Type: gfx/show
Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
*****************************************************************************
Via SuperView-Library SViewNG does support powerUP (TM) as one of the first !
(52 PPC plugin-modules available NOW, based on ppc.library)

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
----------------------------
- a WINDOW display SVDriver for AGA/RTG systems;
opens on any Public Screen and allows scrolling
- a WinSlide tool that does exactly the same, but
is more flexible and runs standalone (in the
same way as SuperSlide and CyberSlide)
- improved SViewNG, SuperSlide, CyberSlide
- many changes and bug fixes (see below for details)
- 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 52 different graphic file formats <<<<-
->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<-
->>>> Total of 10 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 - TIM - CVP (passphoto)
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:

PROGRAM-CHANGES:
================
V7.70 (28.6.98):
- added WinSlide, the new WINDOW display tool, similar
to Window.svdriver but as standalone program, like
SuperSlide and CyberSlide
- fixed (rare) "SV_WHERE failure" bug in installer script, which
could occur after interruption and retry (without reboot)
(-> Darcy Baston)
- fixed nasty bug in "?" (preferences) with the slider/integer
combination (slider was not precise enough, integer gadget
did not allow to modify slider value, changes were not kept)
- fixed certain conditional enforcer hits within the prefs'
slider and string selection routines
(-> Sven Drieling)
- fixed stupid bug in tooltype handling
- added new DEF_DIR tooltype for specifying the default directory
for graphics (filerequester initialization)
(-> Tom Lively)
- updated powerUP readme file
- updated "first aid" readme concerning SnoopDOS and "PATCHRAMLIB"
LIBRARY-CHANGES:
================
V21.4 (28.6.1998) :
-------------------
- Support-Lib: - added another, alternative viewmode generation
routine (to be selected via preferences)
- Note: V21.3 was not on Aminet
V21.3 (27.6.1998) :
-------------------
- NEW SVObjects: - CVP: - for video/passphoto format
- NEW SVDrivers: - Window: - Window.svdriver for AGA/RTG
- SVObjects: - MetaView: - added support for IFF-DSDR
and (some) Win CLP files
- PNG: - (see there)
- Misc: - fixed the "STACKSIZE" entry in various
.cpinfo files of SVObjects
- ECS/AGA/Window (now) have Dither24Bit as
default for colorspace adjustment
- JPEG.cpinfo specified "PROGRESSION"
option instead of "PROGRESSIVE", so
saving progressive JPEGs might not
have worked
(-> Olivier Jeannet)
- SVPrefs: - fixed slider/integer bug
- fixed enforcer hits (see there)
- Docs: - updated information on powerUP (TM) modules
- fixed several bugs and mistakes, updated
- see updated notes on SnoopDOS usage
