Iconian v1.90 beta
Well, I tire of this project. So I'm unleashing it upon the
unsuspecting Amiga community. Take it as a god-send wonder, or as an
example for the value of the DELETE command. I made this program to fit
my taste. It may also be yours, or it may be the ugliest thing you've
ever seen. I don't really care at this point.
Just some thing's I will mention to make using this monster a bit
easier.
When you select "SAVE" or "Save Prefs", this will also save the window
positions and sizes. Then, next time you start Iconian, your new
positions will be used instead of the NTSC 640x200 defaults. This may
be a pain, though, if you are constantly changing your Iconian
preferences...
Also, the preference window doesn't contain any documentation.
Remap Brushes: If ON, a FindColor will be used to determine pen color.
This should be ON for about 99% of all cases.
Immediate draw: If this is ON, then as soon as you click inside a
window, you will start drawing. This is useful if you are drawing in
both the magnified window and the viewer windows. If OFF, then you must
first activate the window, then click a second time to start drawing.
Use crosshairs: This is an easy one. Turn it off if you don't like my
crosshair sprite.
Save Eight: This forces all saved icons to eight planes. This is the
way original MagicWB icons are saved. They are usually bigger than
neccessary, due to extra plane info. But, they are able to be displayed
correctly under different screen depths. Remember WorkBench 3.0 has a
funny way of determining palette colors and pens...
Relative Coords: This gadget is not connected, so don't expect it to
work.
Visible Grid: This will draw lines between the magnified pixels. Only
works at higher magnifications. Be forewared that this is SLOW. Use at
will.
Mag Draw Only: This means you will unable to draw within the viewer
windows.
Obey Locks: Turning this OFF will allow you to edit ANY RGB values on
the public screen. Only use this if you know what you are doing!
Strip Planes: This overrides Save Eight. If ON, Iconian will search
for the highest used color in the icon, and strip any extra planes.
Don't Lend: Left over from previous versions, and does NOTHING.
The 't' key will bring up the "enter text" window.
Pressing the 'T' key will bring up the font requester.
Pressing the RETURN key will change from the current brush to text mode.
Pressing 'B' will recall the last cut brush after selecting "enter
text".
To receive a version without the annoying requesters, (Or for any
latest version I may have done.) send me a SASE envelope, a blank disk,
and 10$ (U.S.).
Ok, have fun. C.Randall February 26, 1994.
