Translator 6.44 ---------------------------
This program is SHAREWARE
Version date : 25 Apr 1991 ---------------------------
please refer to the end of this guide
----------------
- Introduction -
----------------
Translator is a powerful tool that will convert and process image files from
other computers.
Translator will give you access to the enormous amount of graphics images
created on other computers. Powerful image processing options are available
to produce special effects and/or enhance the quality of images.
---------------------
- Supported formats -
---------------------
The image file formats that are supported are summed up below.
- The 'Name' field gives the name of the format.
- The 'Pixels' field gives the resolution of the image format in pixels.
A '-' entry means there is no fixed resolution, i.e. several resolutions
are possible.
- The 'Colours' field gives the number of colour bits used (i.e. 4 means 16
colours, 8 means 256 colours, etc.), and a suffix 'c' for colour images,
'm' for monochrome images. Images with <=8 colour bits are 'palette' images,
i.e. have a colour lookup table. Images with >8 colour bits are pure colour
images and contain seperate Red, Green and Blue components per pixel.
- The 'Comments' field gives further special information.

-------------------------
- Using the application -
-------------------------
To start up Translator, either :
- Double-click on the '!Translatr' icon.
- Double-click on an image file, after !Translator has been seen by the filer
(only for image types in the &690 range). This will auto-load the image
that was clicked on.
It will install itself on the icon bar, and clicking MENU on Translator's icon
will give the usual 'Info' and 'Quit' options. Clicking SELECT or ADJUST will
pop up the options menu, but most options will not be selectable at this stage.
Loading an image can be done in three ways :
a) by dragging the image file to the Translator icon on the icon bar
b) by dragging the image file to the image window (when an image is loaded)
c) by double-clicking on an image file (not for 'native' Archimedes formats,
to ensure that the originating programs (when loaded) 'catch' these files,
not Translator)
NOTE : The ArVis Videographics format consists of two sprite files per image,
of which one resides in a directory named 'HIP', the other in a directory
called 'LOP' (both at the same directory level). To load an ArVis image, drag
the sprite file in the 'HIP' directory to Translator (i.e. a or b).
Image files should be filetyped appropiately to be recognized by Translator.
The following filetypes are used by Translator (the filetypes in the range
&690-&6xx are new filetypes, mainly used for foreign formats) :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filetype Name Image file type/origin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

&FC9 !* SunRastr SUN Microsystems
&FF0 !* TIFF TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
&FF9 Sprite Standard Archimedes sprite file (or ArVis, see above)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A '*' indicates which filetypes also load by method c) (see above).
A '!' indicates which filetypes can be recognized and loaded without having
the correct filetype. You can choose to give these files the correct filetype
yourself, or leave them as they are. Every 'new' filetype (in the &690 range)
is represented in filer windows by its own icon.
There are two sets of icons, one set for mode 20 and one for mode 12 (default).
The mode 20 icons are more detailed, and can be selected as the default by
renaming !Sprites to !Sprites12, and then renaming !Sprites20 to !Sprites.
When succesfully processed, the image will appear in a resizable, scrollable
window.
-----------------
- The main menu -
-----------------
Clicking MENU on the image window (when an image is loaded) or clicking
SELECT or ADJUST on the iconbar icon will pop up the main menu. All menu
items are explained in detail below.
--------------
| Image info |
--------------
This icon gives access to an information window, in which the resolution,
compression technique, filename, etc. of the image is displayed.
----------
| Pop up |
----------
This icon gives access to a submenu in which options can be set that influence
the way that the image first appears on-screen when succesfully processed.
----------------------
| Pop up | Auto mode |
----------------------
Toggles the 'Auto mode' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked) Translator will select the
most suitable mode for display of the image. When OFF, you must choose a mode
yourself.
-------------------------
| Pop up | Auto palette |
-------------------------
Toggles the 'Auto palette' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked) Translator will select
the image's palette (see 'Image palette') automatically when the image first
appears in its window, and after every mode change. When OFF, the palette
remains unchanged.
