- History
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- I began to code Dgraph in fact for Atari ST(e). This one was in 240
- colors on a simple stf. But this version wasn't finish. Certainely
- because i haven't enough motivation to finish it. Cortexx and Morton
- work with my lame shit. Like it was unfinished and bugged, they had
- some problem to graph with it. The second reason that's i never
- finished this program, was because i hate DEGAS look like interface
- (an it look like that's !!!).
- One year and half passed and i finally had my FALCON. In my totally
- deception, there is NONE good drawing program on it. Prism paint is
- very slow and lame, and True paint is a big shit. Only Eclipse paint
- (Neochrome master Falcon) is certainely excellent, but for the
- moment it wasn't sell in your shop so... I decided to start to code
- Dgraph for many reasons. Many of us members graphist were
- desapointed that's there is no drawing program without bug (Mic
- drawed one day with Delmpaint 0.9 but this version is very too
- bugged, after this Cortexx try too, but he stopped immediatelly it's
- work...). Some editor have sell some drawing program, but i think
- they haven't understood that graphist don't need a nice interface
- with gem, but a old nice graphixx interface. When i diffuse my first
- version (0.1), i have notice some remark like : the interface look
- like old ST drawing program ! (Also a Dune members said it!) But for
- your informations, the Amiga 1200 have a excellent programm called
- Deluxe paint, and it look like old Amiga concept. On Atari we have
- new concept but NONE good drawing program ! Another reason why i coded
- this was for my personnal work. Like i love Neochrome (Mic too) and i
- decided to recode a kind of this type of drawing program.
-
- ShareWare ?
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- Yes, this program is a ShareWare. I hope i will receive some money
- for help me in my motivation too add some news fonctions and
- debugged it ! In the next version (0.4) the unregisted version will
- can't save your work ! So i hope you will understand that's (I hate
- this kind of think but i must do it, my pocket is soon empty !). For
- to be registed you must send 15$ (About 80-90FF) and 2 disks to :
-
- PIGNARD Arnaud
- 4 Square Eugène Varlin
- 91000 Evry
-
- You will received the two next version. (For the version 1.0 it will
- be different ! But i have many work before this !)
-
- Contact me
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- For increase my drawing program, send me all suggestions at the same
- adress. If i'm looking for GIF, PCX, TIF, IFF load and save routine
- and TGA load routine. If you have coded a drawing programm contact
- me too...
-
- Bug, you said bug ?
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- If you notice any bug on it report me it at the same adress.
-
- What's will do in the future
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- - Bezier courbe (like Deluxe paint AMIGA)
- - Differents loupe weight
- - More format to load and save
- - Less bug (Is there one ?)
- - More fonctions in block (Rotate, zoom bloc, 3d...)
- - Lasso mode (Like Neochrome master)
- - Improve palette edition
- - Inverse the fonctions selected
- - A better eraser
- - Slide Show mode
- - and many more ...

- ~ Bugs ~
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- - I have some problem in my code with the XBIOS 5. So please run DGRAPH in a
- 40 colonnes mode for a fun compatibility. (Fileselector)
- My problem was, when i change screen for about 10 times the XBIOS 5 fonction
- crash with a wrong video adress and with 2 bombes !
-
- - When you swap in fullscreen and to menuscreen the bloc will don't put where
- it was before. Easy to modify, but no times ...
-
- - For the moment STE palettes will don't be load with a P?1 FORMAT.
-
- - When you cut a block you have no problems, but if you put it and forgot
- it to delete from the block ram before you press space. The falcon
- will freeze this bug in the screenaddress. Now if you cut a new block
- and will put it and delete it correct. Press Space and then any other
- menu point. The program will set the block you have cut and deleted from
- the block ram a half screen under the your block you have sets.....

- Palette
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- When you select copy, i copy the select color in a buffer (For the
- moment i don't found any good idea for display the color in the copy
- buffer so, if you have an idea, write me fast !).
- When you select paste, i copy the color into the select color.
- The fonction transparence will make the calcul betwen two color, one
- selected (how will be erase be the transparent color) and the color
- in the buffer.
- The load and save palette fonction save a palette in 1024 octets
- like this: RRGG00BB. So Long red, Long green, Long free, Long blue.
-
- Cut
- ¨¨¨
- It's similary of Neochrome cut fonction. For the moment, i cut the
- bloc on the picture for a free move and paste. You can paste your
- bloc selected by pressing the right botton (like neochrome master),
- in this case, the bloc would be put in the picture, but you can also
- move it again.
- You can flip the bloc by pressing the arrow keys.
-
- Load
- ¨¨¨¨
- For the moment the DC1 format isn't finish, it will be a compacted
- version
-
- The DG1 version work very well. The format is :
-
- 3 octets : DGU = DGRAPH UNPACKED
- 1 octets : 1 = Version of the type of this format
- 2 octets : Taille X = Largeur de l'image
- 2 octets : Taille Y = Hauteur de l'image
- 1024 oct.: Palette = Palette of 256 colors in .L per composant
- 64000 oc.: Image = Image 8 plans entrelace(Not like Amiga format)
-
- Dgraph can also load :
-
- PI1 or PC1, a good old format on Atari ST. For the moment, i have
- some little problem to load Ste palette (Easy to fix, but no time to
- do it...)
-
- TPI Very usefull for import image from True Paint, and like Dgraph
- don't know PC picture standard, you can load it with True Paint and,
- Dgraph will load it. (Only picture save with a taille of 320*200 in
- 256 colors are better)
-
- DOO Very nice format for coders (Especially when we save an image
- with MonTT). In the future i will put a alert box for some
- parameters like : number of plans.
-
- PI9 is the DELMPAINT drawing format. 1024 octecs for the palette and
- 64000 octets for the picture
-
- Save
- ¨¨¨¨
- DG1 work very well
-
- PI9 work very well
-
- PI1 Some problem with the palette, but save the first 4 plans
-
- DOO work very well
-
- TGA normaly work very well (Very good for transfert your picture for
- Gemview to another format !) Add: Load it with GemView or Studio Photo !
-
- Disk tools
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- Don't work for the moment, use a fileseletor ...
-
- Drawing fonctions
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- Very easy to use, draw and that's all (for the moment !)
-
- Fixed zoom
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- For the moment only the draw mode work. Wait for the fill and line mode.
- When you press MOUSE K. the programm will modify the fonction of the right
- botton : Select color 2 or Take the color behing the mouse in color 1.
