This is (yet another?) viewer program for picture files. But this one is
special, for a number of reasons:
* It shows only IFF-ILBM format picture files. And it can handle all
popular variants and formats.
* Unlike many other IFF-ILBM viewer programs, this one was specifically
written for graphics cards, using the CyberGraphX API (which is also
supported by the Picasso96 software); it does not run on a plain Amiga.
While this sounds like a disadvantage, it allows you to view HAM8
pictures on an ECS Amiga.
* This program supports colour cycling.
* Unlike other picture viewers, this program will try to display all
pictures in the correct aspect ratio. On a graphics card, every
pixel is square, yet there are IFF-ILBM pictures which require
pixels that are twice as wide as they are tall (or twice as tall
as they are wide).
And of course, there are the control options this program offers and the
source code is included, too.
History
=======
1.12 (29.11.2005)
- Fixed a data structure alignment issue when compiling on PowerPC that
prevented loading GraphiCraft pictures. [Reported by Alex Carmona]
1.11 (26.11.2005)
- Fixed the backwards cycling direction issue. As it turns out, the CRange
structure contains a bitmask. [Reported by Alex Carmona]
- Now the initial state of the cycle counters is used and preserved.
1.10 (15.08.2005)
- Ported to OS4.
