LCDGradient 0.1

Short:        Gradient generator: test LCD monitors

Type:         util/misc
Version:      0.1
Requires:     OS 3.x, AGA, RTG
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


    This is a simple  gradient generator  for testing monitors.  It allows you
 to tune/check your monitor for displaying 8 bits per colour (a lot of LCD/TFT
 screens are limited to  6 bits only,  or you have  a gamma setting  set  that
 shifts the colour spectrum.

    As usual,  this tool is a  result of a  missing  similar  tool  with  same
 function that would work on  classic amiga hardware.  Also was curious to see
 how different monitors display gradients in real life without  gamma settings
 that so called modern systems automatically implement for new monitors.

    This tool also  complements my  Monitor Test tool,  if you need to do some
 serious tuning of your CRT screen or projector.

    Tested on AGA/CGX/P96 and 020/030/040/060/UAE systems  and  will  probably
 work with  other  more  exotic RTG  software.  Tried resolution from  320x200
 up to 2048x1536 - the maximum I managed to get from a BVisionPPC card that my
 monitor could handle!


 How to use
 ==========

 Just run from WB or CLI

 Program opens Workbench clone screen, so you are required to have
 Workbench running in 8-bit or 24-bit screenmode for 8-bit colour.
 Again please note that AGA delivers 8-bits per colour, a lot of
 old RTG boards have limitations and will show only 6-bits.
 This will also be the case for 15/16 bit screenmodes.

 Once running press the following keys

 [Space, Return, Enter] = next color gradient
 [Backspace]            = previous color gradient
 [Escape]               = exit program

 Have fun with Amiga!
