Hi All,

New project is underway. Still very early days, but we gotta start someplace.

What does it do?

Comix unpacks a cbr/cbz file and then displays it page by page via OpenGL.

Where is it?

http://sillypages.org/sgi/comix/

How do I make it?

0. Build and install my VkNew library
1. Unpack comix and modify the Compiler flags at the top of the Makefile to suit your setup.
2. Build comix.

Both VkNew and comix should compile cleanly with MIPSpro and GNU make.

If you want to have a looksey at the code, run the 'resume' script. It will load the relevant files into nedit for you. As ever, I disclaim being any good at writing C++, all I can say is that the code compiles for me on redbox.

How do I use it?

0. File->Open to open a cbz/cbr file.

1. [right arrow] or [down arrow] to go to next page.
2. [left arrow] or [up arrow] to go previous page.
3. [PgUp] to jump to the beginning of the 'comic'.
4. [PgDn] to jump to the end of the 'comic'.

5. Resize the window to force comix to display the whole page.

Major Caveat: the filename handling in Comix is fragile. In particular, jpeg filenames inside the cbz/cbr files with CR/LF stuck to their names, wont display properly. Fixing this is on the TODO list.

Dassit for now.

just in case i attached the finished package. just add its lib dir to the LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH.
in case of a dso that's only used for one program a static build usually is better. jimmer might consider that.

Thanks, j & f. My excuse is, I only had about ten minutes to play with it, otherwise the dog would pee on the floor ...

It opens, it runs, kind of interesting. I had no problems with file handliing. Some things :

The splash screen is nice, could you replace the Help -> Product Information with that or is that something we are stuck with ? I've always thought that the About screens in Irix were awful. $10,000 application and the About looks like some spastic kindergartener created it.

Grabbed a comic for test, whoo boy. Spears into flaming eye sockets, hunh ?

Display is excellent, sharp as a tack. However, at high resolution, I can't see an entire page. And there's no sliders ... not that I'd want sliders, resizing the page would be better.

foetz has a good point, for most people a single executable would be more convenient. It's not very big.

This could become the quick-n-dirty graphics application for Irix. I can see where it could do everything that Pho and the other thingy I found do. In fact, it could be SGI's Answer to Irfanview .... nice, J. Real nice.

Where's all the guys who want to open source Irix ? Time to step up to the plate and make yourselves useful ...

edit : ah. I see what happens with the size. In the vertical direction, if you expand the window, the display grows until it hits the horizontal width of the window. Then it adds a grey area above the size of the jpg. In the horizontal direction, if you widen the display window it grows right out the top of the screen without adding a slider bar or hitting a limit and adding an empty area. Easy to work around for the moment, but I would think that eventually the slider bars would be necessary, in case you want to zoom in on one area.

Are these comics all pornography without the sex, or just the one I grabbed ? It's kind of ... interesting :shock:

edit_2 : ah_again ... Made a comic book by zipping up a bunch of jpegs. We scooted right through the stack nicely. Lots of interesting possibilities. Now if I can just talk the Assistant into doing a little posing ... "It's for a comic book ! really !"

Fair point. I have removed the dependency on VkNew. For extra Hamei Happiness this means there's also nothing going on in /usr/local anymore. Downside is that there's no pretty splash screen for the moment.

ViewKit giveth, ViewKit taketh away. I'm using the stock viewkit 'about' stuff. That said, it is possible to override the default ViewKit help menu. Issue added to the very bottomest bottom of the TODO list.

I've changed the scaling and centering in 0.3.1. Please report back if this issue is solved.

Changes in 0.3.1:

- removed dependency on VkNew
- better image scaling and centering in the viewing window
- added a little statusbar thingy

I can't actually tell the difference but thought the same as foetz, VkNew is good, just static that hummer. It's small, we don' need no steenking dso's

- better image scaling and centering in the viewing window

It's ... different. Keep in mind that these are extreme numbers, so if it works here you probably won't have a problem with smaller sizes.

The image auto-centers now, that's nice.

As you drag the lower edge of the window down and down, the image gets larger and larger until ... poof ! it disappears. Drag the bottom edge back up and it reappears. Drag the side of the window frame and the image continuously self-centers (appropriate for today's society) until it reaches a certain point, then smallens in vertical height.

I dunno. For reading a comic book, this way is good. For zooming in on the gratuitous panty shots, the other way was better. Not sure what to say here ... but maybe I preferred the other method, since it was a little more versatile.

- added a little statusbar thingy

Little is the operative word

Not a bad idea, tells you where you are in the series of jpegs.

Code: Select all


Reader::navigate() - page: 2


Reader::navigate() - page: 3


Reader::navigate() - page: 4


Reader::navigate() - page: 5


Reader::navigate() - page: 6


Reader::navigate() - page: 7


...


Reader::navigate() - page: 24

However, don't think I saw the following before ? No idea what it means ?

Code: Select all


RGB, unsigned char


RGB, unsigned char


...


RGB, unsigned char


RGB, unsigned char


RGB, unsigned char

Is it a little faster, or is that just because I'm looking at a smaller version ?

Comix version 0.3.2:

- Core: improved filename handling
- Core: rewritten unpack/load routines
- Core: opens CBZ/CBR file where you left off
- UI: filename now shown in window title bar
- UI: page numbers centered under image
- Makefile: a little more quiet

The opens-where-you-left-off thing is a little slow at the moment when you restart comix after having loaded a large comic. This will improve when the 'load each image from disk' option is implemented.

Also there's a buglet with the pagination on the first and last images; the usual off by 1 thing. Hopefully fixed in 0.3.3.

Sounds like you're not linking to the Viewkit library, which IIRC is libiVk.so - no idea why there's an "i" between the lib part and the Vk part but then again who knows why sgi did anything the way they did... :lol:

jimmer is a mean man

But I finally figured out that I never installed the debug Viewkit libaries ... oops. So, drop the -DEBUG directive and change the libraries from /usr/local/lib (you really have your ViewKit there, jimmer ?) to /usr/Motif-2.1/lib32 and awaaaay she goes !

The centered "page 1 of 32" thing looks nice. The progress bar looks very Irix-native. File handling looks very Irix-native, maybe needs a filtration option ? Image scaling still needs some work ... full-screening is interesting

Looks pretty good tho ... lots of potential. Don't waste your time on tardists, j. You keep banging on useful code, someone else can knock out binaries ...

Hello All,

Apologies for the delay in dropping a new tarball, blame Real Life(tm) and all that jazz.

Comix can now load an entire CBR/CBZ file into memory or be told to load each page from disk one at a time. The obvious advantage is that Comix might run a little better on low-memory machines. The less obvious advantage is that this code can now be used as a base for a generic image viewer. The downside is that page display will be slightly slower in the 'load from disk' case as each time you flip a page the image data needs to be loaded from sloooow disk rather than fst memory.

Next release will be mostly UI related things.
