Re: [MiNT] Cool new AES features
Hi,
[Off topic ON]
Evan Langlois a écrit :
Truecolor desktop backgrounds in many image formats doing whatever
conversions necessary via zview.
I don't know if zview is the right idea. There are lots of graphics
libraries capable of manipulating a huge number of file formats and
doing smooth resizing.
Imagemagik or others GNU gfx libraries? I hope that you are joking...
Do you want to use static and unoptimised libraries that take about 10
Mb of disk space ( minimum) without the "image to screen" convertion
code? Do you have forgot that we are on Atari?
And please, don't talk about image format; zview beta 6 will support
JPG, GIF, (X)IMG, degas, neochrome, Eureka, godpaint, animated format (
currently only animated Gif), TGA, BMP, TIFF ( all, even the multipage
ones), PNG with alpha layer, Postscript 1, 2, 3 and even the PDF 1.5.
It's not Gimp but I thing that it's no so bad for a sofware in beta stage.
I'd prefer the OS to support it so that there is
a better chance of hardware acceleration in the future and less
redundant code in the applications.
You prefer that OS support what ? Image decoding? what do you mean?
Hardware acceleration? Zview uses already the DSP and when the
supervidel will be available, I will use the provided DCT acceleration.
Redundant code? the codecs are shareable and useable by everyone where
is the redundant code?
