AWeb progressive animated GIF plugin
Available from the
AmiTrix AWeb Home Page
Note: If you have installed the AnimGIF plugin, you may
want to change the reference to this page to the "../animgif/index.html"
docs page supplied with the plugin.
These days animated gifs are getting more and more popular to give
internet pages a nice extra touch. For AWeb users these animations were
just shown as the first image of the animation. Until now! This plugin for
AWeb will decode and play (nearly) all gif animations on the world wide web
making AWeb the Amiga internet browser which is able to show you the
pages as they where meant to be!
Not only animations are supported, normal gif images are handled by this
plugin as well. It will show them in a progressive manner, meaning
that you can see images being built-up during their download.
This is what you'll need to be able to use this plugin:
- AWeb-II 3.0 or higher.
- A 68020 processor or better (030 recommended).
This plugin is shareware. The demo version is complete, but will
display a message text over the second half of the animation reminding you
that you haven't registered yet.
For more information about registration see the full docs included with
the plugin.
Planned improvements for the near future are:
- Full support for Cybergraphics.
- Extra scaling mode to scale the image to the size specified in the HTML
document.
- Extra decoder for PNG files (and in time for JPEG's too).
- Optimalisation of the decoder(s) for higher speed.
- A PowerPC version for even more speed
(only as soon as the PowerPC boards are available for the A1200 and there
are enough registrations to buy one).
