- Author: cmh@lls.se (Magnus Holmgren)
- Uploader: cmh@lls.se (Magnus Holmgren)
- Type: gfx/show
- Version: 39.14
- Requires: OS 3.0
-
- Visage is an IFF ILBM/JPeg/PNG/Datatypes viewer for the AmigaOS version 3.0
- and higher. Main features include:
-
- Supports AA (AGA), ECS, RTG, PCHG, SHAM and CLUT. ;)
-
- Can display "deep" pictures in all formats on ECS Amigas, rendered
- in HAM, "normal" color or grayscale.
-
- Can scale "rendered" pictures to fit the screen.
-
- Extensive monitor support. Uses a BestModeID()-like function to
- find a suitable mode (if needed).
-
- Any native Amiga screen mode can be specified with text! No numbers
- needed. But you can use numbers, if you so wish. Or a requester.
-
- Simple promotion of pictures to any installed monitor. No hardcoded
- command line options for this. There is even a monitor requester.
-
- Several slideshow options, including a random mode, making Visage
- ideal for use with screen blankers as an external module.
-
- It's free!
-
-
- News in version 39.12 (unofficially called VisageNG) include:
-
- GIF support removed (due to unreasonable (IMHO) licensing
- conditions by Unisys). This is why this release is called
- VisageNG. NG for "No GIF". ;/
-
- PNG support added. Based on libpng/zlib, so it could probably be a
- bit smaller (and maybe even faster), but it is there, and it works.
- ;)
-
- JPEG reader rewritten to use the IJG sources directly. This means
- that progressive JPEGs are finally supported.
-
- CyberGraphX support added (bought myself a gfx-card ;).
-
- Improved pipe reading capabilities. Most internal readers should be
- able to read from pipes now (including Xpk compressed IFFs).
-
- Various minor improvements, and a couple of bugs and quirks fixed.
-
- Translations updated, done by ATO.

- Installation notes:
-
- If you wish to start the installer from the Shell, please use the provided
- ShellInstall script. It sets the parameters correctly.
-
- Also, note that the automatic language selection doesn't completely work
- with all versions of the Installer.