----------------------
| Pop up | Auto zoom |
----------------------
Toggles the 'Auto zoom' flag. When ON, Translator will attempt to zoom out
(never *in* though) on the image so that it fits entirely on the current
mode's screen when the image first appears in its window.
----------------------
| Pop up | View mode |
----------------------
Toggles the 'View mode' flag. When ON, then when the image window is closed,
the 'start mode' is automatically re-selected. This 'start mode' is set to
the current mode when loading a new image without one already loaded.
---------------------
| Pop up | Mode set |
---------------------
This icon gives access to a submenu of 'mode sets'.
When one of these mode sets is 'active' (the default is none), the mode for
display of the image (see 'Auto mode') will be selected from this mode set.
Each mode set consists of four mode numbers, which are the modes to be
selected as the required 2,4,16 and 256 colour mode.
There are two standard sets : 'Normal' (modes 0,8,12 and 15, i.e. all 640x256
pixels) can be used on all monitors, 'Multisync' (modes 18,19,20 and 21, i.e.
all 640x512 pixels) is for users of multisync monitors only. A third set is
user-definable and must contain the four required mode numbers seperated by
comma's. Selecting 'None' in this submenu will switch off the mode set option
(so, when 'auto mode' is on, the 'closest' mode will be selected).
-----------
| Process |
-----------
This icon gives access to a submenu in which options can be set that influence
the way in which the input image is processed.
--------------------
| Process | Colour |
--------------------
This icon leads to a submenu in which options can be set that affect the
processing of the input image's colours.
--------------------------------------
| Process | Colour | Black and white |
--------------------------------------
Toggles the 'Black and white' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked), Translator
changes all the image's colours to their closest greyvalues.
------------------------------------
| Process | Colour | Correct gamma |
------------------------------------
This icon gives access to the gamma correction factor. It is usually 1
(default) meaning that no gamma correction is applied to input colours.
When any other value is entered, the input colours will be 'gamma corrected'
by Translator, and this icon will be ticked. Clicking on this icon itself
will reset the gamma correction factor to the default value of 1.
Gamma correction is needed for most 'raw' scanner input, as this input
usually has a linear scale of intensity values for red, green and blue. This
has to be corrected for display, as the phosfors on the tube of display units
do not have a linear response curve for applied voltage (i.e. intensity) versus
brightness, but rather one of brightness=constant*voltage^gamma.
A gamma of 1.5 is a suitable value for most situations, but you can experiment
freely with values between (say) 1 and 4, to see which setting gives the best
results.
------------------------------------
| Process | Colour | Correct black |
------------------------------------
This icon gives access to the black correction factor. It is usually 0
(default). When it is any other value, this icon is ticked, and a black
correction is applied to the image colours. Clicking on this icon itself will
reset the black correction factor to the default value of 0.
Black correction simply adds the value (which may be a +ve or -ve integer
between -255 and 255) to the 8-bit red, green and blue components of the
image's colours. This effectively adds/subtracts an amount of 'white' to/from
the image's colours (i.e. a +ve value makes the image lighter, and a -ve value
makes the image darker). Using a negative value may, for example, be useful to
correct some digitised or scanned images, where areas of black on the original
turn out too light in the device's output. A positive value may be used to
lighten up dark images.
-----------------------------------
| Process | Colour | Expand range |
-----------------------------------
Toggles the 'Expand range' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked), the range of the red,
green and blue components of the image's colours will be (equally) expanded to
the full range of 0-255. This will make the image 'lighter' (in fact, it gives
the image its maximum contrast).
The image info window will show the input image's intensity range, and the
percentage that this represents of the full 0-255 range.
NOTE 1 : For images that contain no palette (i.e. all 'pure' RGB images), it
is necessary for Translator to make an extra 'pass', to determine the range
of intensities present in the image. For 'paletted' images, the range can
be calculated from the palette, and no extra pass is necessary.
NOTE 2 : Set black correction to 0 when using this option. As the intensity
range is already maximised by the range expansion, any extra correction will
cause colour detail to be lost.
