Short: Picture.datatype V43.762 for CGraphX Author: R.Schmidt, M.Scheler, F.Mariak Uploader: F Mariak ping de (Frank Mariak) Type: util/dtype Replaces: PictDT43.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos picture.datatype V43 Copyright 1995-97 Ralph Schmidt Additional libs/tools/changes by F.Mariak/M.Scheler Sub datatype classes by Matthias Scheler This version is a freely available picture.datatype that MUST ONLY be used with a licenced CyberGraphX(TM) software package when using non 8 bit screenmodes. It also works with the recently released V3 version of CyberGraphX and you are allowed to use it with this also. You aren't allowed to use this software with any non licenced CyberGraphX(TM) "emulation" in these modes. Usage of any of the included sub datatype classes with picture.datatype v43 clones needs permission from their respective authors. THE DATE EXPIRATION CODE HAS BEEN REMOVED. IT DOES NOT EXPIRE AFTER 4MONTH ANYMORE. cyberncg.library support for non CyberGraphX machines has been dropped. ****************************************************************************** Reporting bugs: If you find any bugs in this software, please send them to cybergfx.dtbugs@vgr.com.

If an area was selected within a picture object, the datatype always stored the complete object. Now it properly stores the selected area only. Release Notes 43.761 ==================== picture.datatype 43.761 o recompiled with SAS/C 6.58 o the picture.datatype now implements the DTM_REMOVEDTOBJECT method to release all resources not required anymore ilbm.datatype 43.10 o now supports loading of HAM8 pictures for ECS machines. gif.datatype 43.18 o This datatype is not included in the aminet release archive due to lzw patent problems. o supports a missing GIF89 feature now. Release Notes 43.760 ==================== picture.datatype 43.760 o bumped revision of picture.datatype to 760 PCDT Prefs 43.5 o a CTRL_C break now correctly removes the user interface, too. jfif.datatype 43.10 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert" pcx.datatype 43.6 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert" pbm.datatype 43.10 o descriptors modified to avoid problems with v45 datatypes.library o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert" ilbm.datatype 43.7 o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert" gif.datatype 43.17 This datatype is not included in the aminet release archive due to lzw patent problems. o modified dispatcher for better support of tools like "DTConvert" Release Notes 43.759 ==================== picture.datatype 43.759 o added DTM_OBTAINDRAWINFO and DTM_RELEASEDRAWINFO methods. This methods are needed for the new v45 datatypes.library. The code of this methods is loosely based on work of Roland Mainz (drawablepicdtc patch). With the inclusion of this 2 methods, v43 picture.datatype does not require the drawablepicdtc patch anymore. (DTM_DRAW was supported before already). Both methods are added to the list of supported methods, too. Please check out the latest datatypes.library v45 archive by Roland Mainz to get information on how this methods are used. o added DTM_DRAW to list of supported methods o method DTM_DRAW never really worked in previous picture.datatype v43 releases because the width/height of the object was always calculated wrong. Now fixed.
