Need information as to how to get the .map
information from a displayed .gif WITHOUT going to color cycling and
entering <s>.
If that can not be accomplished, is there any way
to compare .map files to eliminate duplicates? I have a program which
compares .map files and lists dups, but if the .map is cycled, then saved, and
compared it doesn't list a duplicate since the first RGB entry is different due
to the rotation. What I am looking for is a comparision for duplication
regardless of the placement of the RGB values as long as they are in the
identical sequence between .map files.
I have multimap.exe, which is fine for comparision
if the .map has not been cycled. I have a .gif for which I
am trying to find the .map. I did, from a screen display, cycle the
colors; then entered <s>, saved to an entered file name. Exited
fractint, found the saved file and ran multimap.exe to find the .map in my .map
directory. No duplicate found, although I know it is there.
I then did a test: Took a known.map file,
cycled it, saved as above and did a multimap comparision. No duplicate was
found, and it is my guess that the cycling rotated the RGB order so that a
linear comparision, while correct, is not accurate.
Am I pissing into the wind? Or is there a
solution somewhere?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Even
negative responses.
