Neochrome

• Extensions: .neo

Neochrome was an image drawing program for the Atari ST.

16-bit words are stored in big-endian order.

typedef neochrome_file {
 uint16_t flags;                      /* always 0 */
 uint16_t resolution;                 /* 0 = low (320x200x16), 1 = medium (640x200x4), 2 = high (640x400x2) */
 uint16_t palette[16];                /* 9-bit RGB 00000RRR0GGG0BBB */
 uint8_t filename[12];                /* 8 '.' 3 */

 uint16_t x_offset;                   /* always 0 */

}

• Color animation limits

Bit 15 is set if animation data is valid. Bit 0-3 right/upper limit, bit 4-7 left/lower limit.

• Color animation speed and direction

Bit 15 is set if animation is on. Least significant byte should be interpreted as a signed byte and defines the number of vertical blanks between cycles. If it's negative, the number of vertical blanks is |x|-1 and the direction is backwards.

• Color animation steps

Number of steps to display before moving on to the next picture when the image is part of a slide show.
