Short: SGX File Format Specification Author: info@ar-kleinert.de Uploader: info ar-kleinert de Type: docs/misc Version: 4.2 Architecture: generic SGX Graphics File Format Specification -------------------------------------- SView5-Library's own graphics file format with LZ77 (ZIP) (*) compression support, being the predecessor of IFF-RGFX, and therefore now deprecated. (**) It is a very fast, smart and amiga-based alternative to other non-lossy 8/24 Bit file formats (surely IFF-RGFX is even smarter). Please see also Aminet:gfx/misc/SView5.lha for a tool which can write such files and Aminet:util/dtype/akSGX-dt.LHA for a datatype which can handle the created files. (*) XPK support deprecated (**) A reason why you might want to use it anyway, is that it allows to dump & read 32/64 Bit RGBA files /w alpha channel VERY easily, other than e.g. PPM/PNM. Plus it works compressed or uncompressed, just as preferred.
