3.2.3 GraphicDump
GraphicDump can be used to print pictures to a printer. This is mainly for IFF ILBM pictures, use
Multiview for other formats. Picture size can be set using SIZE Tool Type.
3.2.4 IconEdit
IconEdit is used to modify file icon or .info files on the Amiga. Most Workbench 3.x icons are 4 colour
icons but can be expanded to multicolour icons via the Extras, Color Palette menu. You have the main
drawing area on the left. In the middle you have the currently selected Colour (black in this case), the
colour palette below and the drawing tools: freehand drawing, curves, circles (outline or filled),
rectangles (outlined or filled), straight lines and the fill tool.
Each icon has two images, normal and selected, selected icons are used when a user selects an icon,
and it usually displays a depressed icon rather than a raised icon (the shadow around the edge makes
the difference).
3.2.5 KeyShow
This displays a graphical representation of the keyboard on the screen with the characters that each
key represents including those when Ctrl, Shift or Alt is pressed. Pressing any of the keys does not enter
characters in to applications unfortunately.
3.2.6 InitPrinter
This will initialise any attached printer with the printer=s initialisation command using the currently
selected driver in the Printer preferences.
3.2.7 Colors
This program will configure the colours for Workbench. Unlike the Palette Preferences, this is
temporary set for the current session.
3.2.8 Printfiles
This program allows you to print text files from Workbench. To use it to select the files you wish to
print (use Shift key when selecting multiple files), then hold down shift and click Printfiles to print them.
Use the tool type FLAGS=formfeed or FORMFEED=true if you want files to start on a new page.
