NAME

       shp2pcx - extract images from a Shape (SHP) file into PCX files

SYNOPSIS

       shp2pcx SHAPE PREFIX PALETTE

DESCRIPTION

       shp2pcx converts all frames contained in a Shape file into PCX-format image files. Shape files are used for storage of all visible elements
       (from UI buttons to terrain features) of the games Exult supports.

       SHAPE is the name of the Shape file acting as the source. Frames contained therein are saved  as  PCX  files  named  PREFIXnn.pcx  with	nn
       replaced by the frame number (counting from zero). All PCX files get their palette from PALETTE.

       Before  extraction the number of frames, and the Shape's origin coordinates are shown. Additionally, extraction progress is communicated by
       printing a message containing the resulting file's name for every processed frame.

EXAMPLES

       shp2pcx orc.shp orc std.pal
	      Takes the frames contained in the Shape file orc.shp, and saves them with  the  palette  from  std.pal  into  PCX  files	orc00.pcx,
	      orc01.pcx, orc02.pcx, etc.

load_bitmap(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					      load_bitmap(3alleg4)

NAME

       load_bitmap - Loads any supported bitmap from a file. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       BITMAP *load_bitmap(const char *filename, RGB *pal);

DESCRIPTION

       Loads  a  bitmap  from  a file. The palette data will be stored in the second parameter, which should be an array of 256 RGB structures. At
       present this function supports BMP, LBM, PCX, and TGA files, determining the type from the file extension.

       If the file contains a truecolor image, you must set the video mode or call set_color_conversion() before loading it. In this case, if  the
       destination  color  depth  is  8-bit,  the  palette will be generated by calling generate_optimized_palette() on the bitmap; otherwise, the
       returned palette will be generated by calling generate_332_palette().

       The pal argument may be NULL. In this case, the palette data are simply not returned. Additionally, if the file is a  truecolor	image  and
       the destination color depth is 8-bit, the color conversion process will use the current palette instead of generating an optimized one.

       Example:

	  BITMAP *bmp;
	  PALETTE palette;
	  ...
	  bmp = load_bitmap("image.pcx", palette);
	  if (!bmp)
	     abort_on_error("Couldn't load image.pcx!");
	  ...
	  destroy_bitmap(bmp);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the bitmap or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the bitmap when you are finished with it
       to avoid memory leaks.
