Gribnif Software is proud to announce its latest release into the North American Atari software market: ******************************* ** ** ** Arabesque Professional ** ** ====================== ** ** ** ******************************* A complete BITMAP and VECTOR illustration software. Developed in conjunction with Shift Computer Software, this program offers a new standard in image editing for desktop publishing. It allows you to create, import, and save graphics in the two standard formats: BITMAP and VECTOR. A BITMAP graphic contains the exact information you see, composed of its individual dots (also known as pixels). Programs like Touch-Up usually handle this type of graphic. A VECTOR graphic contains a description of all the shapes in the image. Because all the objects in a vector image are calculated, you can get a much higher degree of detail using this method. Programs like Easy Draw usually handle this type of graphic. General Features ================ o Easy to use, icon-driven, pop-up menus o Edit up to 20 pages in memory o Draw points, lines, Bezier polygons (2D or 3D), B-Splines, circles, ellipses, arcs, and rectangles (with or without rounded corners) in Bitmap or Vector mode. o Choose from various line end-styles, thicknesses, patterns, etc. o Use any of 108 different patters, or edit your own, or use any block o Special block operations (rectangle or arbitrary shape) include: cut & paste, mirror, rotate, bend, increase contrast, invert, contour, smooth, pattern, enlarge, save/load. o Output to 9- and 24-pin dot matrix, and Atari and HP laser printers (includes its own fast printer drivers). o All functions operate very rapidly in magnification mode. o Support for Calamus Outline CVG files o A full UNDO feature o Complete illustrated manual o Load various image types including IFF, IMG, NeoChrome, Doodle, Degas, and Arabesque's own compressed formats. o Configurable "spray can" feature o Converts vector graphics to bit images (with gray scaling options) File Formats ============ In BITMAP mode: Arabesque supports Degas, Stad, GEM IMG, IFF and Arabesque's own advanced ABM file format.
