logoMaker Skill utility to place bitmap images

archive

Attached is a Skill utility and its help file that, used in combination with a couple of free downloads, will allow you to create logo symbols in Allegro at any scale or rotation. Most bitmap images such as Windows bitmap, jpeg and gif are accepted.

Buy me a beer at CDNLive in September if you like it.

Sorry. Windows only at this time.

logoMaker installation instructions:

Download and install potrace:
http://potrace.sourceforge.net/download/potrace-1.8.tar.gz

set the POTRACE_PATH environment variable to the path to the executable
eg. C:/utils/potrace-1.8.win32-i386

Download and install lfc:
http://leadtools.com/Utilities/Cmd-Line/File-Converter/default.htm

Install logoMaker_public.il and logoMakerHelp.txt into your skill folder.

Add 'load("logoMaker_public.il")' to the allegro.ilinit file in your pcbenv folder.

Running within Allegro:
Type logomaker in the command window.
