These are some tools for manipulating HGR Apple 2 graphics.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
pcx2hgr: converts a 140x160 (or 140x192) PCX image file
into an Apple II HGR graphics file that can
be loaded with "BLOAD IMAGE,A$2000"
To get it to work, create an image with the GIMP.
Scale to 140x160. Save as indexed with the
included "hgr.pal" palette.
It also works with 280x160 but in that case it ignores
colors and only generates black and white output.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
shape_table: create an Apple shape table for use with
DRAW and XDRAW commands
can generate BASIC code to load it (via DATA) or
else a binary version that can be BLOADed
