Short: Morphing/Warping program OS3.0+ Author: mark@topic.demon.co.uk Uploader: mark topic demon co uk Type: gfx/edit Version: 4.8 Replaces: gfx/edit/MPMorph45.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos 4.8 MPRender now uses COLOURS parameter. Added full .html docs. Spelling mistakes and version fixed in MPImage.library. Reordered MPMorph catalog for easier localisation. Updated bugs. Added TODO list. Noted WWW support page. Version 4.7 Fixed enforcer hit in MPRender. Updated algorithms to indicate memory usage. Corrected version in Install script. Updated install script for cjpeg/djpeg to match standard usage. Fix to version 4.5 - MPGui.library can now be opened more than once. Fix to version 4.4 - should now work on OS3.0! + minor bug fix to Rexx/IndexHelp.MPM. $VER: MPMorph45.readme 4.6 (4.3.97) MPMorph is a set of morphing programs. It features full context sensitive indexed help files, an interactive tutorial, a full ARexx interface, and "real time" previewing. Full source is available. The render code should compile on a unix machine. Update of beta Version 4.3 Major Update of TSMorph (still available - use that for OS2.04/OS2.1) MPMorph is a set of morphing programs. It consists of two main programs: MPMorph Edit the Morph parameters MPRender Generate the morphed images MPMorph is used to create a parameter file which is used by MPRender to produce the morphed images. Run times can be about 3 seconds per frame for a 150x150 image on a 28Mhz 68040. MPRender can be used to either morph one (or a series of) image(s) to another in a set number of frames with a number of control points, or just distort one (or a series of) image(s) with control points. When MPRender is run without parameters it will display an ASL file requester for a file created by MPMorph, it will then create the images, displaying a Progress Requester on the default public (or named) screen allowing the process to be interrupted and/or stopped. ARexx scripts are run before and after each image is processed. These allow the changing of movement and colour to be controlled along with the ability to only generate some frames, and also post image processing (e.g. to change to a non-24-bit format and build an animation). MPMorph is used to generate the parameter file. When run it displays an Information Window on a public screen. This allows the input of the file names to morph between, the number of frames, the start frame, the output file names, and the type of morph (single or dual images) to be changed. It also allows the editing of control points on the images. The images are displayed on a public screen in resizeable, scrollable windows. When the images are displayed control points can be edited in various modes. These modes allow the addition, deletion, linking and unlinking of the control points. Context sensitive help is displayed using amigaguide. The 'Help' key can be pressed in the gadgets, over the gadgets, on menus or anytime a window is active. // MPMorph - Amiga Morphing program // Copyright (C) © 1993-97 Mark John Paddock // This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify // it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by // the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or // any later version. // This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, // but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of // MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
