Subject: PaintToEPS V2.01
Enclosed is an update to BitMapToEPS application for converting several
formats of graphics (B&W bitmap startup screens, MacPaint, PICT, PICT2
formats).
Version 2.01 fixes and add the following features:
* Bug: Bounding box of selected area is now correct when creating EPS
files.
* Bug: memory leak when saving PICT version of the image.
* Menus are enable/disabled correctly relative to current windows open.
* Added option to save QuickTime preview image to PICT files.
* Added support to "Drop" open QuickTime movies on application to play
them.
* Added several other minor options...
What will it do?
* It will read any of the above formats, or any format that you have a
Claris XTND translators for. Convert it to B&W bitmap, and allow you to
select area or whole picture to be saves as a PICT or EPS file.
* If QuickTime(tm) is installed, it will also allow you to play quicktime
movies and PICT. I admit it is of very limited use, but it was just to try
out quicktime routines.
* Supports Cut, Copy to Clipboard, Paste).
* Contains on-line help (accessed from Apple Menu).
Also enclosed are two XTND translators which require Claris XTND System and
applications that support it: StartUp Screens, Windows (.BMP) format
Note: the color tables for BMP files may not match, but it does support
B&W, 16 color, 256 color formats.
ShareWare $15.00 for appplication, and the two translators.
NOTE:
If you need other AFE or XTND translators written send me a notes.
I am converting the Windows (.BMP) format XTND translator into a Apple File
Exchange translator. It is in beta testing mode, some minor problems to
fix and more error traping is required. My current plans are to only
convert from (.BMP) format to PICT format. It would be relativily easy to
convert from PICT to B&W bitmap format of .BMP, if their is a call for it.
I am looking into converting .IMG files found in PC GEM, Ventura Publisher.
Things to do and limitations:
* limited testing on non-system 7 machines.
(Tested on Classic, IIsi, LC, Mac Portable, IIci).
* need to add option to work with Color or B&W images
(instead of covering everything to B&W).
* need to add paint editing tools: Fat Bits, eraser, selection, moving,
pasting & undo.
* need to add System 7 balloon help
* printing does not print original picture, it prints the converted B&W
picture.
Cheers, Mark
