---------------------------------------------------------
Program Description and Distribution Concept
--------------------------------------------
Successor of SuperView; SViewNG (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).
What's *new* in this version
----------------------------
- fixed some bad bugs in the ECS/AGA svdrivers as
well as the support.library
("sudden black screen" with SetPatch 40.x)
- fixed various other bugs
- IFF-RGFX now fully functional (see Achim Stegemann's
corresponding V43 datatype on Aminet)
- added new ARexx command, important for slideshow
control and such uses
- etc.
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 48 different graphic file formats <<<<-
->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<-
->>>> Total of 9 different graphic display systems (22 cards) <<<<-
->>>> Total of 32 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 - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- IFF-YUVN - Windows Icon - CDR-Previews
- QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2 - SGI
- SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint
- SunRaster - UtahRLE - PNG
- FBM - XWD - Amiga Icons (WB/Magic/New)
- IFF-RGFX
as well as all OS3-Datatypes
and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43).
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

- Printer (printer.device/TurboPrint/Studio)
SVDrivers : - OCS/ECS - AGA - EGS7
- OpalVision - Retina - CyberGraphX
- PicassoII - Merlin - Picasso96
SVOperators : - Dither24Bit - 24BitToHAM - HilbertDither256

- SQMotion_Blur - SQHighPass
PROGRAM-CHANGES:
================
V7.35 (6.12.97):
- added new 'STATUS' arexx command for getting information about
currently loaded/displayed graphics. This does enables you to
get some more control oever the program (e.g. for slide show
creation)
(-> Kramer)
V7.30 (16.11.97):
- fixed prefs slider (same as in SVPrefs), now ranged 0..65535 by default
- now also reads and writes Amiga Icons (WB, MagicWB and NewIcons)
in an intelligent manner
Note: Reading explicitely needs to be enabled
by a Controlpad setting switch!
- included Library 19.5
BTW: did you read the review about SuperView and Picture Manager prof.
in Amiga Informer issue #10 (www.amigainformer.com) ?
LIBRARY-CHANGES:
================
V19.7 (6.12.1997) :
-------------------
- Note: V19.6 was not on Aminet
- SVDrivers: - AGA, ECS: - fixed SetPatch-Bug (see there)
- SVObjects: - RGFX: - fixed small bug
- Support-Lib: - fixed SetPatch-Bug (see there)
V19.6 (27.11.1997) :
--------------------
- SVObjects: - RGFX: - (see there)
- Support-Lib: - (see there)
- Docs: - updated Pressfeedback section: CU Amiga
granted "SuperView" 5 out out 5 stars
in a very positive review article :-)
V19.5 (16.11.1997) :
--------------------
- NEW SVObjects: - AmiIcon: - reading/writing Amiga icon (.info)
files with either WB (4/8 color) or
MagicWB (16 color) palette, supports
NewIcons for > 16 colors
Note: Reading explicitely needs to be enabled
by a Controlpad setting switch!
- IFF-RGFX: - new graphics file format standard
proposal for AGA/RTG Amigas now
supported, too
(see Aminet:dev/misc/IFF-RGFX.lha)
- SVObjects: - C-Source: - now can write assembler source code
as well
- ILBM: - (see there)
- SVG: - (see there)
- SVOperators: - XOR: - (see there)
- Prefs: - (see there)
- Docs: - updated
- updated infos on Scanner and Printer SVObject
