Requirements:
- Apple // series computer with atleast 64K.
- SuperPrint(TM) graphic printing program.
The "Graphics Converter" program is one of those nice small add on programs that then make the main program, in this case "SuperPrint", a useful program. Basically the program converts graphics from PrintShop, HiRes Screens, Scholastics Slide Shop, and other known graphic programs. It also converts fonts from PrintShop, Fontrix and GS Fonts so they to can be used with SuperPrint.
Converting graphics or fonts over usually entales hours of work trying to get the graphic you want and where it is going. The Graphics Converter makes this job relatively simple that even a child could do it. Most of the conversion is menu driven. All operations can be carried out with ease from the main menu by selecting the choice and then pressing the return key.
After the operation of converting the graphic across is successful, you can the proceed with other special features. If it is in graphic form, these include changing the height, width or screen display, whether to Invert it or keep it normal, flip it either horizontal or vertical, or mirror it left, right, top or bottom depending on the user's preference.
Apart from importing fonts and graphics from other sources, the program lets you modify Superprint's own fonts and graphics. The above listed features will can also be implemented.
Graphics Converter is a reasonable program if you have SUPERPRINT. If you don't have it, the program is fairly useless as the features it offers cannot work with any other program.
