- This is Shader, nominally v0.01
- Written in May 1990 by RIWS
-
- Shader is designed to run under the
- desktop, and to save Drawfiles of
- rectangular areas, shaded in as many
- colours as possible from one specified
- shade to another. This is for putting in
- the background on your latest
- masterpiece.
-
- To make it go, double click on the
- icon in the disc window, the click on
- the icon which will install on the icon
- bar. The 'Shaded Box' window will
- appear, showing that it wants to go from
- black to white.
- To alter the colours it uses, click
- inside a number box, so that the caret
- appears there. Then, you could type in a
- new value on the scale 0-255, as normal,
- or click on the red up or down arrow to
- do it for you. The colours in the big
- boxes will change to show the nearest
- thing to your chosen colour in the
- current palette (ie. Go into mode 15 or
- 21 for more colours), and the three bars
- at the bottom should be updated
- correctly.
- When you are happy, consider the scale
- setting (or leave it alone) and click on
- 'Make DrawFile'. This, by the way, saves
- to disc, not !Draw.