-------------------------------------
| Process | Colour | RGB resolution |
-------------------------------------
This icon gives access to a window in which the amount of red, green and blue
in the input image's colours may be reduced.
The slider values for red, green and blue represent the number of bits (0-8)
of the corresponding primary colour that are 'let through' in the final image.
You can drag the sliders to change the number of bits (a full bar is 8 bits).
For example, red=8, green=0, blue=0 will give a red seperation of the input
image, i.e. only the red components of the colours are let through. Depending
on how many bits are reserved for each of the primary colours in each graphics
format (mostly 8 bits giving 24-bit RGB, but sometimes 4 bits or less), a
large range of colour effects and colour seperations can be achieved.
This option also makes it possible to filter out noise bits from 24-bit RGB
input, by setting all the sliders to 6 or 7. This makes it easier to compress
these images, and rarely degrades image quality.
---------------------------------
| Process | Colour | Invert RGB |
---------------------------------
Toggles the 'Invert RGB' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked), all the input image's
colours will 'inverted' (in fact, the red, green and blue components of the
colours are inverted seperately). This results in 'negative' images for both
colour and black and white images.
This may be useful to correct monochrome images which have the black/white
colours 'reversed'. It is also useful to create colour effects.
---------------------------
| Process | Sprite output |
---------------------------
This icon leads to a submenu in which options can be set which affect the
sprite that is built from the input image.
-----------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output mode |
-----------------------------------------
The output mode for the sprite may be freely chosen. This icon gives access
to a submenu, in which one of two choices of output mode may be selected.
------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output mode | Auto |
------------------------------------------------
When this icon is selected (i.e. ticked), Translator will determine the
best possible output sprite's mode (and palette).
For example, for pure RGB and 256 colour images, a 256 colour mode (with at
least the required resolution) will be chosen for output, whereas if the
image has 5-16 colours, or 3-4, or 1-2, a 16, 4 or 2 colour mode respectively.
The 'Auto' setting is the default setting.
---------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output mode | Current |
---------------------------------------------------
When this icon is selected (i.e. ticked), the current mode will always
be used as the output sprite's mode.
This can be useful when you need to have a sprite defined in a specific mode.
For example, if you wish to create a desktop icon based on some image, you
would select a 16-colour mode and select this option.
When this icon is ticked, the 'Output palette' icon also gives you control
over the output palette (see its discussion below).
It is advisable to always use some form of error spreading (see 'Error
spreading'), so you will still reach a result as close as possible to the
original, given the possibly limited number of colours and a non-ideal
palette that has been chosen.
--------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output palette |
--------------------------------------------
This icon gives access to a submenu in which a choice for the output sprite's
palette may be made.
NOTE : This is only effective when 'Current' is selected in the 'Output mode'
submenu, as when 'Auto' is selected, Translator determines the best possible
output palette.
------------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output palette | Current |
------------------------------------------------------
When this icon is selected (i.e. ticked), the current palette is used for
the output image.
Usually this is the desktop palette (ideal for creating icons), but by loading
a palette file or by manipulating the palette by hand (via the palette
utility), any palette may be chosen. In 256 colour modes the palette can only
be changed to a limited extent (consult the Programmers Reference Manuals).
There are some example palette files for 16 colour modes in the 'Palette16'
directory. These contain palettes that divide the 4 available colourbits
between red, green and blue (i.e. 2,1,1 or 1,2,1 or 1,1,2 respectively),
and one palette with 1 bit red, blue, green and 'tint' (amount of white).
------------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output palette | Default |
------------------------------------------------------
When this icon is selected (i.e. ticked), the current mode's default palette
is used in the output sprite (as following a VDU20).
NOTE : In 16 colour modes, the upper eight 'flashing' colours are not used.
--------------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Output palette | Greyscale |
--------------------------------------------------------
When this icon is selected (i.e. ticked), a greyscale from black up to
full white will be used.
This may be especially useful for black and white input images.
NOTE : This option does not work in 256 colour modes, as it is impossible to
set a 256-level greyscale palette in these modes. Instead the default palette
will be used.
