Short: IFF-RGFX picture datatype Author: Achim Stegemann, Fredrik Wikstrom (OS4 port) Uploader: Fredrik Wikstrom Type: util/dtype Version: 43.16 Replaces: util/dtype/rgfx_dt_os4.lha Architecture: ppc-amigaos This is a port of rgfx.datatype by Achim Stegemann. IFF-RGFX is an Amiga picture format that allows compressing the image data through any of the compressors available to xpkmaster.library. Install: 1. copy rgfx.datatype to SYS:Classes/DataTypes/ 2. copy RGFX(|.info) to SYS:Devs/DataTypes/ 3. copy DT2RGFX to C: DT2RGFX can be used to convert any image format supported by datatypes into .rgfx. F.e. to convert the image "image.pcx" and pack using gzip: DT2RGFX image.pcx image.rgfx XPK=gzip RGFXPrefs is not ported so you will have to use the m68k version if you need it. OS4 native render.library: http://neoscientists.org/~tmueller/binarydistillery/renderlib.lha xpkmaster.library glue file (needed if using the m68k xpkmaster.library): http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=library/misc/xpkmaster-glue file.lha -- original readme -- Requires minimum: * OS 3.0 * MC68020 * xpkmaster.library V5 * render.library V30 (included). Additionally recommended: * CyberGraphX with picture.datatype V43 for 24-bit images. * MUI 3.8 for the preferences. If you run OS 3.5, it is recommended to install the RGFX-DT35 archive !! With the help of the rgfx.datatype, your datatype sytem is able to read images coded in the new IFF-RGFX-Format created by Andreas Kleinert. This archive is freeware ! Do with it what you want, as long as you do not remove any files from this archive ! The archive also contains the utility 'DT2RGFX'. This converts a datatype picture to the new IFF-RGFX-Format ! The datatype supports the DTM_WRITE-RAW method, to save in own format. Changes since V43.16: * Fixed a bug in the installer script. Wrong CPU version of render.library was copied. Changes since V43.15: * Cleaned up ramlib-stuff (thx to Oliver Roberts). * V40-mode dithering didn't work, was just a black bitmap.
