NVIEW
=====
Nview is a multi-format viewer.
Type nview -help for available option.
About Nview for PC under DOS:
-----------------------------
Nview is VESA compatible and works in 8,15,16 bits and truecolor mode.
The only mode available is 320x200x8 if your video card doesn't
support Vesa mode.
For a complete description of the available mode on the display, type
nview -help (and use it with -d option's)
For example with my Diamond S3 864, "nview -d3 back.gif" use the 640x480x15 display.
With the -p<width>x<height>x<bits>, you take the best display who match arguments.
(Example: nview -p640x480x24 back.gif)
-p0x0x0 choose the best display for the bitmap.
About Nview for X Windows (Linux/SGI):
--------------------------------------
Nview take the default visual for displaying the bitmap. You can use
-visual id (id is the visual number seeing with nview -help).
By default, nview display the bitmap and wait for a mouse click or Escape.
With the -w, Nview create one window per bitmap.
Nview works with pipe, in this case the input format must be specified:
cat img.tga | nview -f2 stdin
You will need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable with
the path where the libraries are.
By default 'install' put the libraries in /usr/local/lib.
NCONVERT
========
Nconvert is the multi-format converter.
Type nconvert -help for available option.
To convert files in a specific format, type for example :
nconvert -out 5 file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
or
nconvert -out tiff file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
With a resize :
nconvert -out jpeg -w480 -R *.jpg
nconvert -out jpeg -w640 -h480 *.jpg
The input format is not necessary. If a problem occurs, use the -in option.
Nconvert is able to make transformation
* To convert GIF files to JPEG files :
nconvert -out jpeg -truecolors *.gif
* To convert JPEG files to GIF files :
nconvert -out gif -dither -ncolors 256 *.jpeg
* To resize :
nconvert -out tga -resize 510 230 *.jpeg
nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 510 0 *.jpeg
nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 0 510 *.jpeg
nconvert -out tga -resize 200% 200% *.jpeg
You can use it with image's sequence.
For example, we take the file00.pic, file01.pic, ..., file10.pic and
we convert in jpeg format with the form res0.jpg, res1.jpg, ... type :
nconvert -out jpeg -o res#.jpg file##.pic
You can use % to specify source filename in dest filename.
For example, nconvert -out jpeg -o result_%s.jpg file.tga
create a filename result_file.jpg
