AMIGA alive software: xiffview 0.4 (update)

IFF ILBM imageviewer xiffview for Linux computers has a couple of new features, one of which is a command mode that allows you to extract image data as C code for sprite creation.

If you're a C programmer and want to create sprites with your program, this might be interesting for you. xiffview now has a command that takes a couple of arguments, namely x and y coordinates, height, bitmap numbers and color indices, and saves image data from that region of the image to a C code file for use in your program.

Also xiffview now includes a "contrib" folder with a test pattern image for you to play with, and a generic Makefile kindly contributed by S. Haubenthal (thanks!).

And it now shows the image's palette below the image display.

See Readme-file included for more information.

You can download it from AmiNet:

AMIGA alive software: xiffview 0.2 - IFF ILBM picture viewer for Linux/X

Our third software release is out. It's xiffview v0.2, an X-windows app for Linux. Xiffview displays IFF ILBM pictures as created with DeluxePaint, PersonalPaint, and many other programs on the Amiga, in a window on your Linux X desktop.

Just a straightforward little image viewer program that was created to simplify the cross-compiling Amiga software developer's daily work. It supports simple palette based (2 to 256 colors) images only - no HAM, no animations, EHB might give weird results - and it's been tested only a little so far, so don't panic if some of your pictures don't look perfect on xiffview. It requires a true-color X screen to run on, is freeware, and the sourcecode is included.

See Readme-file included for more information.
