Short: akSVG-dt (SVG [SView], 68000-060) Author: Andreas R. Kleinert Uploader: info ar-kleinert de Type: util/dtype Version: 45.91 Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.1.0; ppc-morphos >= 1.4.5 (68000/020/030/040/060 versions inside) akSVG.datatype - DONATION WARE - © 1995-2008 by Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Kleinert. All rights reserved. Needs Kickstart V3.1 (NOT 3.0) & SetPatch 43.x & Pic-Dt 43.x Program information ------------------- This datatype supports reading of SVG Graphics Files, which is SView-Library's (deprecated) own 8/24/48 bit graphics file format with XPK and PP20 support. Alpha channel (32/64 bit) is supported in V43 mode. The internal precision of the file format allows for 8 and 16 bit per channel (24/48 bits per pixel) - currently this is always scaled down to 8 bit prior to datatype export. SVG means "SView Graphics". SVG was the predecessor of IFF-RGFX. SVG must NOT be mixed up with the "Scalable Vector Graphics" Format of the W3C (http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG) SVG supports compression of graphics with any available XPK packer as well as plain uncompressed files. It is a very fast, smart and amiga-based alternative to other non-lossy 8/24/48 Bit file formats (surely IFF-RGFX is even smarter). Includes: - Conversion tool "AnyToSVG" for conversion DT->SVG (with V43 support for 24 Bit conversion) - File Format Description of SVG WARNING: if the pic-dt of your OS version does not support alpha channel handling, then always set STRIPALPHA=ON (no ARGB/RGBA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should use the included preferences program for best configuration.
