This is the release 1.0 QuickTimeTcl. QuickTimeTcl allows the 'image photo' command to read any QuickTime supported image format. System Requirements: 1. PPC MacOS system - if someone needs a 68k version please write. Windows users, I'm happy to work with you to make this work, but, I'll need a lot of help. 2. MacOS 8.1 - previous versions might work but haven't been tested. 3. QuickTime 3.0 - I don't believe I've used anything specific to 3.0. That said, 3.0 has loads more image formats for the image photo command. 4. Tcl/Tk 8.0p2 - Other 8.0 versions might work, but haven't been tested. To use it you need the to first download the MacOS version of Tcl/Tk from http://sunscript.sun.com and install it. Once you've done that put QuickTimeTcl.shlb in your in the :Tool Command Language: folder within your Extensions folder. Once that's done you can use it as follows: % package require QuickTimeTcl % QuickTimeStat QTversion 3008007 % image create photo -file image.jpg image1 % button .b -image image1 .b % grid .b % Notes: 1. Because the 'package require' command doesn't actually load the shared library you must run the QuickTimeStat command before the first image create command. Otherwise you won't be able to read QuickTime images. 2. The image photo command can now read a huge number of formats. For more details look at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/developers/ffsi.html. 3. I think it's stable, but, it's possible that it's Macsbugs compliant. Questions? Complaints? Problems?
