-
- Warning1:
- This program takes about 30 seconds after
- showing your picture to start peeling, it
- does a lot of precalculations. It is slightly faster than peel.
-
- Warning2:
- This program USES five picture buffers, for speed. You need a lot of
- Chip RAM. 32 colors requires 200k of ram just for picture data. Now the
- program about 28k will load itself in chip ram. (Pointer msg requirement).
-
- Description:
- Peel is a program which takes a lo-res IFF picture and peels the
- image off the screen, while showing the back side of the image. Like tape
- being pulled off glass. This peeling starts in the lower right corner and
- leaves the background (Color 0) behind.
- After the first peel it will ask you if you would like to peel again at
- a different speed.
- If your lo-res IFF picture is made in the overscan mode Peel will still
- load it, but will only peel the upper right hand corner.
-
- Usage:
- From CLI type: Peel <[dev:]filename> [rate] [border] [color]
- where filename is a lo-res IFF picture including directories
- where rate is an optional number 0-199
- 0=25seconds 1=12.5sec 2=6.25 and each additional number is half the
- preceding,until about 75 then you just determine the break point
- for three picture peel.
- where border is border width in vertical pixels along the right side
- and along the top is proportional amount of horizontal pixels.
- where color is the number of the pen color used to draw the border,
- if you use a higher number than the bitplanes allow it will rap around
- just like the graphics SetAPen command does. (Because that is what
- it uses).
-
- Notes:
- 1:
- To save time Peel precalculates the back side of peel, it displays
- calculating on the CLI window, and it takes about 30 seconds before
- done is displayed.
-
- 2:
- To ease in recording the program turns off the pointer when it is
- started it returns the pointer to normal after it is done.
-
- 3:
- The interlace is turned on for better video recording, but all images
- are still just 200 lines tall.
-
- 4:
- If you are using grabbitt to save the screen, be aware there are two
- different buffered screens and a backside data screen, which is interlaced.
- You should hunt around to make shure you grabbed what you wanted.
-
- 5:
- There is no provision for interrupting this program, once started, just
- let it follow its course, or reboot the Amiga. Remember to hit the returns
- for actions when it is running.
-
- 6:
- This program was written in Lattice C 4.0 and is compatible with
- Kickstart 1.2 and Workbench 1.2.
