Read Amiga Basic Shape files

Read Amiga Basic Shape files

Usage

read.AmigaBasicShape(file, disk = NULL, ...)

Arguments

file

A character string of the filename of the Amiga Basic Shape file to be read.

disk

A virtual Commodore Amiga disk from which the file should be read. This should be an amigaDisk() object. Using this argument requires the adfExplorer package. When set to NULL, this argument is ignored.

...

Arguments passed to rawToAmigaBasicShape().

Value

Returns an AmigaBasicShape() class object read from the file.

Details

AmigaBasic used the term 'shapes' for graphics (sprites and blitter objects) which it could display. These graphics were stored in a specific binary format, which can be read with this function. See AmigaBasicShape() for more details. The file can also be read from a virtual Amiga disk (amigaDisk()).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
filename <- system.file("ball.shp", package = "AmigaFFH")
ball     <- read.AmigaBasicShape(filename)
## This is a sprite:
ball$flags[["fVSprite"]]

filename <- system.file("r_logo.shp", package = "AmigaFFH")
## The palette is not stored with an Amiga Basic Shape, so let's provide one:
r_logo   <- read.AmigaBasicShape(filename,
                                 palette = c("#FFFFFF", "#2266BB", "#3366BB", "#4477AA",
                                 "#778899", "#999999", "#AAAAAA", "#BBBBBB"))
## This is a blitter object:
r_logo$flags[["fVSprite"]]

## Just for fun, plot it:
plot(r_logo)
}
