Hi,

This one will probably only make sense to anyone who used to code or know
anything about the Amiga, it was possible to alter one colour every scanline
so you could have a 256 colour gradient background on a 2 colour screen
(320x256), is there anything similar I can do on the Yaroze.

I could setup a gradient box, except there is no reference to a Gradient Box
function in the manuals there is a structure for one in the libs however, I
could setup 320 Gradient Lines but that just doesn't sound like the best
way, that I suppose leave setting up a gradient polygon?

I know this is basic stuff but I'm guilty of not touching the yaroze for a
few months and it's all gone, other stuff has pushed that out of my head,
only limited registers you see :-) (7 at last count)

Nigel
