Short: High-Quality-HAM8 JPEG image viewer Author: Smack/Infect! (Michael Henke) Type: gfx/show Architecture: m68k-amigaos #features -high-quality display for AGA machines (18bit-RGB) -lean code, external JPEG handling routines (jpeg.library) -full source code included #requirements -AGA chipset -CPU 68020+ -AmigaOS V39+ -jpeg.library V5+ (Aminet:util/libs/jpeglibrary50.lha) -tested on: A1200 (68030+882 @ 40MHz, 16MB Fast) #recommended -reqtools.library V38+ -FastRAM -some JPEG images :) ; ; ;--------------------------------- ; ; h8jpg ; code by Smack/Infect! ; Tue 18-May-99 ; ;--------------------------------- ; ; #introduction Yes, this is yet another image viewer. No, it was not written to compete with or even to replace your favourite image viewer (I'm frequently using Visage). It's simply a little tool that I wanted to have, so I sat down and coded it. #how to use it h8jpg is a shell-only program. The argument template is: FILES/M one or more filenames (if omitted a reqtools file requester appears) FITSCREEN/S scale images down so that they fit the screen (they can be up to 50% wider and/or higher) While displaying images h8jpg recognizes these inputs: Space/LMB next image Esc/RMB exit #technical stuff This is where we get to the drawbacks of the HAM8-RGBB technique: -enormous chip memory consumption (h8jpg first tries to display the images in their original sizes, if there should be not enough chip memory available then they will be scaled down) -low screen resolution (h8jpg uses screen mode $8820, that is "Super-High Res HAM" of the system default monitor driver - PAL or NTSC. the images will look like "Low Res" because each image pixel is made of 4 screen pixels) #author email: smack@smack.de h8jpg is Copyright (c) 1999 by Michael Henke.
