Fleet Street Editor (Amstrad Acción)

★ Ce texte vous est présenté dans sa version originale ★   ★ This text is presented to you in its original version ★   ★ Este texto se presenta en su versión original ★   ★ Dieser Text wird in seiner Originalfassung präsentiert ★  Fleet Street Editor (FSE) will not work on an expanded 464 or 664. it demands a 6128, plus Epson-compatible printer, with optional use of joystick or mouse. It is supplied on two discs; the first contains the program and a range of fonts. the second a graphics library. The program is divided into three modules, or deépartments: Art Studio, Copydesk and Administration. Within each deépartment the available functions appear as a row of words or icons across the top of the screen. Selection of an icon produces a drop-down menu of further options. The facilities available within the FSE's Art Studio module should enable anyone to produce presentable graphics from scratch, or tailor images taken from the supplied graphics library. Electronic equivalents of pencils, paint brushes, rollers, erasers, scissors and glue are provided, together with facilities to reflect, rotate and scale your drawings. The brush icon allows freehand drawing using the cursor keys, joystick or mouse. A range of eight brush sizes and eight pre-defined patterns is available. An 8x8 grid can be used to create a user-defined pattern, with each grid element representing a pixel to be switched on or off. Straight lines are produced automatically between defined end-points using the draw function. Squares, rectangles and circles can also be created, scaled and placed precisely on the screen. The fill function is used to place areas of pattern into selected parts of the screen. Again predefined and user-defined patterns can be used. Pixels can be overlayed, or not, by clicking the inverse icon. Block images can be moved, copied or erased. Small areas of the screen can be magnified using the zoom function, enabling individual pixels to be edited. There is always a tendency to hesitate before altering something which has taken some time to produce, particularly when using unfamiliar tools. FSE's Art Studio overcomes this by providing a temporary store facility for graphics. An stored image can be recalled instantly if the attempted edit fails to achieve the desired result. This is more than an undo facility; if you are unsure about the effect of an edit, the face icon can be used to toggle between the stored and edited versions before deciding with which to continue. Once you are satisfied with your artistic efforts, they can be saved to disc for future use. FSE's Art Studio saves graphics in a compressed form. A full screen will take up 8k of disc space, smaller areas use proportionally less, up to about 2cm x 2cm when files are only 1k big. Copydesk Text input and document layout takes place in the Copydesk deépartment. Graphics created and stored to disc in FSE's Art Studio can be imported to the Copydesk and placed anywhere on the page, which is one screen wide and about three screens long. Text and headlines can be entered and formatted into one, two or three columns; boxes can be drawn to outline text, and the final document can be saved to disc and printed. A range of fonts is available. FSE's Copydesk supplies 10 normal sized character sets, plus two double sized and two triple sized fonts in both normal and bold weights. Text can be left justified, centred or full out. Text editing is by insertion. All the text beyond the cursor - that is, to the right and below -disappears until editing is completed. It is then re-laid to show the changes made. Text can be copied and moved in blocks around the page. Text that is to be used in a series of pages can be copied to disc in the form of .TXT files and recalled later for loading into another page. An overflow buffer is used to pass text that is too long for the current column into another section of the page. Text that overflows th' page remains in the buffer, enabling multi-paged documents to be produced. Scrolling is awkward and painfully slow. Also, Copydesk has a tendency to go quiet while carrying out an intensive operation, which can lead to a lot of pointless key bashing until the program mysteriously springs into life again. Manual re-sizing of columns can be used to flow text around graphics and can also be used to vary the layout of a page. FSE's Copydesk also allows adjustable leading, the spacing between the baselines on which the text sits. This can be used to vary the amount of text in the column to improve the appearance of a page. Pages can be saved, taking up 37k of disc space, or loaded for further editing. A preview facility is provided to enable the appearance of a complete page to be judged before printing. Printing can be carried out in draft or quality mode in a variety of four sizes from A4-ish to about A7-ish. Draft mode will produce a printout relatively quickly for checking; quality mode, though slower, produces an output suitable for reproduction. FSE's Art Studio and Copydesk have been written by separate authors. One unwanted byproduct of this is that the spacebar is used to select functions in Art Studio, while the Return key does the same job in Copydesk. This is annoying rather than a problem, but represents slightly careless planning. The Administration deépartment provides file handling facilities and screen colour selection. Conversion of screen files from other sources into FSE Copydesk format is also provided. The conversion works best with Mode 1 screens, which FSE Administration turns into black-and-white compressed 9k equivalents that can be loaded into Copydesk as "graphics". The Fleet Street Editor manual is well written and leads the first time user through the program in a logical manner. A partially completed page is supplied on the program disc, enabling the novice to get to grips with the facilities immediately. ACU #8805

CPCrulez[Content Management System] v8.7-desktop/c Page créée en 528 millisecondes et consultée 4620 fois L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent  du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko.
