Short: SViewIV V9.30 (24.7.2002) - Part 1/8 Author: Andreas R. Kleinert Uploader: info@ar-kleinert.de Type: gfx/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos ************************************************************************** What is the SViewIV package actually ? It does consist of a huge set of image loader/saver libraries called "SuperView-Library" (plus a few for displaying and image processing) that are dynamically loaded and flushed, depending on the free amount of memory. There are several programs included: - SView: the powerful main program that allows to access all options and settings, allows to load, save, process and convert images - not only via the GUI but also ARexx, etc. - WinSlide: for viewing images in a window on public screens, using as few memory as possible - smooth scrolling inclusive! Supports 8 through 24 bit displays. - ScrollSlide: like WinSlide but using its own screen, for best colors even on 8 bit displays - CyberSlide: like viewing images fromout SView with CyberGfx screen driver (16/24 bit capability), but done as small standalone program - SuperSlide: like CyberSlide but for AGA screens and screen modes, additionally dithering is done when necessary - SVPrefs: for changing settings of SuperView-Library modules easily. Most people forget about WinSlide and the other tools, even when already been using the program for some time. So, don't forget to check them out when testing :-) There's also a huge difference between SView and the SView Productivity Suite I + II CD-ROMs - as described on their covers or at www.schatztruhe.de ************************************************************************** Note: For a minimum installation, grab at least the following - SvIV-1.lha - SvIV-2.lha - SvIV-3a.lha - SvIV-4.lha - SvIV-5.lha - ... ************************************************************************** This is part 1/8 of the SuperView-IV distribution, which consists of the following parts: SvIV-1.lha Main program, Tools, SuperView-Library SvIV-2.lha Documentation files SvIV-3a.lha SVObjects (JPEG, PNG, PCX, BMP, ILBM) SvIV-3b.lha SVObjects (other - OPTIONAL) SvIV-4.lha SVDrivers SvIV-5.lha SVOperators SvIV-6.lha OPTIONAL SVOperators by SQ SvIV-7.lha OPTIONAL 68020+ optimized SV modules SvIV-8.lha OPTIONAL language localizations (except english/german) All parts are (C) 1993-2002 by Andreas R.

Distribution and other legal conditions are to be obtained from the documentation as found in the second archive. To get the complete distribution, un-archive each of the single archives into the same directory: LHA x [archive].lha RAM: This will result in a directory called "SViewIV" from where the installation script can be started. Note, that this won't work, if you did not un-archive all of the (non-OPTIONAL) archives... ************************************************************************** Other optional, separate archives are SvIV-UX.lha SVObjects for seldomly used Un*x file formats SvIV-PPC.lha Updates to PPC modules - for registered users, only SvIV-WOS.lha Updates to WOS modules - for registered users, only SvIV-WIZ.lha wizard.library for those who don't have it already ************************************************************************** Program Description and Distribution Concept -------------------------------------------- Successor of SuperView (NG); SViewIV (evaluation version), a localized graphics viewer, converter, editor and screen-grabber based on SuperView-Library, with ARexx support, GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality and many more features. SHAREWARE (evaluation version). Description of Features and Requirements ---------------------------------------- Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules for loading, saving (SVObjects), displaying (SVDrivers) and processing (SVOperators) graphics - converting graphics and "screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way. Only requires OS V2.04 and 68000, but also makes use of available OS V2.1 and V3.x features and 680x0 module versions, as well as optional powerUP (TM) powerPC module plugins. Includes licensed SuperView-Library, which supports the following file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing operators: ->>>> Total of 57 different graphic file formats <<<<- ->>>> Total of 4 different periphal devices <<<<- ->>>> Total of 11 different graphic display systems (26 cards) <<<<- ->>>> Total of 34 different graphic operators <<<<- SVObjects: - IFF-ACBM - Windows,OS/2 BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM) - IFF-ILBM - JPEG (JFIF v6) - IMG (GEM Graphics) - IFF-DEEP - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Bitmaps) - IFF-FAXX - TIFF - MacPaint MAC - IFF-PBM - PCX - EPS (Header/PS) - IFF-RGB8 - Atari Degas (1-3) - C64 (Koala, Doodle) - IFF-RGBN - Spectrum ZX - TIM - IFF-RGFX - XWD - FBM - IFF-YUVN - Windows Icon - CDR-Previews - QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2 - SGI - SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint - SunRaster - UtahRLE - PNG - CVP (passphoto) - Amiga Icons (lots) - SPP as well as all OS3-Datatypes and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43/V44). Many formats with 24 Bit-Support. Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject. Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation. Together with external third party programs also the following file formats seamlessly can be embedded: File Format needs program also needs support for --------------------------------------------------------- - AMF MetaView (ILBM) - CLP MetaView (ILBM) - DXF/AutoCAD (tm) MetaView (ILBM) - FIG AmiFIG (Postscript) or: MetaView (ILBM) - CGM GPlot (Postscript) or: MetaView (ILBM) - IFF-DR2D MetaView (ILBM) - IFF-DRSD MetaView (ILBM) - Limbo Limbo 4.0 (PNM) - Postscript (TM) Ghostscript - - WPG-Vector MetaView (ILBM) - WMF MetaView (ILBM) Devices (via SVObjects): - Scanner (scanner.device of ScanQuix) - Printer (printer.device/TurboPrint/Studio) - Camedia (digital cameras) - FxPaintStargate (quick export to FxPAINT) SVDrivers : - OCS/ECS - AGA - EGS7 - OpalVision - Retina - CyberGraphX - PicassoII - Merlin - Picasso96 - AGA/RTG Window - CgxOverlay SVOperators : - Dither24Bit - 24BitToHAM - HilbertDither256 - ExtractRed - ExtractGreen - ExtractBlue - XOR - ExtractGrayScales - TopToBottom - LeftToRight - Rotate - Scale50 - AnyTo24Bit - Crop - CallPNM - OptimizePalette - RotateFree - PaletteDither - Blur - Sharpen plus the following from Steve Quartly: - SQBentley - SQTiling - SQThreshold - SQOilPaint - SQMosaic - SQEmboss - SQSlicing - SQDiffuse - SQContrast - SQSharpen - SQBlur - SQDeep_Press - SQMotion_Blur - SQHighPass ***************************************************************************** ** Please support SHAREWARE and register NOW to receive YOUR KeyFile !! ** ***************************************************************************** Overview: Supported and Non-supported Graphics Cards ==================================================== Card Name Kind of Support ---------------------------------------------------- 1600GX - A2410 TIGA CG EGS 1 BVisionPPC CG 2 CyberVision64 CG P96 3 CyberVision64/3D CG P96 4 CyberVisionPPC CG 5 DCTV - Domino CG EGS P96 6 DraCo Altais CG 7 Firecracker - GDA-1 - Graffity - GVP 110/24 EGS 8 GVP IV 24 EGS 9 Colormaster EGS 10 Inferno (Wildfire) CG 11 Merlin P96 NAT 12 OMniBus P96 13 OpalVision NAT 14 Picasso II CG P96 NAT 15 Picasso II+ CG P96 NAT 16 Picasso IV CG P96 17 Piccolo CG EGS P96 18 Piccolo SD64 CG EGS P96 19 Pixel64 CG P96 20 Rain*ow II (R-II) EGS 21 Rain*ow III (R-III) EGS 22 Retina Z2 EGS NAT 23 Retina Z3 BLT CG EGS P96 NAT 24 Spectrum CG EGS P96 25 Visiona EGS 26 As you can see, any reasonable graphics card for the Amiga is supported in some way.
