Graphics commonality
Hello again; June seems a LONG time ago. Graphics help please?
Assume a program is being written to do some animation work in an MSDOS
(but probably not WINDOWS) environment. The plan is to distribute all the
graphics on CDROM and put the application's operating code on a floppy. It
would be appealing to make the CDROM disk potentially usable with other
systems right from the start.
The largest image would be about 128*128pixels in 64 shades of gray and
*NO* data loss from compresssion would be acceptable. (The images are bad
enough without additional loss of information.) In addition, about four
seconds of animation at a time is needed; the anim can loop after four
seconds.
ISO-9660 seems like the CD format to use for maximum commonality; but what
about the images themselves. Is there a common format for them? I guess
MSDOS, UNIX, MAC, and Amiga might be target systems.
Thanks for comments on any part of the above. Rob.
