Usage

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.

VECTOR.EXE [options] <input> <output>

input: the input file (BMP, PCX, TGA)

output: the output file (AGI picture resource)


Command line parameters

-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)

Known issues

Some resources generated are too big to be useful.
