Short: Gradient generator: test LCD monitors Author: Michael Malyshev Uploader: Michael Malyshev Type: util/misc Version: 0.1 Requires: OS 3.x, AGA, RTG Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a simple gradient generator for testing monitors. It allows you to tune/check your monitor for displaying 8 bits per colour (a lot of LCD/TFT screens are limited to 6 bits only, or you have a gamma setting set that shifts the colour spectrum. As usual, this tool is a result of a missing similar tool with same function that would work on classic amiga hardware. Also was curious to see how different monitors display gradients in real life without gamma settings that so called modern systems automatically implement for new monitors. This tool also complements my Monitor Test tool, if you need to do some serious tuning of your CRT screen or projector. Tested on AGA/CGX/P96 and 020/030/040/060/UAE systems and will probably work with other more exotic RTG software. Tried resolution from 320x200 up to 2048x1536 - the maximum I managed to get from a BVisionPPC card that my monitor could handle! How to use ========== Just run from WB or CLI Program opens Workbench clone screen, so you are required to have Workbench running in 8-bit or 24-bit screenmode for 8-bit colour. Again please note that AGA delivers 8-bits per colour, a lot of old RTG boards have limitations and will show only 6-bits. This will also be the case for 15/16 bit screenmodes. Once running press the following keys [Space, Return, Enter] = next color gradient [Backspace] = previous color gradient [Escape] = exit program Have fun with Amiga! PS: If you feel like writing me an e-mail, please put AMIGA as subject line. WARNING! Do not abuse your hardware, I take no responsibility if you brake it!
