Noptec Vector is an implementation of a bitmap vectorizing algorithm, specifically for creating background picture resources for the Sierra AGI interpreter. The program reads an image in BMP, PCX, or TGA format, converts it to 160 x 168 x 16 colors and writes the result in AGI readable format, optionally showing the result onscreen.
- Vectorizing an image
Even if the input image is resized and converted to the 16 EGA colors used
by the AGI interpreter, it is best to start with a rather simple image. This helps to create picture resources that are small and more easily edited. Dithered images and images with many small dots give poor results.
- Command line parameters
Usage: VECTOR.EXE [options] <input> <output>
input: the input file (BMP, PCX, TGA) output: the output file (AGI picture resource)
Options:
-p <prio> Sets input file as priority map -v Enables the onscreen view of the generated image -w Makes program wait after each drawn screen shape ESC skips)
