Inclusion of all the tools would make the application
- HUGE. The source of all the tools and all the compiled binaries are
- available if anyone REALLY wants to take this project further, or use the
- binaries in another application.
-
- 3. Many others but I can't remember what they were!
