unit GifUtil; { GifUtl.pas - (c)Copyright 1993 Sean Wenzel Users are given the right to use/modify and distribute this source code as long as credit is given where due. I would also ask that anyone who makes use of this source/program drop me a line at my CompuServe address of 71736,1245. Just curious... The unit was written using Borland Pascal v7.0 but I think it should work with Turbo Pascal down to 5.5 at the most (or least?). This unit has only been tested on my system - an Everex Tempo 386DX with its built in SVGA adapter. If anyone finds/fixes any bugs please let me know. (Feel free to send a copy of any code too) I have also only tested 3 or 4 256,16, and 2 color interlaced and non- interlaced images. (was enough for my needs) Some of the code is very loosely based on DECODER.C (availble online) so credit should be given to Steven A. Bennett and Steve Wilhite The unit is set up to use BGI256.BGI (inlcuded) which is available on CIS in the BPASCAL forum library. The graphics initialization tries to start up in 640 by 480 mode. If an error occurs it'll go down to 320x200 automatically (well - it should). For higher res modes change the variable GraphMode in the InitGraphics procedure to 3 for 800x600 and 4 for 1024x768. A sample program (GIF.PAS) is provided to demostrate the use of this unit. Basically declare a pointer to the TGIF object then initialize it using a line such as TheGif := New(PGif, Init('agif')); You can then check TheGif^.Status for any errors and/or view the GIF headers and ColorTables. To switch to Graphics mode and show the GIF image use TheGif^.Decode(True) True tells it to beep when done(or boop if some sort of error occured). When finished use Dispose(TheGif, Done) to switch back to textmode and get rid of the object. If anyone cares to speed up the image decoding I'd suggest writing TGIF.NextCode in assembler. The routine is the most heavily called in the unit while decoding and on my sytem took up about 5 seconds out of 12 when I profiled it. (send me a copy if you can) I have practically commented every line so that the source should be very readable and easy to follow. Great for learning about GIF's and LZW decompression. Any problems or suggestions drop me a line Good luck... -Sean (almost forgot) "The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe Incorporated.
