rawToAmigaIcon: Coerce raw data into an AmigaIcon class object

In AmigaFFH: Commodore Amiga File Format Handler

Coerce raw data into an AmigaIcon class object

Description

AmigaIcon() objects are comprehensive representations of binary Amiga Workbench icon files (*.info). Use this function to convert raw data from such a file to an AmigaIcon() object.

Usage

rawToAmigaIcon(x, palette = NULL)

Arguments

x	A vector of raw data that needs to be converted into an S3 AmigaIcon() class object.
palette	Provide a palette (vector of colours) for the icon bitmap image. When set to NULL (default) the standard Amiga Workbench palette will be used.

Details

Icons files (*.info) were used as a graphical representations of files and directories on the Commodore Amiga. This function will convert the raw data from such files into a more comprehensive names list (see AmigaIcon()). Use as.raw() to achieve the inverse.

Value

Returns an AmigaIcon() class object based on x.
