- "algorithmic calculations"
-
- kinda both... i use my own digitizing routines to get the images into
- the computer (nothing all that sophisticated -- just grabbing bit-maps
- using routines from the c-language tool kit that comes packagaed with
- the video capture hardware board i use)...
-
- i capture all images at 8-bit color depth (keeping the files to
- 8-bit depth allows to remain small enough in data size so as to be quickly
- and easily manipulable)...
-
- ... alas i do calculate an optimum color palette (thus the images appear
- of fairly decent quality -- despite their limit to 256 colors)...
-
- once inside the computer (and displayed from within a custom application)
- i can do all kinds 'o stuff to 'em...
-
- i have written a library of graphics and animations routines (in both
- C and Pascal) that includes functions and procedures i frequently call
- upon (allowing for a increasing collection of custom effects).
