MD+F WebAK is the one OS/2 tool which no website administrator can be
without.
Features:
GIF Animations:
---------------
WebAK provides the ability to load and take apart GIF animations, construct
them by simple drag-and-drop, test animations by playing them (even
supporting the Restore Previous method yet supported by Netscape), or
save them using a highly optimized algorithm for the smallest file size
possible. And unlike most other applications, WebAK is designed to also
create and work with GIF Animations containing hundreds of frames.
Pattern Generation:
-------------------
WebAK's Pattern Generator lets you create seamless patterns for use as
backgrounds or for inclusion in your animations. With additional tools
such as an Image Holder to store your patterns, a variety of filters for
touching-up, and an Image Tile tester, creating backgrounds for web pages
has never been any easier.
Imagemaps:
----------
WebAK's Imagemap Writer lets you highlight areas on an image, specify
links, and creates Server-side or Client-side imagemaps for you, with
or without HTML test code. Once you use this tool, you will never want
to hand-code Imagemaps again.
Scripting:
----------
WebAK's easy to use scripting language simplifies the tasks needed for more
complex animations, even for the most casual computer users. For more
advanced users, the scripting language (actually a C++ style interpreter)
provides more features such as the ability to create or destroy objects,
variables, test conditions, and looping constructs. Either way, you
can find dozens of interesting example scripts on Modular Dreams' website
to get you started.
Image formats and Alpha channel:
--------------------------------
WebAK support a variety of image formats including GIF, Jpeg, and lossless
Jpeg for loading images and some of the more common formats should you
wish to save single images. It also supports Alpha channels for specifying
transparency.
Collapse and Resurrect:
----------------------
By using WebAK's unique Collapse and Resurrect feature, you can store
not only the end result of your work, such as a GIF animation, but also
the steps that went into it, for example the GIF Animator window and its
settings, the various effect dialogs which you have open and even any
links you created by drag-and-dropping between objects. If you
create something neat, don't just tell others how to do it, give
them your whole environment. Everything, even images being displayed,
will be neatly stored in one file! Once you use the Collapse and
Resurrect feature provided by WebAK, you will wish all your other
programs did this.
