Does anyone know what the fastest way to put graphics on the screen is?
I have a View/ViewPort/RastPort (no intuition stuff as far as screens/windows)
and I want to put graphics on it quickly.  I tried DrawImage, which is an
Intuition Function, and that bombed, even though I had the Image structure
set up correctly, but I guess that's to be expected.  I would Use ClipBlit
but that coppies from one bitmap to another, which is no help if I can't
get the graphic onto a bitmap in the first place!  As of now the image is
stored as an intuition Image, should I change the format?  How would I go
about writing it directly into the bitmap? Should the DrawImage function 
work even though I'm not using intuition, but have a RastPort?
Thanks in advance!
