Floyd Error Diffusion wanted...

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Andrey Khristov To All 2 January 1998

Hi, All!

Who has a subzh?
However, I will write a driver for 360DPI...

Some of the Amiga Users seem to have it - ah!

(you just need the algorithm itself. I don’t understand C codes ;)) Pascal - it’s possible ;)))

With best wishes - Andrey Khristov (ha...@robin.alt.ru)

I really want both the algorithm itself and links to the literature on Floyd-Stenberg.
People are asking a lot, those who don’t have Photoshop and PC and want to convert the graphics.

Sincerely yours.

Uh... about high-quality graphics, without advanced programs - it’s better to forget
right away. and FS will not help you, because... the next thing you will ask for is
image graph formats ;)))

Good Luck...

Amiga too, probably not? Where does the graphics come from then? Or will Steinberg
convert the screenshots to pcx?

Who’s talking about high-quality? I just want FS - it will be useful on the farm.
However, as for quality, one friend in Samara riveted a program in which
you can adjust brightness/contrast directly on the Spectrum. It’s true
no sharpness, but how old we are!

What I won’t do, I won’t! Here even a lammer knows what to do with a b/w tiff
which is actually like a sprite.

MR> image graph formats ;)))

Sincerely yours.

Brightness/contrast is a freebie. ;)

why do you need to convert the b/w to Floyd?! And it’s not easier to do it
where you brought this tiff from?


Good Luck...
