NAME

       shp2pcx - extract images from a Shape (SHP) file into PCX files

SYNOPSIS

       shp2pcx SHAPE PREFIX PALETTE

DESCRIPTION

       shp2pcx converts all frames contained in a Shape file into PCX-format image files. Shape files are used for storage of all visible elements
       (from UI buttons to terrain features) of the games Exult supports.

       SHAPE is the name of the Shape file acting as the source. Frames contained therein are saved  as  PCX  files  named  PREFIXnn.pcx  with	nn
       replaced by the frame number (counting from zero). All PCX files get their palette from PALETTE.

       Before  extraction the number of frames, and the Shape's origin coordinates are shown. Additionally, extraction progress is communicated by
       printing a message containing the resulting file's name for every processed frame.

EXAMPLES

       shp2pcx orc.shp orc std.pal
	      Takes the frames contained in the Shape file orc.shp, and saves them with  the  palette  from  std.pal  into  PCX  files	orc00.pcx,
	      orc01.pcx, orc02.pcx, etc.

NAME

       img-pcx - Img, Paintbrush Format (pcx)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::pcx  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

DESCRIPTION

       The  package  img::pcx  is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its
       own, via package require img::pcx.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports  files	containing
       raster images in the Paintbrush Format (pcx). More specifically img::pcx extends Tk's photo image type.

       The  name  of  the new format handler is pcx.  This handler provides new additional configuration options. See section PCX OPTIONS for more
       detailed explanations.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

       [1]    Image data in pcx format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

       [2]    The format name pcx is recognized by the option -format.	In addition the value for the option is treated as list  and  may  contain
	      any of the special options listed in section PCX OPTIONS.

SUPPORTED PCX TYPES

	 1-bit pixels: Black and White.
	 8-bit pixels: Grayscale or indexed.
	24-bit pixels: True-color (RGB, each channel 8 bit).

	List of currently supported features:

	Type   |     Read      |     Write     |
	       | -file | -data | -file | -data |
	----------------------------------------
	 1-bit | Yes   | Yes   | No    | No    |
	 8-bit | Yes   | Yes   | No    | No    |
	24-bit | Yes   | Yes   | Yes   | Yes   |

	All images types may be either uncompressed or run-length encoded.

PCX OPTIONS

       The handler provides the following options:

       -verbose bool
	      This option is supported for reading and writing.

	      If set to true, additional information about the loaded/stored image is printed to stdout. Default is false.
