Title: Z-view
Post by: zautrix on January 04, 2005, 06:07:50 pm
Hi,

one can easily make platform independent presentations with OpenOffice and IndeView.

I have hacked together a viewer for such presentations.
You need an XGA-CF VGA card for the Z, of course.
Supported are 640x460 and 800x600 pixel output and the IR remote control.
You can find it here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=140052 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=140052)

Happy presenting!

Here are the release notes, the first release is 0.9.0:


Z-Viewer - a presentation viewer frontend
for IndeView™ presentations (www.indeview.org)

To use this program, you need a Zaurus and a XGA CF-VGA card for the Zaurus.


1.) Create an IndeView presentation.
2.) Copy the DATA directory of that presentation to the zview subdirectory
     of your Sd card, CF card or in the /home/zaurus/zview directory.
     Rename the DATA directory to a senseful name for your presentation.
3.) Choose the actual project directory in the "Project" TAB.
4.) Choose the ouptut resolution in the "Input/Output" TAB.
5.) Verify that all needed *.png files are listed in the "Images" TAB.
6.) Turn on IR recognition and output to VGA card in the "Input/Output" TAB.
7.) Select the topmost entry in the "Images" TAB.
8.) Start your presentation.
9.) Coose the image to display in the "Images" TAB or via the IR remote control.
