To answer yet another Frequently Asked Question: What you need is a brand new book called _Bit-Mapped Graphics_ by Steve Rimmer. Publisher is Windcrest. Price is $26.95. Cody's and Stanford Book Store should have it (I got mine at Cody's). Quoting from the back cover: **************************************************************** You'll learn how to: * Navigate through MacPaint, GEM/IMG, PC Paintbrush, GIF, and Tiff graphics file formats * Use different types of graphics drivers -- including Hercules, CGA, EGA, and VGA * Reproduce graphics on LaserJet, dot matrix, and PostScript printers. * Create bit-mapped graphics with object-oriented programming techniques * Use dithering and other algorithmic image manipulation methods **************************************************************** I've just cracked the cover so I can't review it yet; I'll post when I know more. A brief thumbing-through reveals a lot of C source and a sprinkling of 8086 assembler. Looks like a lot of meat. Ken (shiva@well.sf.ca.us)
