- The Graphics Package (graphics_pak) is one of my useful packages of simple
- functions for quick and easy programming of standard graphics operations.
-
- The package gives simple one-call functions to allocate, manipulate, and free
- BitMaps, open and close libraries, and draw pixels, lines, rectangles, and
- text. These are quite simple, and normally replace two or three lines of code
- to accomplish the same thing. Some of these should have been done as macros,
- but these are easier to modify. If you are looking for speed, and don't want
- the extra function-calling overhead, the drawing functions are probably
- worthless. However, I use the library functions in all my programs:
-
- An example:
-
- OpenLibraries(GFXBASE|INTUITIONBASE|DISKFONTBASE);
- .
- .
- .
- CloseLibraries(); /* easy, huh? */
-
-
- Don't forget to include the "graphics_pak.h" file in your programs.
-
- Refer to "graphics_pak.doc" for more info.
-
- Feel free to use these functions or the object module in your programs. If
- you end up just linking in the graphics_pak.o object module, kindly mention
- me in your credits, eh? Enjoy.
