Short: SView5 V1.41 (4.1.2004) - Part 1/8
Author: Andreas R. Kleinert
Uploader: info@ar-kleinert.de
Type: gfx/misc
**************************************************************************
What is the SView5 package actually ?
It does consist of a huge object-oriented module set
called "SView5-Library", that consists of many classes for
loading/saving (SV5Objects), processing (SV5Operators)
and rtg-displaying (SV5Drivers) graphics. These are
dynamically loaded and flushed, depending on the free
amount of memory - under the case, there are not many
similarities to OS 3.x datatypes.
There are several programs included:
- SView5: the powerful main program that allows to access all
options and settings, allows to load, save, process
and convert images - not only via the GUI but
also using ARexx and so on.
Includes a RTG-compliant screen-grabber!
- BatchProcess Batch conversion tool, for applying upto 4 image
processing operaters to a number of graphics by
wildcards and save them in a different file format,
e.g. load a bunch of JPEGs, then resize, dither
and save them as PNG files.
- PNG-Box5, dedicated tools for creation of graphics for
JPEG-Box5: WWW usage (HTML pages) with progressive/interlacing
and transparency support
- WinSlide: for viewing images in a window on public screens,
using as few memory as possible - smooth scrolling
inclusive! Supports 8 through 24 bit displays.
- ScrollSlide: like WinSlide but using its own screen,
for best colors even on 8 bit displays
- CyberSlide: like viewing images from SView5 using a CyberGfx
SV5Driver with 16/24 bit capability, but implemented
as small standalone program
- SuperSlide: like CyberSlide but for AGA screens and screen modes,
additionally dithering is done when necessary
- SVPrefs: for changing settings of SView5-Library modules
easily.
Most people forget about WinSlide and the other tools, even when
already been using the program for some time. So, don't forget
to check them out when testing :-)
There's also a huge difference between SView5 and the
SView Productivity Suite I + II CD-ROMs - as described on
their covers or at www.schatztruhe.de
SView5/-Library is NOT compatible with SViewIV and its predecessors,
it also is NOT compatible with previous versions of the library
and its sub-modules.
Keyfiles of predecessors won't work with any of the included tools.
OS 3.1 or greater is REQUIRED!
**************************************************************************
Note: For a minimum installation, grab at least the following
- Sv5-1.lha - Sv5-2.lha - Sv5-3a.lha
- Sv5-4.lha - Sv5-5.lha - ...
**************************************************************************
This is part 1/7 of the SView5 distribution, which consists of
the following parts:
Sv5-1.lha Main program, Tools, SView5-Library
Sv5-2.lha Documentation files
Sv5-3a.lha SV5Objects (JPEG, PNG, PCX, BMP, ILBM)
Sv5-3b.lha SV5Objects (other - OPTIONAL)
Sv5-4.lha SV5Drivers
Sv5-5.lha SV5Operators
Sv5-6.lha OPTIONAL 68020+ optimized SV modules
Sv5-7.lha OPTIONAL language localizations (except english/german)
All parts are (C) 1993-2004 by Andreas R. Kleinert. All rights reserved.
Parts only are allowed to be distributed together, not solely.
Distribution and other legal conditions are to be obtained from the
documentation as found in the second archive.
To get the complete distribution, un-archive each of the single
archives into the same directory:
LHA x [archive].lha RAM:
This will result in a directory called "SView5" from where the
installation script can be started. Note, that this won't work,
if you did not un-archive all of the (non-OPTIONAL) archives...
**************************************************************************
Other optional, separate archives for example are:
Sv5-IFX.lha SView5-based ImageFX loader/saver modules
Sv5-UX.lha SV5Objects for seldomly used Un*x file formats
Sv5-WIZ.lha wizard.library for those who don't have it already
**************************************************************************
Program Description and Distribution Concept
--------------------------------------------
SView5 (evaluation version), a localized graphics viewer, converter,
editor and screen-grabber based on SView5-Library, with ARexx support,
GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality
and many more features.
SHAREWARE (evaluation version).
Description of Features and Requirements
----------------------------------------
Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules
for loading, saving (SV5Objects), displaying (SV5Drivers) and
processing (SV5Operators) graphics - converting graphics and
"screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way.
Only requires OS V3.1 and 68000, but also makes use of available
OS V3.5 and V3.9 features and 680x0 module versions.
Includes licensed SView5-Library, which supports the following
file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing
operators:
->>>> Total of 62 different graphic file formats <<<<-
->>>> Total of 4 different periphal devices <<<<-
->>>> Total of 10 different graphic display systems (25 cards) <<<<-
->>>> Total of 50 different graphic operators <<<<-
SV5Objects: - IFF-ACBM - Windows,OS/2 BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- IFF-ILBM - JPEG (JFIF v6) - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- IFF-DEEP - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Bitmaps)

as well as all OS3-Datatypes
and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43-V45).
Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.

Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation.
Together with external third party programs also the
following file formats seamlessly can be embedded:
