Super VGA is the new industry standard in computer display equipment. That's why programmers and others interested in the workings of this powerful graphics mode will want to read "Super VGA Graphics: Programming Secrets". Like most display hardware, SVGA is poorly documented - the available information is highly technical and lacks practical instruction. But this book by computer graphics specialist Steve Rimmer changes all that. Rimmer's step-by-step guidance and ready-to-use source code, will allow readers to generate and work with graphics files that take full advantage of the SVGA file format. The code for a special shareware version of the author's own Desktop Paint 256 provides the basis for learning how to create screen and mouse drivers, work with fonts, manipulate full colour images, create bitmaps, draw lines and text, print SVGA graphics, and more. "Super VGA Graphics" provides details on working with today's most popular display cards: Paradise; Oak Technologies; ATI VGA Wonder; Headland; Trident; Ahead; Tseng Labs; S3; and VESA. C and assembly language programmers will find all the practical information and sample source code they need to develop professional-quality drivers for these leading graphics cards. And, as an alternative to all the highly technical tomes on graphics programming, "Super VGA Graphics" presents it all in lively, understandable terms that professional and casual programmers alike can appreciate.