---------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Error spreading |
---------------------------------------------
This icon gives access to a submenu, in which Translator can be set to use
one of two kinds of error spreading, or none. This icon is 'ticked' if any
of the available kinds of error spreading is enabled.
When error spreading is enabled, errors made by the approximation of the input
image's colours are spread out (locally) over the image. This usually results
in images with a much higher quality, so you will usually leave some kind of
error spreading on (Floyd-Steinberg at best).
When you switch off error spreading, only the best approximations to colours
are used, and the errors made in this process will be completely ignored. You
may want to do this to compare results.
There are two choices of error spreading available, which differ in the way
they spread the approximation errors.
------------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Error spreading | Simple |
------------------------------------------------------
This spreads out the errors along the same pixel row only. In fact, it gives
one of its neighbor pixels the full error factor, as follows :
------------------------------------------
| | Current pixel | full error |
------------------------------------------
This is the fastest of the two, and gives very good results.
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Error spreading | Floyd Steinberg |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Floyd Steinberg error spreading, first discovered by R.W. Floyd and L.
Steinberg, spreads the errors more intelligently. It divides the error
factors among four neighbor pixels (instead of one), as follows :
-------------------------------------------------
| | Current pixel | 7/16 of error | <-- current line
-------------------------------------------------
| 3/16 of error | 5/16 of error | 1/16 of error | <-- next line
-------------------------------------------------
The results are usually better than when using 'Simple' error spreading, but
to which degree depends heavily on the type of input image. Digitised images
will usually benefit much less than 'hand-drawn' images. The only penalty of
this error spreading technique is that it is computationally more expensive
than 'Simple' error spreading, so you'll have to wait a few seconds longer.
---------------------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Error spreading | Off |
---------------------------------------------------
Clicking on this icon switches off all error spreading. Colours are
approximated using the 'closest' available colour only.
-------------------------------------
| Process | Sprite output | Zig zag |
-------------------------------------
Toggles the 'Zig zag' flag. When ON, and error spreading is also ON, every
other image line will be plotted in the opposite direction, i.e. left to
right, then right to left, then left to right again, etc..
This reduces the chances of patterning effects in the final image. Sometimes,
however, the effect is not so pleasing, which is why you may switch it off.
When OFF, lines are always plotted from left to right.
--------------------------
| Process | Clear output |
--------------------------
This icon gives access to a file window, in which a Clear file may be 'opened'
by dragging the filetype icon to a filer window. When a Clear file has been
opened in this way, this icon will be ticked.
By clicking on this icon, Clear output is cancelled and the last opened Clear
file (which is always empty at this stage) is deleted.
Refer to 'Clear files' for more information.
---------------------
| Process | Scaling |
---------------------
This icon gives access to a submenu with a further submenu leading to the 'x'
(width) and 'y' (height) scaling factors. There are two ways to specify a
scaling.
- The absolute form
This is entered as 'multiplier:divisor'. Any subsequently loaded image will
be scaled by the ratio defined by multiplier/divisor. For example, when
subsequently loading two images with resolutions of 640x512 and 100x200
pixels, then a scaling of '1:2' for both x and y will result in images that
are 320x256 and 50x100 pixels respectively.
- The relative form
This is entered as 'multiplier'. Any subsequently loaded image will be scaled
by multiplier/ires, where ires is the resolution of the loaded image. This
will always result in images which are exactly 'multiplier' pixels high and/or
wide. For example, the aforementioned images of 640x512 and 100x200 pixels,
when setting x to '80' and y to '40', will both come out as 80x40 pixels. When
using this form, the scaling ratio will re-appear as, e.g., '80:x' and '40:y',
to make clear that the actual scaling ratios depend on the resolution of
the input image itself.
It is perfectly possible to use the relative form for one of x and y, and the
absolute form for the other.
- Miscellaneous
When scaling is active (i.e. not 1:1), the 'Scaling' icon will be ticked.
