nanDECK - What's new in version 1.11

Wizard for every directive

There is a Tutorial for this improvement.

New ELSEIF directive

Now the structure IF..ENDIF has a new directive:

IF=(condition)
...
ELSEIF=(condition)
...
ELSEIF=(condition)
...
ELSE
...
ENDIF

New CHROMAKEY directive

With whis directive you can pick the color to be used for transparency for IMAGE directive, for example:

CHROMAKEY=#FF0000

New UNIT directive

Now you can use cm, mm or inches in your script:

UNIT=CM

UNIT=MM

UNIT=INCH

Flags H/V for mirroring in TEXT and IMAGE directives

This is an example:

IMAGE="1","ilsa.gif",0,0,3,4.5,0,"P"
IMAGE="1","ilsa.gif",3,0,3,4.5,0,"PH"
IMAGE="1","ilsa.gif",3,4.5,3,4.5,0,"PHV"
IMAGE="1","ilsa.gif",0,4.5,3,4.5,0,"PV"

And this is the result:

New TEXTLIMIT directive (with variables TR, TL, TT, TB) for text's boundaries

This is an example:

FONT=Arial,16,,#000000
TEXT=1,"This is a test",0,0,6,2,center,center
TEXTLIMIT=1
LINE=1,TL,0,TL,2,#000000,0.05
LINE=1,TR,0,TR,2,#000000,0.05
LINE=1,0,TT,6,TT,#000000,0.05
LINE=1,0,TB,6,TB,#000000,0.05

And this is the result:

New IMAGESIZE directive (with variables IW, IH) for image width and height

You can store width and height of an image to be used later, for example to choose between portrait or landscape orientation for an image:

[range]=1-10
[image]="test.jpg"
IMAGESIZE=[range],[image]
IF={IW}>{IH}
IMAGE=[range],[image],0,4,6,5,0,P
ELSE
IMAGE=[range],[image],0,4,6,5,90,P
ENDIF

Added parameters for skew x/y in IMAGE directive

This is an example:

IMAGE=1,"ilsa.gif",0.5,0.5,5,3.5,0
IMAGE=1,"ilsa.gif",0.5,4,5,2,0,V,80,0,0,-0.5,0

And this is the result:

Added parameters for outlined text in FONT/FONTRANGE directive

This is an example:

FONT=Arial,24,,#000000,#FFFFFF,0.03,0.03
TEXT=1,"This is a test",0,2,6,2,center,center
FONT=arial,24,T,#FFFFFF
TEXT=1,"This is a test",0,2,6,2,center,center

And this is the result:

Sequence support for size and position parameters

Now you can use a sequence for size and position parameters, like:

RECTANGLE=1-3,0|1|2,0|1|2,3|2|1,3|2|1,#0000FF|#00FF00|#FF0000

Fixed bug for IF..ELSE..ENDIF
