- Okay, so has no one tried out the AIG or (more likely) has no one
- bothered to give me any feedback?
-
- Version 1 is available from the CBATNAM webpage and version 1b
- is available from my AMOS-webpage...
-
-
- I will clarify what the AIG does:
-
- Using a paint-program such as PersonalPaint or DeluxePaint, you
- draw your images on an IFF screen. You do NOT need to draw a
- "frame" around each image.
-
- Just load the IFF into the AIG and it will scan the entire IFF (which
- can be up to 1024 pixels tall I believe), scrolling the screen up as
- needed so you can view the process.
-
- Unlike what I said in one of my previous messages, the AIG actually
- scans from Top to Bottom, LEFT To RIGHT, one row at a time.
-
-
- When it finds a piece of an image the AIG will automatically sort out
- the area the image uses and grab that image which will be placed into
- either the Bob or Icon bank, depending on which you specified in the
- Options menu.
-
- When the IFF has been fully processed, IF you have Auto-Centering
- turned ON (under the Options menu), the images will all be
- automatically width-aligned (according to the 16-pixel boundary
- needed for the blitter) and centered horizontally.
-
- So, the point is you do NOT need to do ANYTHING else, period...
-
- In addition, you can import Bob and Icon Abk-files which are
- appended to the appropriate bank. This allows you to merge a
- bunch of seperate Abk-files into one file and if Auto-Centering is
- ON, these imported Images will also be width-aligned and centered
- horizontally.
-
- You can work with both Bobs and Icons in the same session, simply
- switching between the two by using the Grab Bob/Icons menu-option.
-
- Choose the Display Statistics option under the Project-menu to see
- how many Bob and Icon images are in the current banks...
-
-
- Take care,
- GARFIELD