Clicking on the '1:1' icon will reset the scaling factors (both x and y 1:1),
while clicking on any of the remaining icons will select a preset scaling for
both x and y (i.e. 1:2, 2:1, etc.).
When scaling without error spreading being active, obviously pixels are simply
discarded (when scaling down) or duplicated (when scaling up). Usually, in
this case, you can do the scaling equally well by using the scaling options of
the save functions (which do exactly the same).
However, when error spreading is active, you are likely to get a much better
quality if you pre-scale the image (by setting the appropiate scaling factors
here) and THEN save it (in full). This is because, after error spreading,
every pixel's 'neighbors' usually contain a correction for this pixel's true
colour. When scaling down/up with the 'Save' or 'Zoom' options, you just
lose or duplicate these 'neighbor' pixels and the error spreading effect may
be either completely lost (when scaling down, because the corrections in
the discarded pixels are lost) or not optimal (when scaling up, because all
the duplicated pixels could have been used to more finely spread errors).
------------------
| Process | Misc |
------------------
This icon leads to a submenu in which miscellaneous options can be set.
------------------------------------
| Process | Misc | Screen blanking |
------------------------------------
Toggles the 'Screen blanking' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked), the screen will be
blanked while processing an image.
This considerably speeds up processing, especially when working in high
resolution modes (with consequently high video DMA overheads). When it is OFF
(default), the screen will not be blanked while unpacking (so you'll have to
wait a bit longer).
-----------------------------
| Process | Misc | GIF scan |
-----------------------------
Toggles the 'GIF scan' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked), GIF files are scanned to
count the number of pictures in them.
This number will then appear in the image information. When the GIF file
contains more than one image (which is rare!), you may select any one of them
by using the 'Image number' option (see below). When OFF, GIF files are not
scanned, and are assumed to contain a single image (which is usually true).
This has the advantage of substantially reducing the loading time. The image
info will reflect the unknown number of images in the file by displaying a '?'
instead an image count.
---------------------------------
| Process | Misc | Image number |
---------------------------------
Entering a number in the submenu of this icon enables selection of one of
several images in an image file. Entering 'n' will select the 'n'th image in
the file.
Image files that may contain more than one image are GIF files, Archimedes
sprite files and Zeridaj Video Digitiser Animation files. When this is the
case, the image info window will indicate this (but for GIF files only when
the 'GIF scan' flag is ON).
When the nth image is not present, Translator will complain (except when
dealing with GIF files and the 'GIF scan' flag is OFF).
Clicking on this icon itself will reset the image number to its default value
of 1.
-------------------------------
| Process | Misc | Next image |
-------------------------------
Reloads last image file, after incrementing 'Image number' (see above). This
enables fast access to all the images in an input file (e.g. a sprite file).
-----------------------------------
| Process | Misc | Previous image |
-----------------------------------
Reloads last image file, after decrementing 'Image number' (see above). This
enables fast access to all the images in an input file (e.g. a sprite file).
-------------------------------
| Process | Misc | Percentage |
-------------------------------
Toggles the 'Percentage' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked), the hourglass shows a
percentage indicating the amount of image lines that has been processed so
far.
--------------
| Manipulate |
--------------
This icon gives access to a submenu of several options to manipulate the
output sprite after the input image has been processed.
-----------------------
| Manipulate | Rotate |
-----------------------
This will rotate the output sprite clockwise by 90 degrees. This may be
convenient with high-and-narrow images (especially on normal monitors), so
more of the image can be on-screen without you having to use the scroll bars.
-----------------------
| Manipulate | Mirror |
-----------------------
This icon gives access to two mirror options. Clicking on 'x' will mirror the
output sprite horizontally, while 'y' will mirror it vertically.
-----------
| Examine |
-----------
This icon gives access to a submenu of options with which the output sprite
can be examined more closely.
------------------
| Examine | Zoom |
------------------
This icon gives access to a submenu of zoom options. These can be used to
zoom in or out on the output sprite.
