InterGif6/!InterGif/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

InterGif 6.01
=============
by Peter Hartley (K) All Rites Reversed
Desktop front-end adapted from one by Iain Logan
INTERGIF 6.01 is a program for making GIF images from 2-, 4-, 16-
or 256-colour RiscOS sprite files, or from Draw files, or from
files produced with Iota Software's (commercial) animation
program The Complete Animator. It can also convert from GIFs back
to sprites.
Get the latest version
----------------------
The latest version of InterGif, plus more help information and
full source code, is always available on the World-Wide Web at
the address
http://www.ant.co.uk/~peter/software/intergif.htm
It's the twenty-seventh of September, 1997, as I'm writing these
words: if it's long after that that you're reading them, you
might want to see if there's a later version now available.
Distribution
------------
InterGif is NOT COPYRIGHTED and is NOT distributed under the GNU
General Public Licence. For full information read the file
!InterGif.Copying or go to the Web site.
InterGif is mine: in particular, it doesn't belong to ANT
Limited. If it gets anything wrong, it's my problem, not theirs.
InterGif 6.01 contains (a small piece of) code developed by
the Independent JPEG Group. (The "Find best palette" routine, if
you must know.)
In order to convert Draw files you will need Acorn's Drawfile
module. This is not included in InterGif distributions, but is
available from
ftp://ftp.acorn.co.uk/
Features
--------
o InterGif runs either on the desktop, or from the command line
(so I can produce the GIFs for my own Web pages, from the
sprites which constitute their source, using a make file!).
o InterGif has options for the transparency and interleaving
features of GIF89a.
o InterGif can take a sprite file (or an Animator file)
containing several frames, and produce from it an animated
GIF which Netscape 2.0 or later, MSIE 3.0beta1 or later, or
ANT Fresco 1.22 or later will render as animated if it's
inlined in a Web page. The animation delay can be set
individually for each frame, or for the whole animation.
o InterGif will reduce its input to a smaller number of colours
(unless you explicitly tell it not to) if it can get away
with it, i.e. if only that many of the colours are used
anyway.
o It will also compress only the rectangle which has changed on
each frame, so if your animation has a complex but stationary
background, the background will only get compressed once.
Deviousness and cunning are employed to minimise the final
size of the GIF: so much so that many animated GIFs I've
found on the Web have ended up smaller when run through
InterGif.
o It can also make GIF images from Draw files. It uses, for
this, the same code that is in my AADraw program (see end),
which means it produces GIFs or sprites with a 216-colour
cube palette (as used on Macintoshes and by Netscape and MSIE
for Windows), *not* the standard Acorn 256-colour palette.
(For AADraw connoisseurs, I'll add that you don't get the -b
feature of that program: InterGif always anti-aliases to
white.)
o InterGif 6 lets you forcibly reduce a GIF's palette to the
standard Acorn 256-colour palette, or to a 216-entry colour
cube (as used on the Macintosh and by most Windows browsers),
or to a palette file you supply. Alternatively, it can
calculate the best palette for displaying the GIF, and then
reduce to that. (This is not the same as the colour reduction
InterGif has always had: it is lossy and you should keep
copies of your unmapped originals.)
Desktop use
-----------
Pretty straightforward. Run !InterGif; drag your sprite file,
Animator file, Draw file, or GIF onto the left-hand bit of the
window; set any options you want in the middle bit of the window;
and save your GIF or sprite file out from the right-hand bit of
the window. The options are:
o Interlaced
Produce an interlaced GIF: in other words, one which a Web
browser can render quickly at a low resolution, filling in the
details later as they arrive.
o Looping animation
Normally an animated GIF plays through once and stops. If
you tick this option, you'll get an animated GIF that plays
over and over again. This is a Netscape extension to the GIF
format, but hopefully it will become a popular one -- both
MSIE and Fresco now support it too.
o Join input files
This option causes InterGif to look for only one frame in
the file you give it, and then look for the next frame in
another file with the numeric part of the file incremented.
For instance, you could have three files called frame000,
frame001, and frame002 and create an three-frame animation by
dragging frame000 onto the InterGif window and choosing "Join
input files".
o Set delay
This lets you set the frame rate, in centiseconds. This
overrides any frame rate specified in the input file.
If this is *not* ticked, InterGif's output uses the
same frame rate as its input. You can change frame delays
individually in Animator files in the usual way (in Animator,
press F7) or in sprite files by giving the frames sprite
names with "delay" in them: for instance, a sprite called
"037delay25" will be given a delay of 25 centiseconds.
(Anything before the word "delay" is ignored.)
If you leave "Set delay" unticked, and the input file
doesn't specify frame delays, a default of 8 centiseconds per
frame (12.5 frames per second) is used.
Note that you can't have different delays for different
frames if you tick "Set delay"; if you want that, you have to
set it up in your sprite or Animator file.
o Transparency
Choose None to get a wholly opaque GIF (no masking), Auto to
get InterGif to use the sprites' masks (or the film's background
colour); or you can specify a transparent pixel-value directly.
(Hint: to find out what pixel-value a sprite pixel has, load the
sprite into Paint, ensure its palette window is showing, click
Menu over the pixel you want, and choose "Paint->Select colour".)
o Split output
This splits up the input file into one output file per frame.
Not, I admit, terribly useful, unless you need to import something
into an application that expects lots of one-frame GIFs -- for
instance, Sun's Java Animator applet. The names of the files are
taken from the one you give, with any numeric part incremented as
needed, so if you save a three-frame animation as frame001/gif,
you also get frame002/gif and frame003/gif.
o Web site
Clicking on this button takes you to my Web pages on ANT
Limited's server, as described above. For this to work, you need
to be connected to the Internet, and also have a Web browser
loaded which understands ANT's URL broadcast message -- for
example, Fresco or ArcWeb. (Probably the others too, these days.)
o Palette
This icon opens the Palette Options window, giving you the
following further options:
o Use existing
This does the same as previous versions of InterGif: it
discards palette entries that aren't actually used, but keeps
all the others.
o Acorn standard 256
o 216 cube
These map all colours in the input onto the nearest ones
in either the standard Acorn 256-colour "mode 15" palette, or
the Macintosh/PC standard 216-entry colour cube. This is
useful, for instance, for reducing the size of 256-greyscale
images.
o From file
You can also map colours to those in any Acorn palette
file (such as one saved from !Paint).
o Find best
This is the most powerful option: selecting this makes
InterGif calculate the optimal palette for displaying the
input images, and then map to that. You can tell it to
calculate any size palette from 2 to 256 entries. InterGif
uses the "median cut" algorithm to calculate the palette.
Command-line use
----------------
The !Boot file of !InterGif sets up Alias$intergif, so you no longer
need to copy the intergif file into your library directory.
At its simplest, you can just type intergif and the name of your
sprite or film file, and it'll be converted. Here's a full list of the
options:
intergif [-i] [-loop] [-s ] [-split] [-d cs] [-t [pixel]] [-join]
[-216 | -256 | -pal palfile | -best n ]
[-o outfile] infile
-i
Produce an interlaced GIF
-loop
Looping animation
-s
Produce a sprite rather than a GIF
-join

-split
One frame per file
-d cs

-t
Use automatic transparency (default is no transparency)
-t pixel
Use specified pixel as transparent
-216
Map to Macintosh/PC colour-cube palette
-256
Map to Acorn mode 15 palette
-pal palfile
Map to given palette
-best n
Find best n-colour palette and map to that (2<=n<=256)
-o outfile
Filename for the output (default is <infile>/gif)
infile
A RiscOS sprite, Draw, Complete Animator or GIF file
