This was cross-posted to Newsgroups: comp.graphics, comp.graphics.digest Keywords: Animation, GPX I was wondering if anyone has been able to do some reasonably fast animation on a VAXstation II/GPX running VMS. Just filling the screen seems to be fairly slow using the UIS routines so I may be interested in a GPX device driver. I've scanned the VCB02 manual and there seems to be a lot of information about the logical layout of the video subsystem but not a lot of information about how to get at all this stuff. Since this would be my first device driver, I expect to crash the system several times. (That's why we get 1-2 user systems, right?) Any documentation leads, sample programs, names, etc are greatly appreciated. This includes any Unix based suggestions that may stand a chance of being ported to VMS. Maybe there's something in the X-windows arena? ---- Larry Herzlich herzlich@ngp.cc.utexas.edu University of Texas at Austin CCCS001@UTADNX -- BITnet Computation Center UTSPAN::UTAIVC::CCCS001 (SPAN) User Services Division ..!seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!herzlich
