- About Nview for PC under DOS:
- -----------------------------
-
- Nview is VESA compatible and works in 8,15,16 bits and truecolor mode.
- The only mode available is 320x200x8 if your video card doesn't
- support Vesa mode.
-
- For a complete description of the available modes on the display, type
- nview -help (and use it with -d option's)
-
- For example with my Diamond S3 864, "nview -d3 back.gif" use the 640x480x15 display.
-
- With the -p<width>x<height>x<bits>, you take the best display that matches the arguments.
- (Example: nview -p640x480x24 back.gif)
- -p0x0x0 choose the best display for the bitmap.

- NCONVERT
- ========
-
- Nconvert is the multi-format image converter.
-
- Type nconvert -help for available options.
-
-
- To convert files to a specific format, type for example :
- nconvert -out 5 file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
- or
- nconvert -out tiff file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
-
- With a resize :
- nconvert -out jpeg -ratio -resize 480 0 *.jpg
- nconvert -out jpeg -resize 640 480 *.jpg
-
- The input format is not necessary. If a problem occurs, use the -in option.
-
- Nconvert is able to transform images while converting:
-
- * To convert GIF files to JPEG files :
- nconvert -out jpeg -truecolors *.gif
-
- * To convert JPEG files to GIF files :
- nconvert -out gif -dither -colors 256 *.jpeg
-
- * To resize :
- nconvert -out tga -resize 510 230 *.jpeg
- nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 510 0 *.jpeg
- nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 0 510 *.jpeg
- nconvert -out tga -resize 200% 200% *.jpeg
-
- You can use it with images sequences.
- For example, to convert the files file00.pic, file01.pic, ..., file10.pic and
- we convert to jpeg format with the name pattern res0.jpg, res1.jpg, ... type :
- nconvert -out jpeg -n 1 10 1 -o res#.jpg file##.pic
-
- You can use % to specify source filename in dest filename.
- For example, nconvert -out jpeg -o result_%.jpg file.tga
- creates a file named result_file.jpg
