the Object Editor


Adjust
Adjust Icon This is a very powerful option. If it is on, any Object taken from the bank will change the current palette to its own resolution preference. If the option is off, the number of colours remains unchanged.

This can have one of two effects. Either the Object has less colours than your current screen, and nothing is lost. Alternatively, if the Object has more colours than the current screen, then the higher value colours are lost. The bank will remain unchanged until the Object is deposited into it again. This [ADJUST] option is normally on.

Hi-Res
High Resolution Icon This is also an on/off switch, which selects the current screen mode, with the maximum number of colours in high resolution being 16. Everything else in the program remains unchanged, except for these colour resolutions.

Number of Colours
No. Colours Icon A choice of six options is available, instantly selecting the number of colours displayed on the Edit Screen, as follows: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64.

Animation
Animation Icon AMOS Professional allows you to test an animated movie sequence of the Object images which are currently loaded. This is extremely useful, as well as very entertaining.

You can test the system now, using the Objects in this file:

"AMOSPro_Tutorial:Objects/Play_Bobs.Abk"

When the [Animation] icon is selected, the Edit Screen gives way to your own animation suite!.A diagram of this facility is shown below.
