Short: Scaling datatypes picture viewer. Release 3 Author: Chris Lawrence Architecture: m68k-amigaos LONG: Improved ARexx port and documentation from last public release. ShowDT 2.4 (28.8.94) -- Scaling Datatypes Picture Viewer ======================================================== ShowDT is a viewer for any datatypes-supported picture format. Currently, there are datatypes for ILBM (including HAM and HAM8, but not IFF24), PCX, GIF, JPEG, BMP and MacPaint format images, with more on the way (these datatypes are available separately; on Aminet, they are in the os30/dtype directory). This viewer also supports proportional scaling to screen size of pictures. This works best for scaling down (up to about 60 to 70%) and up (to about 120%). Further expansion and contraction produces distorted areas in the picture. The effect is best with pictures with many colors and which do not contain text.
