rawToAmigaBasicShape: Coerce raw data into an AmigaBasicShape class object

Description

Coerce raw data into an AmigaBasicShape-class object

Usage

rawToAmigaBasicShape(x, palette)

Value

returns an AmigaBasicShape-class object.

Arguments

x

A vector of raw data that is to be converted into an AmigaBasicShape class object.

palette

A vector of character strings, where each element represents a colour in the palette. This palette will be used to display the graphics (note that the raw format does not store the palette, but this S3 class does). When this argument is omitted a grey scale palette will be generated.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
filename <- system.file("ball.shp", package = "AmigaFFH")

## read as binary:
con      <- file(filename, "rb")
ball.raw <- readBin(con, "raw", file.size(filename))
close(con)

## convert raw data into something useful:
ball     <- rawToAmigaBasicShape(ball.raw)

## A shortcut would be to call read.AmigaBasicShape
ball2    <- read.AmigaBasicShape(filename)
}
