kview 0.11.3
------------
Yet another tentative release of kview, the KDE image viewer.
kview extends QImageIO with publicly available image-handler libraries.
To be more honest with my kview development, I've been using kview instead
of xv whenever possible; this gives me a first-hand impression of what it
needs and what it lacks.
HOW TO GET
----------
Available in the 'kdeapps' package. e.g.
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/distribution/tgz
or any mirror of this site
INSTALLATION
------------
Follow the instructions for installing the kdeapps package,
that is
./configure; make; make install
Image Formats:
--------------
JPEG: (Taj)
- read support only
GIF: (Taj)
- read support only
- realized by giflib 2.3 (waiting for Qt 1.3)
EPS: (Dirk Schoenberg, schoenberger@signsoft.com)
- read support only
PCX, ILBM, TGA: (Dirk Schoenberg)
- reading only
XPM, XBM, BMP: provided by Qt 1.2
- read and
- write support
How to add formats
------------------
0. Tell me (Taj, Martin) you're working on the format to avoid duplicate work.
1. Create an image handler conforming to QImageIO::defineIOHandler
2. Add format header to formats.h
3. Add format QImageIO definition in formats.cpp
4. Add your source file and object file to the Makefile
5. Send me your source file and header!
Libraries/Tools Required
------------------------
Format: JPEG,GIF
Library(version): giflib, libjpeg 6a .
Where: ->kdesupport package
Format: PNG
Library: libgr (built and tested with 2.0.9-2.0.11)
Format: PCX, ILBM, TGA
Tool: the NetPBM conversion tools
Format: EPS
Tool: Ghostscript with PPM support
