Programmer's Kit for Version 1.0
|
|
DeluxePaint Animation 10/24/90
|
|
by Electronic Arts
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
This kit has two uses:
|
|
|
|
1. It contains a program, ANIM2PCX.EXE, which is readily used to
|
|
(1) break an animation file into individual picture files for
|
|
each frame, or
|
|
(2) to join a group of picture files into an animation file for
|
|
editting in DPaint Animation or for playback with PLAY.EXE.
|
|
|
|
(PLAY.EXE is included in the DeluxePaint Animation package and may be
|
|
copied and distributed by anyone who has purchased DPaint Animation.)
|
|
|
|
The picture files are in the PCX format, which can be read by
|
|
DeluxePaint Animation, DeluxePaint II Enhanced and other paint programs,
|
|
and by desktop publishing programs and graphics-importing word processors.
|
|
|
|
For instructions on using the program as provided, type:
|
|
anim2pcx
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Since the source code for ANIM2PCX is included on this disk,
|
|
a C programmer can access animations from his/her own application,
|
|
or write a converter between the ANM format and some other format,
|
|
by including the subroutines required to read and write ".ANM" files.
|
|
You will need all the enclosed .C, .H, .ASM, .INC files,
|
|
except for PBIO.C and GIO.C (which are used to read/write PCX files),
|
|
and ANIM2PCX.C (which is the main program that you will replace with
|
|
your own code).
|
|
For example, to read the frames of an anim, you might write code
|
|
similar to "AnimFileToPCXFiles()" routine in ANIM2PCX.C
|
|
|
|
The only existing documentation on the ANM format
|
|
is in comments in LPFILE.C.
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
The source code for ANIM2PCX may be freely incorporated into
|
|
commercial programs.
