Short: Macintosh PICT2 pictures datatype (v40.4) Author: Erik Engdahl Uploader: vac eren memo volvo se Type: util/dtype Version: 40.4 Requires: AmigaOS 3.x Architecture: m68k-amigaos This datatype handles pictures in the native Apple color-format written by programs like Apple Color Quickdraw. Pictures with 256 colors and 16.7M colors are supported. Only bitmapped pictures are supported. Some of the drawing commands are skipped in order to generate a picture. If you have a picture that doesn't seem to be displayed correct then contact me. NOTE!! Separate datatypes for the black and white (only) MacPaint pictures can be found on Aminet. Because of an incomplete identifier for MacPaint pictures, done by Commodore, which (wrongly) recognize MacPICT2 files as MacPaint files a replacement function is included. Also included are some test pictures for the MacPaint datatype (NOT included), which use the extension ".macp". --- History --- v40.4 Removed debug code v40.3 Added picture.datatype v43 support (untested).
