[yusongchina]

Maybe being the best picture viewer for sl4x MP! :)

You can view grey pictures instead of B/W ones with the midlet!

[USAGE]
1. Use attached tool "BmpConv.exe", press "Process" to transform any color pictures,the output path is the same as the input one, output file take the same name as the input file, but with a different extension ".data".
2. Copy *.data files to the "Storage" folder of "PictureView".
3. Run the Java midlet "PictureView".
4. Press left soft key to open "Options" menu, select "Open file...", input filename and click "OK" (press "down_arrow" key a few more times to find "OK" option), view it. Once the file have been opened, it will show in the list, you can choose it directly from the file list next time.

[OPERATION]
PictureView Support 2 kinds of Mode: "FULL SIZE" and "STRETCH".

--Operations in "FULL SIZE MODE"--
Green Key : switch to "STRETCH MODE"
Red Key : back to file list
Navy Keys: navigate
Number Key '5': navigate to center of picture
Number Keys '1' -- '9': fast navigation
Star Key: illumination on/off

--Operations in "STRETCH MODE"--
Green Key : switch to "FULL SIZE MODE", locate positon
Red Key : back to file list
Navy Keys: navigate the positon pointer
Number Key '5': navigate position pointer to center of picture
Number Keys '1' -- '9': position pointer fast navigation
Star Key: illumination on/off

[HINTS]
1.If you want to view photos, resizing the original BMP's width or height to 200~300 pixels before convertion will bring the best effect.
2.This midlet support very large picture, for example, the map of a city. If picture quality is not so important to you, you can choose "8 Gray" in the tool "BmpConv", size of the output file will be much smaller than the "16 Gray" option.
3.As to large picture, you can switch to "STRETCH" mode, adjust the position pointer, and then switch back to "FULL SIZE" mode. This way of quick location is highly recommended.
4.In the "Storage" folder of "PictureView", I enclose a file "PVMate.vbe", It's a auxiliary script written by my friend HeChengzi. Once you changed the content in the "Storage" folder, you can run this script, which can synchronize the file list for you! By means of this script, "Open file..." operation is not necessary.

Sorry, I find no way to upload ".rar" files, so I upload it as ".txt", Please change the extension to ".rar" after download. and put the 4 rar files in a same folder to unrar it. As to the tool "BmpConv.exe", see the 2nd floor.

Let's continue......
TOOL : <BmpConv.exe> -- Convert "*.bmp" to "*.data"

Very nice, and much better then the previous version. Too bad, the old .data files can´t be read...

[daseth007]

is the flashing of the imges in the data files included normal? i mean that is it normal that what should be gray is something like pixels turning on and off? is this ur implementation of gray or is it something wrong?

[trustkill]

I think that this ist the "trick" they used to implement the greyscales (optical delusion)

[rc-flitzer]

This works great! It's a good trick to display greyscales.

[daseth007]

SMART THINKING! so a greater rate of displaying a pixel, means a darker grey, huh? nice.

Yeah, you are right.
I got the hint from the famous sl4x Midlet "ACEVideo" written by Chaos. but maybe we took different skill in some detail.

Dear Friends.

I created small application, which makes *.cfg files for PictureView. You only have to select folder with *.data files - everything else will be done automagically. Enjoy!

[trustkill]

I think this program may be interesting for someone:
AceVideo uses the same "effect" to do some greyscales. BUT this program is for video !
(some samples are included).

Thank you for your work, but I do have some problem when unzipping your attachment, I'm using winrar, I think I shoud find some other tool to unzip it
