File Operations

  File Operations controls are selected at the lower left. 

  Action buttons in each application group are colored a little hotter.  In the FileOps group, these are:
- HFmerge,
- Gif2Tga, and
- Tga2Gif.

  To merge two .TGA heightfields, enter source and target filenames in the FileOps control panel data entry fields.
Then, select left-column radio-button method to merge data in files a and b:
- avg(a,b) average,
- a+b or a-b add or subtract,
- max(a,b)or min(a,b) maximum or minimum.
  or
Select right-column method to morph data only in file a:
- a+v% or a-v% stretch or squash,
- a below v% or a above v% truncate,
- a scale v% or a+rand(v%) linear or random scale.
Then click HFmerge. 

Gif2Tga and Tga2Gif
  For translation between .GIF and .TGA, enter I/O filenames in the corresponding fields prior to clicking Gif2Tga or Tga2Gif. 

  File Operations controls are colored manila yellow.
