- GetImage - by Michael J. Farren
- A utility to convert DPaint brushes into c source code as Image structures.
-
- This archive contains the source & executable for gi and GetImage
- by Michael J. Farren. Gi is the unadulterated program and GetImage is a
- version that I hacked up a bit to suit my needs. Both programs make Image
- source from a DPaint brush file, but GetImage also creates an Image
- structure along with the Image data, and includes other info about the
- processed Image. GetImage also does not require a destination filename.
- This way your Image source file has the same name as your brush file but
- with a '.c' extender.
- For those of you that have used the ImageMaker program, GetImage has
- one big advantage over it in that very large brushes can be processed
- without getting a truncated source file. ImageMaker can't handle brushes
- that are 100x20 pixels in dimension in med-res, while I have yet to have
- GetImage to gag on anything.
- These programs were compiled with the Aztec 3.20a compiler, but
- Lattice should work just fine.
- GetImage & gi run perfectly under Kickstart 1.2 beta-7(release).
- If anybody makes some useful changes to these programs I'd like to
- have access to the new code, as I use this program a lot.

- More Updates, by Charles A. Brand
- ---------------------------------
-
- 1/90 This utility has been since upgraded to:
- 1. Search for BODY label, instead of assuming it is allways
- 12 bytes passed the GRAB label.
- 2. Only prints the data for the bit planes that are used in
- the Image, (Planes that are not all zero's), and sets
- the PlanePick variable in the Image structure accordingly.
- 3. Prints the entire colormap and labels which colors are
- used by the Image.
- 4. Adds the #include's needed, to the file, to allow you to
- compile it immediately.
- 5. Show the size of the Image data array, do that you know
- how many bytes of CHIP_MEM to Allocate in your program
- to render the Image. (Note the array size is in WORDs, in
- the outputed C file.)
