- V│ Image Decoders with F-S Dithering for GIF
- --------------------------------------------
-
- Update 12.5
- -----------
- This image decoder updates fix a problem with
- PNG tRNS (transparency) and alpha channel images.
-
- They also provide numerous low-level optimizations
- in the assember subroutines used for chunky2planar
- and rgb-tripplet expansion.
-
-
- Update 12.1
- -----------
-
- This is a beta snapshot of the V│ Image Decoders
- with support for Floyd-Steinberg Dithering for
- rendering GIF images on CLUT (8 bit and less)
- screens.
-
- To activate the dithering, you need to set the
- dithering options in the V│ "Images" pref section
- to "Floyd-Steinberg".
-
- The dithering implementation uses the real on-screen
- RGB palette values to calculate the error values,
- similiar to how V│ handles JPEG already, so it does not
- rely on ObtainBestPen() and it's inherent relationship
- to the phase of the moon or nearby lylines.
-
- Individual dithering settings for the various image
- types and support for dithering of PNG images will
- follow.