---------------------------
| Examine | Zoom | In/Out |
---------------------------
These icons give access to zoom in and zoom out options respectively. Zooming
takes place in steps of 2 (i.e. 2 times, 4 times, 8 times enlarged/reduced,
etc.). By clicking one of the icons given in their submenu's, zooming can be
performed in x ('x') or y ('y') directions individually, or both at the same
time ('Both').
------------------------
| Examine | Zoom | 1:1 |
------------------------
Clicking this icon will reset the zoom factors to 1 (i.e. the output sprite
is neither enlarged nor reduced).
-----------------------
| Examine | Magnifier |
-----------------------
Clicking on this icon pops up the magnifier window. The magnifier window shows
a (magnified) part of the output sprite. It enables you to examine areas of
the output sprite with ease.
By clicking either SELECT or ADJUST within the image window, the area around
the point clicked on will appear in the magnifier window, with this point
itself in the middle. You can shift through the image simply by holding the
button down and moving the pointer.
The magnifier window starts up at 1:1 magnification. The magnification may
be increased by clicking SELECT or decreased by clicking ADJUST, within the
magnifier window. The MENU button will select 1:1 magnification.
--------
| Misc |
--------
This icon gives access to a submenu with miscellaneous options.
----------------------
| Misc | Reload last |
----------------------
Reloads last image file. May be convenient when, for example, the original
filer window is no longer on-screen, or just for speed when experimenting
with one image.
------------------------
| Misc | Image Palette |
------------------------
Clicking on this icon (re-)selects the palette of the output sprite.
The output sprite's palette is selected by default when the 'Auto palette'
flag is on, both after the image has been processed, and after changing
screen mode.
NOTE : selecting the output sprite's palette may make things badly (or not
at all) visible (e.g. menu's, etc.). Re-selecting the image's palette may
be necessary after using the desktop's palette utility (e.g. 'Default') or
when some other application has changed the palette.
---------------
| Misc | Save |
---------------
This icon gives access to a submenu of options to save the output sprite.
----------------------
| Misc | Save | Full |
----------------------
This will save the whole output sprite as a single-sprite file, exactly as it
is stored internally (i.e. without losing any pixels).
The palette saved in the sprite file (when the 'include palette' flag is ON)
will always be the palette of the output sprite itself (not the current one,
as with the other 'saves', see below).
Saving is done by dragging the sprite file icon in the 'Save as' window to
a directory viewer or to another application.
---------------------------------------------------------
| Misc | Save | Whole/Whole (scaled)/Part/Part (scaled) |
---------------------------------------------------------
These will save the output sprite a-la *SCREENSAVE.
The output sprite is displayed on the *current* mode's screen, using the
*currently* selected palette, after which an editable part of the on-screen
image may be saved to a sprite file.
By selecting one of the four 'saves', you can choose to post-scale the output
sprite (the '(scaled)' saves will let you do this), and/or to cut out a
specific piece of the output sprite (the 'Part' saves will let you do this,
the 'Whole' saves won't).
NOTE : The palette saved (if the 'include palette' flag is ON) will be the
*current* one, i.e. a la *SCREENSAVE.
While scaling and/or cutting, the mouse pointer will continuously show the
size of the scaled or cut-out output sprite in pixels, or the pixel
coordinate of the top left corner of a cut-out.
Saving is done by dragging the sprite file icon in the 'Save as' window (which
appears *before* any scaling or cutting is done) to a directory viewer or to
another application.
---------------------------------
| Misc | Save | Include palette |
---------------------------------
Toggles the 'Include palette' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked) any spite file saved
(see above) will include an appropiate palette. When OFF, the sprite file will
be saved without a palette.
-------------------------------
| Misc | Save | Same leafname |
-------------------------------
Toggles the 'Same leafname' flag. When ON (i.e. ticked) the input file's
leafname (i.e. the last part of its filename) will appear as the default
filename in the file-save window. This may be convenient.
-----------------
| Misc | Status |
-----------------
This icon gives access to a submenu of status handling functions. A 'status'
consists of (most of) the current flags and other settings, such as the
error spreading flag, the black and white flag, the gamma correction factor,
the current mode set, etc etc..
