read.AmigaBasicShape: Read Amiga Basic Shape files

In AmigaFFH: Commodore Amiga File Format Handler

Read Amiga Basic Shape files

Description

Read Amiga Basic Shape files

Usage

read.AmigaBasicShape(file, ...)

Arguments

file	A character string of the filename of the Amiga Basic Shape file to be read.
...	Arguments passed to rawToAmigaBasicShape().

Details

AmigaBasic used the term 'shapes' for graphics (sprites and blitter objects) which it could display. These graphics were stored in a specific binary format, which can be read with this function. See AmigaBasicShape() for more details. The file can also be read from a virtual Amiga disk (adf_file_con()).

Value

Returns an AmigaBasicShape() class object read from the file.

Examples

filename <- system.file("ball.shp", package = "AmigaFFH")
ball     <- read.AmigaBasicShape(filename)
## This is a sprite:
ball$flags[["fVSprite"]]

filename <- system.file("r_logo.shp", package = "AmigaFFH")
## The palette is not stored with an Amiga Basic Shape, so let's provide one:
r_logo   <- read.AmigaBasicShape(filename,
                                 palette = c("#FFFFFF", "#2266BB", "#3366BB", "#4477AA",
                                 "#778899", "#999999", "#AAAAAA", "#BBBBBB"))
## This is a blitter object:
r_logo$flags[["fVSprite"]]

## Just for fun, plot it:
plot(r_logo)
