* ivtools-0.7 now supports the download and save/restore of graphic files by URL, a form of hyper-structured-graphics as first defined by William Chia-Wei Cheng, the author of Tgif.
To try it out, acquire or build a copy of ivtools drawtool from the 0.7 release, and launch like this:
drawtool http://www.vectaport.com/ivtools/anteaters.drs
There is also support for opening/importing any combination of gzip'ed, compress'ed, or uncompressed image files (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PGM, PGM, PPM) and PostScript files (idraw format or the non-raster portion of arbitrary PostScript). Beta testers wanted to try out the various combinations, and to write sample hyper-graphic documents. Forward any sample URL's you want pointed to by ivtools web pages.
* ivtools-0.7 now incorporates a new server that is an experiment in
encapsulating the capabilities of the class libraries of the Image Understanding
Environment (IUE) within the command language of comterp. Use the --with-iue and
--with-iue-libs arguments to configure to set up for it if
you have a copy. See ivtools-0.7/src/iueserv/README for further details.
