conicplanet 1.2 file released: conicplanet-1.2.tar.gz
ChangeLog for Conic Planet: 17 July 2000 Version 1.2 Added code for enhancment of contrast of the SSEC cloud image and smoothening of seam at 180 deg. longitude line in the SSEC cloud image. Added brightness and gamma-correction controls. Added support for greyscale (R=G=B) output. 5 July 2000 Version 1.1.1f Bug fix for a large error in scaling code. 5 July 2000 Version 1.1.1 Cloud handling code modified to include a threshold level for what clouds are shown. The option "smoothen" was added for generating image at a higher resolution and using a bilinear filter to resize it, so that aliasing artifacts are smoothened out. PNG support was added for output content-type. The output content-type is now set using the "contenttype" option. Some other minor tweaks. 27 June 2000 Version 1.1.0 Support for more planets, moons n' stuff. Another option "terminator" added. Clouds support added using the cloud information available at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of Wisconsin. Many thanks again to Hari Nair (I swear I tried it myself, but that border killed my mollweide->rectangular transformation). Added aclocal.m4 for detecting libjpeg. A PHP form (test.php) is included to view the program's various features. This can be used with a PHP-enabled webserver. 14 June 2000 Version 1.0.0 Initial public code-release Mukund Iyer muks@crosswinds.net
