As the subject suggests, I want to graphics at the GPSI level on a sun4 with a CG9 (and a GP2). I have the GPSI programmers reference manual, and it, (in the first two appendices) refers to example code on the distribution tape, which I'm told did not actually come with it. I have been attempting to follow the instructions, but many of them look not to have been updated since CG9s came along, in that they refer to 8 bit fields for specifying bitplane masks, while the CG9 has 24 bits. The CG9 manual does not refer to the GPSI programming interface at all. What I'd really like is a minimal piece of code which draws a single Gouraud-shaded triangle with 3-d vertices. From that I should be able to deduce what I'm missing (or whether the hardware is performing according to its documentation). I'd settle for anything that is guaranteed to use the GPSI level interface to make the graphics processor change the appearance of the screen. Thanks in advance. klassen@cs.cornell.edu
