[comp.unix.i386] Looking for VGA graphics routines for 386/ix

larry@focsys.uucp (Larry Williamson) (03/06/90)

We know how to put a VGA into graphics mode with little effort. What
we would like to avoid is writing all those nice little graphics
routines that do things like:

    draw points
    draw lines
    draw boxes
    draw circles
    get/set colour values
    text display (in graphics mode)
    read current display contents
    etc, etc, etc....

Has anyone tackled this?
