Date: Fri, 02 Jan 1998 12:17:37 +0000 Organization: Bacardi Ferrari V12 Lines: 23 Message-ID: <34ACDAE1.5327@manc.u-net.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: manc.u-net.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) OK, after a couple of days messing around, I'm quickly getting the hang of this thing. Sure is easier than PC! The question is as the title says, do I HAVE to use double buffering in order to see my screen? I am fine if I use it but I don't want to! How do I set the screen offset of the frame buffer (to 0,0 say) for my visual area (I'm using a 640x512 virtual screen). I could do it with DBing but I'd have to MoveImage everything twice - to both pages. Mmmm.. Or I could set both pages to the same frame buffer area... Another question - I can get into PAL mode (it's B/W and fuzzy on my monitor if in NTSC) fine, but the working area still is only 240 pixels high (even though I have put 256 : GsInitGraph(320, 256, 0, 0, 0); Help please!!! Jim PS Expect a working demo on my page in one week! -- ----------------------------------------- James Shaughnessy james@manc.u-net.com http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~shaughnj -----------------------------------------
