Is there any way to control the allocation of bit planes into OVERDRAW
mode ? I want to draw an intricate picture into the NORMALDRAW bitplanes, 
then draw various processed pixels from that image on top of it into the
OVERDRAW mode bitplanes. I need at least as many bitplanes as in the NORMALDRAW
bitplanes (24 bits for my application).

I want to be able to show how an image processing algorithm (a variant 
edge detection) draws line with respect to its base image.

Cheers!


Dan.
