OS/2 OpenDoc Graphics Component Experience True Object-Based Graphics & DTP Download the TrueSpectra Graphics Component (Beta - 1.1M) Incorporating the complete TrueSpectra render engine, the TrueSpectra Graphics Component supports graphical page layout, image decompression and display, and dynamic object-based image processing. Objects implemented to produce special effects and transformations are stored independently from image, text and font data. They are applied dynamically to highlight vital information or visually improve content for display without altering stored originals. This makes TrueSpectra Parts ideal for 24 bit color image presentation and annotation where many documents may reference the same source image yet require differing visual display. This reduces the time to create multiple images from the same source and significantly reduces storage requirements. Application Information The TrueSpectra Graphics Component is a full OpenDoc implementation and includes the ability to both view and edit its content. OpenDoc compliant applications will quickly be able to include color imagery through the use of this Component and will be able to do so without the training typically associated with pixel editors. Additionally, there is no need to save multiple copies of an image simply to support a variety of application-specific or context-dependent annotations. TrueSpectra Studio Graphics, the Professional versions of the TrueSpectra line of graphic software products, is scheduled for release late in 1996. This product offering will offer OpenDoc support both as a stand alone Part and as a Container to embed other OpenDoc Parts. In addition, OpenDoc's powerful scripting capabilities will be integrated throughout TrueSpectra Studio Graphics to support automated control of program functions, or even to create a custom user interface for an interactive OpenDoc Document. Background Information TrueSpectra Inc., established 1992, is dedicated to the design and development of true object-based image processing and page layout graphical applications. Recognized for advanced object technologies including a high performance 32 bit render engine and innovative modeless context-sensitive controls, TrueSpectra systems dynamically process interacting objects consisting of high-resolution 24 bit images, graphics, text, transformations and effects. Coupled with TrueSpectra's OS/2 film scanner and dye-sublimation device drivers, their first product was installed in 1993, bringing the benefits of object technology to commercial photo finishing where ease-of-use, performance, and quality are essential.
