Message-ID: <53050@aerospace.AERO.ORG> Date: 16 Jun 89 20:10:00 GMT References: Reply-To: srt@aero.UUCP (Scott "TCB" Turner) Organization: The Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, CA Lines: 17 DISCLAIMER: I use Turbo C myself. It seems to me that one possibility is to construct a screen image on one of the unused pages of graphics memory and then do a getimage() from there and a putimage() to the active page. Of course, you can also just switch the active page, if you want to change the entire display. Related Questions: Is there any way to tell how many pages of graphics memory are available? In Turbo it seems the only way is to switch to a page and check for an error. I presume the graphics memory is on the adapter card and is not being taken from core? Is there a good way to dump/retrieve images to file? -- Scott Turner
