Graphics Viewer

Graphics Viewer version 2.1 is freeware (for personal use) C and Microsoft Visual Basic source for viewing graphics files under MS Windows.

Graphics Viewer is source code for viewing and printing PFS First Publisher ART, MS Windows and OS/2 BMP, Dr. Halo CUT, DIB, GIF, HRZ (slow scan television), IFF/ILBM, Gem Raster, JPG, MacPaint, MS Paint, Pictor PC Paint, PCX, Sun Raster, TGA, TIFF, WMF, and WPG files. Although Visual Basic runs under MS Windows, this code should get you started in writing file readers on any platform. What is unique about this package is the printing support. Partly based on information from Steve Rimmer's Supercharged Bitmapped Graphics, Windows Bitmapped Graphics, and (ahem) this book. Hats off to author Joe Oliphant for making this code available.

Graphics Viewer is in the directory /software/pc/mswin31/graphvwr on the CD-ROM. Graphics Viewer is from Joe Oliphant.
