@All
Hi I'm Yannick the maintainer of AmiFIG.
I just want to clear up some things on this program:
- I'm maintaining and making evolution on both AROS and AmigaOS4 versions,
- My main goal is to develop the AROS version further,
- Kas1e is only reporting issues on the os4 port,
- the best way you can get touch with me and get track of what's going on is through the sourceforge page,
- if someone want's to starts a real os4 port, I have no issue with it, it will free up a lot of my time.
Now some technical points:
1. about text :
AmiFIG is based on XFIG and only handles internally a small number of fonts.
Those are the ones you see in the Font selector list.
For each of these font AmiFIG is using a replacement font.
These replacement font can be selected using the font font requester that opens using the button sitting top right of the preview area.
These replacement fonts are save together with the preference.
2. Importing/exporting
For calling fig2dev and autotrace/potrace I've created two graphical front ends in LUA/Zulu under AROS.
These GUI are then calling the real command line.
The GUIs are called with a command line that can be configured in the pref window (in IO panel).
Using these preference you might be able to call directly fig2dev or you can create your own Graphical front ends.
3. some AROS specific things that may remain:
-I've seen the point about using RECTFMT_RAW, I'll try to get rid of this one.
- There might be an issue in PNG export function apparently also, as I do not have an OS4 machine it's difficult for me to check this,
Any other issues you have might better be reported on :
