Short: A very quick image-in-a-window viewer Author: ben@bmatthew.demon.co.uk (Ben Matthew) Uploader: ben bmatthew demon co uk (Beb Matthew) Type: gfx/show Replaces: speedyview.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos SpeedyView 1.4 ==== Release notes ==== Changes since v1.3: * Adjusted decode routine to use half the memory needed (keeping DTobj alive) * Added keyboard options; Esc + Cursor controls * Adjusted with of scroller again to make arrows aligned correctly * Added startup message + option to turn it off. Please not that you MUST use the correct version of picture.datatype with this application. If running P96 use that V43 datatype clone only - not versions for Cybergraphics! + vice versa Not doing so will cause crashes! ==== What is it? ==== Basically it's a picture only version of MultiView! :) However, Sview works by calling ScrollRaster() and only blitting the extra bits of the image each time you scroll - unlike multiview which redraws the entire window - to get silky smooth scrolling (better than anything I've seen elsewhere). It's good for people with graphics cards. If you have no gfx card; look at FastView or ViewTek. However unlike CyberWindow (which is crap anyway) SView works under AGA as well. If, however, like me you have both pot loads of RAM and a Cgfx card this is MUCH faster than CyberWindow or Multiview. Like MView Sview works with the system datatypes but supports 24bit images as well (doesn't do anything nasty when blitting...) If you find any bugs or want to make a suggestion feel free to email me at: ben@bmatthew.demon.co.uk Note however that this isn't the project I'm working on - just a fortunate side-effect so I may not have a lot of time to do stuff.