Clicking on 'Save' will save the current internal status in Translator's
status file. This file (when present) is always loaded on startup, or
explicitly by using the 'Load' option (to override the current internal
status). The 'Kill' option will remove the status file, so the 'standard'
defaults will be used when Translator is started up.
-----------------
- The hourglass -
-----------------
The hourglass is normally displayed when any processing is done.
When the 'Percentage' flag is on, a percentage will indicate the amount of
image lines that has been processed so far.
In addition, during image processing, the top 'LED' will be 'on' when data
is being loaded from disc. It will be 'off' when processing is taking place.
---------------
- Clear files -
---------------
Translator can output its own graphics file format, called 'Clear' (filetype
&690). I devised this (simple to use) new filetype because of several
shortcomings of the Archimedes and sprite files :
- Too few colours : pure RGB input (Amiga IFF HAM, QRT, ArVis) at best ends
up in a 256 colour sprite on which error spreading has been applied. A lot
of the image's colour resolution is lost.
- Too few R/G/B bits : the resolution of the Archimedes red, green and blue
colour DAC's is only 4 bits, so it can't display more, and sprites can't
*effectively* store more. This means that any extra bits (>4) of red, green
and blue colour definition in input images is lost.
- Palette restrictions : because it is not possible to freely define all 256
colours in 256 colour modes, input images with more than 16 colours (which
end up in 256-colour sprites) will practically always need error spreading.
This again loses colour definition.
Without being able to output a 'fully accurate' filetype, it would thus be
impossible, in most cases, to retain the full colour resolution of input
images. This may be essential if the images that Translator can read are to
be put to more serious use, for example image manipulation, or conversion to
other formats (refer to my other application !Creator).
Also, I envisaged that it should be very easy to extract the image data from
this 'fully accurate' format, so people can quickly and easily write simple
programs to process it (i.e. no compression, no 'pixel value packing', etc.).
The 'Clear' graphics format was devised because of all this, and holds either
pure 24-bit RGB data or byte-wide pixel values with a 24-bit RGB palette (one
entry per pixel value).
The full format is as follows (the descriptions are necessarily 'formal' to
avoid misinterpretation, the format is actually extremely simple) :
Offset Bytes Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 m String (e.g. 'Translator') to indicate the maker, or some
other comment (e.g. date, image contents, whatever)
m 1 0 (string terminator)
m+1 4 Version number *100 (or any other informational value)
m+5 4 Width of image in pixels (w)
m+9 4 Height of image in pixels (h)
m+13 4 Bits per pixel (bpp)
If 1<=bpp<=8, then 24-bit palette entries for all colours
follow (i.e. n=3*2^bpp, and l (bytes per pixel) is 1).
If bpp>8, then pure 24-bit RGB is stored, which needs no
palette (i.e. n=0, and l (bytes per pixel) is 3)
m+17 n Palette entries for all colours (only if 1<=bpp<=8), which
are triples of byte values (0=off, up to 255=full intensity),
one byte per primary colour, red first, then green, then blue.
For example, when 'Rx','Gx' and 'Bx' represent the intensities
of red, green and blue respectively for colour x, the palette
for 4 colours (bpp=2) would be stored :
R0,G0,B0, R1,G1,B1, R2,G2,B2, R3,G3,B3.
m+17+n w*h*l Pixel values, representing the image rows from top to bottom
and within every row the pixels from left to right.
If l=1, every pixel value is a byte representing the colour
number/index.
If l=3 (pure 24-bit RGB), data is stored like the palette
entries, i.e. red first, then green, finally blue, all
byte values (0-255) representing the intensity of the
corresponding primary colour for that pixel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case of pure 24-bit RGB storage (i.e. bpp>8), bpp represents the
bits of RGB resolution of the original image (i.e. 12 for Amiga IFF HAM mode,
15 for ArVis and 24 for QRT currently). If there are less than 8 bits per
primary colour, lower bits are set to 0 (but do not try to deduce how
many per primary colour if you don't know what the original image was).
