formats</strong></font></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I cannot explain here the bit to bit encoding of an image. Roughly, for
|
||||
a number of plans up to 8, a pixel is associated to a colour index in a
|
||||
palette. Thus, this index points to the true colour of the pixel. Starting
|
||||
with 15 plans, we are in True Color, i.e., each pixel is associated with
|
||||
its colour value (thus with 15, 16, 24 or 32 bits). While in True Color,
|
||||
it's fairly easy, in palette mode (bit-plane) it becomes quickly complex,
|
||||
because each pixel has one of its bits coded in a 16 bits word. This bit
|
||||
should be searched, the different bits from one pixel should be put
|
||||
together, etc... This becomes quickly tiring and, to be fast, this
|
||||
requires assembly optimisation. Thankfully, <em><strong>VISION</strong></em>
|
||||
proposes functions to simplify your work with
|
||||
<a href="vapi/index.htm#Pr<50>sentation">VAPI</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em><strong>VISION</strong></em>'s LDVs can work in any of the 3
|
||||
following formats (note that there is no interesst for your LDV to handle
|
||||
the 3 formats, <em><strong>VISION</strong></em> will transmit the required
|
||||
format):</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Standard format</li>
|
||||
<li>ATARI format</li>
|
||||
<li>Specific format</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This little table specifies these different formats ((R = Red, G =
|
||||
Green, B = Blue):</p>

Standard mode, planes are interlaced ((Plan0 - Plan1 - Plan2 -

|
||||
|
||||
<p>As far as possible, use the specific format, because it uses the less
|
||||
memory. If your LDV has only to handle lines and columns, you don't have
|
||||
to pay attention to internal pixel coding, the vro_... VDI functions will
|
||||
handle it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have to handle pixels, I recommand to use the ATARI format,
|
||||
because <em><strong>VISION</strong></em> allows to get very easily the
|
||||
indexes through its <a
|
||||
href="vapi/index.htm#Pr<50>sentation">VAPI</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The standard format is not very useful, except internally in
|
||||
<em><strong>VISION</strong></em> to display the images correctly. except
|
||||
if you have developed equivalent functions to those proposed in
|
||||
<a href="vapi/index.htm#Pr<50>sentation">VAPI</a>, I would advise not to use
|
||||
this format.</p>

<p><a name="prog"></a><font size="4"><strong>2.2 Programing</strong></font></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You have to know how to program in C! Normally, LDVs do not depend on
|
||||
the compiler (I did my best but, as I use only Pure C, I cannot be really
|
||||
sure).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You have to be fluent in C and not be afraid of handling pointers on
|
||||
structures and functions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you know LDGs, this will be useful but it is not mandatory, the LDV
|
||||
skeleton hides them fairly well.</p>
