[net.graphics] help needed about tecmar graphics board

wei@princeton.UUCP (P Wei) (02/04/86)

I decided to take advantage of the claimed resolution of 700x400
with 4 colors (or 640x400 with 16 colors) on the tecmar graphics board.
The reason was that the experimental data looked distorted in the ibm cga
hi-res mode (640x200).
I used the short basic program supplied in the manual to play it around.
The resolution looked good. However, The image showed flicker once a while
and my eye couldn't stand it for a long (1~2 min) time.
Is this the froblem with tecmar board? Anyway to avoid it ?
Also I used "ESC [ Q" plus a charater to see the text on the screen. It
is too small in those high resolution mode. Anyway to enlarge it ?
My hardware configurations:
IBM-PC DOS 2.0 with device driver supplied by tecmar (General Terminal
Emulation software v4.0)
Tecmar graphics board configured as ibm cga mode.
NEC character display monitor.
Thanks in advance for any help.
