Type:     util/dtype

Some DataTypes for use with _registered_ MetaView (2.1 or better).

MetaView (2.1) avaible at http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jonash
MetaView (2.0) avaible at Aminet:gfx/conv, but wont work because a bug at
ARexx-Interface (command LOAD was called OPEN). Look there for registration.


COPYRIGHT:

  This datatype are freely distributable. The source based on the bmp.datatype
  example from David N. Junod.


INSTALLATION:

  Copy the descriptors (Amiga MetaFile, Windows MetaFile, DXF, DR2D, XFIG) to
  "devs:datatypes/" and the datatype (metaview.datatype) to "sys:classes/datatypes/",
  verify the path in "env:metaview.prefs" (should created from metaview-install),
  reboot and try it.


BUGS:

  Maybe there are serious bugs.


PREFS:

  The datatype looks for env:datatypes/metaview.prefs. This file can hold options
  with the following template:
    WIDTH=xxx                Default: 640
    HEIGHT=xxx               Default: 480
    DEPTH=xxx                Default: 4
    ASPECT=(TRUE/FALSE)      Default: TRUE
    TRANSPARENT=(TRUE/FALSE) Default: FALSE
  look at MetaView.doc/.guide for explanation.
