- *****************************************************************************
-
- SlideMaster can be run from the CLI or the workbench:
-
- From the CLI: SlideMaster0.1 +[time] -[wipe] FileName .......
- Displays picture FileName for [time] seconds, using the
- [wipe] transition for this picture. Default time is 5
- seconds, default wipes are random. A '!' at the end
- makes it repeat in a loop. Pressing a key or mouse
- button will exit show.
-
- SlideMaster0.1
- SlideMaster loads and becomes an ARexx host.
- It will open a public port named 'SMASTER' and wait for
- commands.
-
- From the Workbench:
- Using extended selection (pressing the shift key) select
- the picture(s) you want to see, then double click on
- SlideMaster0.1. All the pictures will be shown with 5
- seconds per picture, and a random wipe. Pressing a key or
- mouse button will exit show.
-
- Double click on SlideMaster. This loads SlideMaster as
- an ARexx host with a public port named 'SMASTER'
-
-
- Using the wipes:
- From the CLI:
- The wipes are:
- l = Left
- r = Right
- u = Up
- d = Down
- h2c = Horizontal To Center
- hfc = Horizontal From Center
- v2c = Vertical To Center
- vfc = Vertical From Center
-
- For example:
- SlideMaster0.1 +7 -hfc df0:Lauran
-
- From ARexx:
- The first thing you need to do is specify the host (SlideMaster):
-
- shell 'SMASTER'
- or:
- address 'SMASTER'
-
- To load a picture:
-
- loadpic <name>
-
- This does not display it, however
-
- Displaying the picture with a wipe:
-
- wipe <motion>
-
- The Possible motions are:
-
- Left
- Right
- Up
- Down
- HorizToCenter
- HorizFromCenter
- VertToCenter
- VertFromCenter
-
- Quiting SlideMaster:
-
- close
-
- This will cause SlideMaster to close its port and exit.
-
- Of course, before we can do any of this, SlideMaster must have been
- loaded as an ARexx host (see above).
-
- See 'Slide.REXX' for a complete example.
