---|
| 10 | ===== |
---|
| 11 | |
---|
| 12 | Nview is a multi-format image viewer. |
---|
| 13 | |
---|
| 14 | Type nview -help for available options. |

| 17 | About Nview for PC under DOS: |
---|
| 18 | ----------------------------- |
---|
| 19 | |
---|
| 20 | Nview is VESA compatible and works in 8,15,16 bits and truecolor mode. |
---|
| 21 | The only mode available is 320x200x8 if your video card doesn't |
---|
| 22 | support Vesa mode. |
---|
| 23 | |
---|
| 24 | For a complete description of the available modes on the display, type |
---|
| 25 | nview -help (and use it with -d option's) |
---|
| 26 | |
---|
| 27 | For example with my Diamond S3 864, "nview -d3 back.gif" use the 640x480x15 display. |
---|
| 28 | |
---|
| 29 | With the -p<width>x<height>x<bits>, you take the best display that matches the arguments. |
---|
| 30 | (Example: nview -p640x480x24 back.gif) |
---|
| 31 | -p0x0x0 choose the best display for the bitmap. |
---|

---|
| 34 | About Nview for X Window: |
---|
| 35 | -------------------------------------- |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | Nview displays bitmaps on the default visual. You can use |
---|
| 38 | -visual id (id is the visual number seeing with nview -help). |
---|
| 39 | |
---|
| 40 | By default, Nview display the bitmap and wait for a mouse click or the Escape key. |
---|
| 41 | With the -w option, Nview create one window per bitmap. |
---|
| 42 | |
---|
| 43 | Nview works with pipe, in this case the input format must be specified: |
---|
| 44 | cat img.tga | nview -f2 stdin |
---|
| 45 | |
---|

---|
| 47 | NCONVERT |
---|
| 48 | ======== |
---|
| 49 | |
---|
| 50 | Nconvert is the multi-format commandline image converter for Win32, DOS, OS/2, and other platforms. |
---|
| 51 | |
---|
| 52 | Type "nconvert -help" for available options. |
---|
| 53 | |
---|
| 54 | Type "nconvert -help > nchelp.txt" to save the help text into the file "nchelp.txt". |
---|
| 55 | |
---|
| 56 | To convert files to a specific format, type for example : |
---|
| 57 | nconvert -out 5 file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga |
---|
| 58 | or |
---|
| 59 | nconvert -out tiff file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga |
---|
| 60 | |
---|
| 61 | With a resize : |
---|
| 62 | nconvert -out jpeg -ratio -resize 480 0 *.jpg |
---|
| 63 | nconvert -out jpeg -resize 640 480 *.jpg |
---|
| 64 | |
---|
| 65 | The input format is not necessary, it will be autodetected. If a problem occurs, use the -in option. |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
| 67 | Nconvert is able to transform images while converting: |
---|
| 68 | |
---|
| 69 | * To convert GIF files to JPEG files : |
---|
| 70 | nconvert -out jpeg -truecolors *.gif |
---|
| 71 | |
---|
| 72 | * To convert JPEG files to GIF files : |
---|
| 73 | nconvert -out gif -dither -colors 256 *.jpeg |
---|
| 74 | |
---|
| 75 | * To resize : |
---|
| 76 | nconvert -out png -resize 510 230 *.jpeg |
---|
| 77 | nconvert -out png -ratio -resize 510 0 *.jpeg |
---|
| 78 | nconvert -out png -ratio -resize 0 510 *.jpeg |
---|
| 79 | nconvert -out png -resize 200% 200% *.jpeg |
---|
| 80 | |
---|
| 81 | You can use it with images sequences. |
---|
| 82 | For example, to convert the files file00.pic, file01.pic, ..., file10.pic and |
---|
| 83 | we convert to jpeg format with the name pattern res0.jpg, res1.jpg, ... type : |
---|
| 84 | nconvert -out jpeg -n 1 10 1 -o res#.jpg file##.pic |
---|
| 85 | |
---|
| 86 | You can use % to specify source filename in dest filename. |
---|
| 87 | For example, nconvert -out jpeg -o result_%.jpg file.tga |
---|
| 88 | creates a file named result_file.jpg |
---|
| 89 | |
---|
| 90 | Note for windows users: in batch files you must write %% instead of %. To bypass this problem, you can use a nconvert script instead of a batch file. |
---|
| 91 | |
---|
| 92 | You can control nconvert with a script, performing multiple sets of conversions on multiple sets of files, example: |
---|
| 93 | |
---|
| 94 | ### -out png -rtype lanczos -resize 200% 150% |
---|
| 95 | |
---|
| 96 | screenshot1.bmp |
---|
| 97 | screenshot2.bmp |
---|
| 98 | screenshot3.bmp |
---|
| 99 | |
---|
| 100 | ### -out gif -rtype lanczos -resize 500% 500% -oil 10 -colours 32 |
---|
| 101 | |
---|
| 102 | F:\icons\smile.bmp |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | ### -out bmp -rtype lanczos -resize 30% 30% -oil 2 -rotate_flag smooth -rotate 45 |
---|
| 105 | |
---|
| 106 | selfportrait.png |
---|
| 107 | mydog.png |
---|
| 108 | |
---|
| 109 | Save this into a text file, for example "nc.txt", and then run nconvert with this file as the only parameter: "nconvert nc.txt" . |
---|
| 110 | |
---|
| 111 | Limitations: |
---|
| 112 | |
---|
| 113 | Add text feature uses the Win32 API and is avaiable on Win32 only. |
---|
| 114 | |
---|
| 115 | Some exotical image formats use external DLL's and are available on Win32 only. |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
| 117 | When using a script file, avoid multiple spaces in the conversion definitions, they confuse the parser. |
---|
| 118 | |
---|
| 119 | Converting huge images, or scaling up to a huge size requires much memory and may not always work. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
| 121 | Notes for DOS users: |
---|
| 122 | |
---|
| 123 | Since v4.90, nconvert is supported for DOS again. Is is a 32-bit DOS application, using the "DOS/32A Extender". |
---|
| 124 | |
---|
| 125 | Also the NVIEW picture viewer had a DOS version, but was discontinued in 2002 at version 3.87. It is available bundled with old nconvert 3.87. |
