These modes can be used to see the inner workings of colourful artworks that
frequently use "foreground colour, new background, foreground colour",
particularly to show exactly which colours are represented by set or clear
sixels.
One mode renders all characters in white on a black background and the other
mode renders black characters on a white background. The latter could be used
to save ink if the resulting image is printed.
Flash is suppressed in these mono modes, this may or may not change.
Qt 5 has had to be dropped as CMakeLists.txt uses qt_* specific commands
which are implemented in Qt 6 onwards.
cmake --install is only working on Linux at the moment; it installs the
executable and the bundled example tti files into /usr/local/share/doc
The teletext decoder with its document storage has been moved to a
subdirectory with the intention of making it possible to use in other
projects, but some further separation of editing stuff will be needed.
When a selection box is dragged, holding Ctrl while pressing the arrow
keys will shift the mosaics one sixel at a time.
If a shifting sixel encounters a non-mosaic cell it will pass through to
the other side of it.
For cut and copy sixels are converted to a monochrome image; unset sixels
are black and set sixels are white. Alphanumerics and control codes are
ignored. Held mosaics are not considered.
For paste a clipboard with only an image is converted to black and white
for unset and set sixels. This only works reliably with fully-black and
fully-white pixels.
This reverts commit 7cd632b4e2.
The commit would cause the font icons to be inverted sometimes. This
reversion is altered to return the font bitmaps as a QPixmap instead of a
QBitmap to be compatible with Qt6.