For example, in the case of�ArVis' 15 bits RGB (5 bits each for red, green
and blue), the lower three bits of red, green and blue for each pixel are set
to 0 when Translator creates the Clear file.
When 1<=bpp<=8, only the lower 2^bpp pixel values of the 256 available
are used.
Clear files are always 'pure' representations of the input images, i.e.
they represent the image exactly 'as it is'. They are thus independent of
Archimedes mode and palette, error spreading, etc.. Their palettes (if any)
are full scale 24-bit RGB, as calculated *after* applying all colour
manipulating options (which are all in the 'Colour' submenu) to the input
inage's colours. To have an exact reflection of the input image in the Clear
file, you would switch off all these options.
IMPORTANT NOTE : When the 'Black and white' option is ON, then where an RGB
(i.e. non-paletted) Clear file would normally result (with R=G=B), instead
a grey-paletted 8-bit Clear file is output. This is to save space, and to
enable easier conversion to formats that do not support non-paletted images
(i.e. GIF).
The image inside the Clear file will also have been scaled as appropiate,
so that you may easily create Clear files of, for example, a specified number
of pixels.
-----------------------
- Memory requirements -
-----------------------
Translator starts up taking a minimum amount of RAM. As and when images
are loaded/discarded, extra memory is claimed/released, as follows :
- When an image is loaded, all available memory is grabbed (to ensure maximum
file buffer sizes), and an attempt is made to load the image. When there is
too little memory available, Translator will complain. After loading (which
may or may not be succesful), all memory that is not needed anymore (i.e. all
but the internal image sprite) is returned to the system.
- When an image is discarded, i.e. by closing the image window, the memory
taken up by the internal image sprite is also released.
This memory allocation strategy ensures that
a) all available memory is used to speed up processing
b) Translator runs in the minimum amount of memory needed
c) you do not need to worry about how much memory to allocate to Translator
when you start it up
---------------------
- Mode independence -
---------------------
When the 'ideal' mode for display if the output sprite cannot be selected
(usually because of screen memory shortage), a beep will sound and Translator
will try succesively lower resolution modes with the right number of colours
(as, within the WIMP environment, there is, at present, no secure way of
finding out how much memory can and will be allocated to the screen).
Once an image has been created, it can, in principle, be displayed in any
mode. In modes with the 'wrong' number of colours, Translator attempts to
display the image as well as possible, as follows :
- If the number of available colours is larger than the required number of
colours for the output sprite, the 'lower' part of the palette is set (<=16
colour modes) or (256 colour modes) the standard palette is set and the
closest available standard colours are selected.
- If there are too few colours (i.e. only in <=16 colour modes), the number
of colours is reduced by using an algorithm called Heckbert quantization.
This intelligently determines a set of colours (and a mapping from the image
colours to this set) so that the total error made over the whole image is
close to minimal. This usually gives acceptable results.
----------------
- Sprite files -
----------------
Archimedes sprites may not have a palette. If they don't, the standard
palette setting in the sprite's mode is assumed.
Also, if the mode contained in the sprite is a valid one (i.e. it is a
valid WIMP mode and it is available on your monitor), then this is used by
default. If the mode is not valid, then the 'closest' mode is determined
and used as usual.
----------------------
- Creator & GreyEdit -
----------------------
These applications, which were also written by me, are essential companions
to Translator.
Creator creates a number of (mainly foreign) graphics formats, accepting
Clear files and sprite files as input. It can create GIF, TIFF, AIM and
PBMPlus formats at present. This enables you to port images to a large
number of other computer platforms.
GreyEdit can process and edit 256-level greyscale (digitized) images. In
addition it can grab video images from the Zeridajh Video Digitiser podule,
when this is present. Several extremely fast filter algorithms, histogram
equalization, range expansion and inversion may be applied to whole images.
In addition, noise pixels may be edited by hand, and sides of images may be
cut off, optionally aided by zoom functions for precise editing.
Creator and GreyEdit are available from the address mentioned below and
are part of my shareware image processing package.
