Drawmap
Version 2.25d
A program for drawing representations of the Earth's surface.
by
Bryan Brown & Ulrich Denker
01/21/91
I. Distribution
As with version 1.0 (on Fish disk 229) and Version 2.0 (on Fish disk 315),
this program is released into the public domain (FREEWARE), and is freely
distributable as long as this document file, source code, header files and
map files are included in their entirety. The source may be modified for
personal use, but is NOT for commercial use. The program was developed
with Aztec C v. 3.6a. The enhancements that lead to Version 2.24 were
compiled with the SAS (Lattice) C compiler V5.10.
Files included:
drawmap.doc - documentation file (English)
drawmap.anl - documentation file (German)
* drawmap.c - source code
* drawmap.h - header file
* drawmap-proto.h - prototypes for drawmap.c
* drawmap-menu.h - header file for menu selections
* drawmap-req.h - header file for string requester
drawmap - executable code
drawmap.help - THIS helpfile IS used by ABOUT
.helpenglish - English helpfile
.helpdeutsch - German helpfile
--> (you may rename each of these file to "drawmap.help")
map.bin - map file
map-trig.bin - map file
map-tidy.bin - special map file (used for colorfill)
map-tidy-trig.bin - special map file
* makedrawmap - simple batch file for building the
executable code
* hints_for_compiling - some notes about compiling from Ulrich
* close/drawmapicon1/2 - IFF Brushes (graphics used in drawmap)
* iffw.c/ilbmw.c/packer.c - Code for writing ILBM files from Amiga-
LibDisk 185 (CA IFF Disk)
* iff (dir) - Includes for iffw.c/ilbmw.c/packer.c
* arp (dir) - ARP includes and libraries needed
for SAVE AS option that uses the ARP
filerequester
* in archived form
II. Enhancements
(1) New functions:
(a) Save/SaveAs - The user may save the displayed map as IFF
ILBM file. The "Save As" option uses either the ARP or the
ASL filerequester (ASL Requester not tested !)
(b) Print - Creates a printout of the screen
(c) Draw Line - A little paint option to mark a place or sketch
some areas.
(d) About - Reads the file "drawmap.help" that should contain help
information (but does not, yet. German short instructions are
displayed instead, probably not SO useful for the English
speaking people)
Pressing the HELP key is also supported !
(2) Modifications:
(a) A completely new user interface is provided that uses standard
Amiga menus with a nice 3D effect
(b) The executable is nearly 8 KBytes shorter now
(c) Edit functions may be used with different colors. The active
color is chosen by the "color" item of the "edit" menu. Each
of the 4 screen colors may be selected.
(d) Draw Line / Flood Fill / Text functions may be canceled
(e) A backdrop borderless window is used instead of a gimmezerozero
window, making it possible to cycle trough screens with the
gadgets in the upper right corner of the screen.
