Could someone please email me (or post) an example of simple line drawing using Lattice C. I am enrolling in a graduate class in computer graphics in the fall and I want to use my amiga to do my assignments with. However the Lattice C manual gives no examples of the necessary library calls one must do to setup the amiga to do graphics. the simpler the example the better ( line drawing or the like, ray tracing would be too complex) thanks for your help, I am looking forward to programming the amiga. email to charbonneau@crd.ge.com michael | Michael R.

The lattice manual does not give examples on calling the Amiga OS. You need the following books by Addison Wesley: Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual: Libraries and Devices # examples on the use of many system calls. ISBN 0-201-18187-8 Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual: Includes and Autodocs # system call reference manual. ISBN 0-201-18177-0 There is also a book called "The AmigaDOS Manual", published by Bantam that documents the dos library. Additionally, you should look into a number of third-party books that document the system. All of these books are available at your local book store. -- -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - (215) 431-9421 - Commodore Business Machines uucp: ...{uunet,rutgers}!cbmvax!ken bix: kfarinsky

I am enrolling in a graduate class in computer The Lattice compiler comes with several example programs in a directory called "Examples" on one of the distribution disks. One of them is a simple line drawing program similar to the original Amiga 'lines' demo. -- John Meissen ..............................

This, however, is not true. Amiga-specific books are very hard to find.
