Hello! I have some digitized pictures, and unfortunatly they are quite nice but sideways on my screen. Rather then rotate my monitor, does anyone know of a way to rotate an IFF image 90 degrees? Well, as long as I'm asking... does anyone know a way to call an IFF image to just appear within a window (i.e. the window you typed the command into?) Thank you for help, I hope these questions aren't TOO silly. :-) ------------ Sandy Antunes "the Waupelani Kid" 'cause that's where I live... antunes@astro.psu.edu CBA: Center for Bad Astrophysics ------ "I was only dreaming..." ------

Rotating an image by 90 degrees is straight forward, but then you'll have to adjust for the fact that Amiga pixels aren't sqaure so the resulting rotated image will appear quite stretched. I don't know of other programs that will thoroughly handle this, but you can look forward to ASDG's ``The Art Department'' coming in March. -- Perry Kivolowitz, ASDG Inc. ``We look for things.

The only silly ones are the ones you don't ask... I don't know of any way to display an IFF in a console window. I do know that if you've got dpaint, you can load an IFF, cut it as a brush, rotate the brush 90 degrees, and save the file.

This stuff does an incredible jod of folding/spindleing/mutilating bitmaps of any format (almost) and can do many NEET THINGS (tm). Usually you will find that software of this type is more useful than commercial. **************************************************************************** Everything I say is Copr. 1990, except the stuff I stole from someone else and the stuff I don't want responsibility for.

Well... I converted FBM for the Amiga. Yes, the code-changes were minimal, but there was a problem. FBM is a memory-hog. It politely refuses to touch any really large image on my 1.5 meg Amiga because it can't malloc the memory. When I got hold of PBMPLUS I made a brief attempt to port it. Same problem, but worse - it wouldn't touch even small images without bailing, for lack of memory. Both these packages, being written for UN*X, expect virtual memory to be available, and blithely request *huge* buffers for images. If you've got multi-megabytes of core in your Amiga, do go for it - the code-changes really are minimal, and the packages well worth porting. Otherwise, anybody wanna volunteer to rewrite these to a streamed form, reading/converting/writing one scanline at a time wherever that's feasible? >This stuff does an incredible jod of folding/spindleing/mutilating bitmaps >of any format (almost) and can do many NEET THINGS (tm). Definitely. I use the UN*X versions a lot, and my Amiga version of FBM when I can. These are really useful, powerful, well-written utilities. >Usually you will find that software of this type is more useful than >commercial. You said it. I was scanning the shelves of my local Amiga dealer recently, looking for commercial packages to do image format conversions. I saw one. It handled only a few formats. And they were charging *$250.00* (!!!!!) for it! I'm glad I don't remember the name of this package, lest my comments on their pricing become slanderous. - Note new email address! - Kenn Barry ---------------------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC AVENUE: apple!netcom!barry
