This is Shader, nominally v0.01
Written in May 1990 by RIWS
Shader is designed to run under the
desktop, and to save Drawfiles of
rectangular areas, shaded in as many
colours as possible from one specified
shade to another. This is for putting in
the background on your latest
masterpiece.
To make it go, double click on the
icon in the disc window, the click on
the icon which will install on the icon
bar. The 'Shaded Box' window will
appear, showing that it wants to go from
black to white.
To alter the colours it uses, click
inside a number box, so that the caret
appears there. Then, you could type in a
new value on the scale 0-255, as normal,
or click on the red up or down arrow to
do it for you. The colours in the big
boxes will change to show the nearest
thing to your chosen colour in the
current palette (ie. Go into mode 15 or
21 for more colours), and the three bars
at the bottom should be updated
correctly.
When you are happy, consider the scale
setting (or leave it alone) and click on
'Make DrawFile'. This, by the way, saves
to disc, not !Draw.
