[alt.msdos.programmer] Basic EGA/VGA graphics functions

n8840371@henson.cc.wwu.edu (Todd B. Crowe) (04/13/91)

The recent discussions of 3D graphics (and a graphics course I'm taking
now) have sparked my interest into doing some PC graphics programming of
my own.  To do that I would like to get a hold of some fast, basic
graphics functions (e.g point plotting, lines, polylines, [maybe] filled
polygons, etc.).  I'd prefer to have (assembly) source or a public domain
version of these routines.  Does anyone know of a good PD package, or would
anyone be willing to offer some of there own code?

Short of free software could anyone mention shareware or commercial
libraries that would fit the bill?  I've looked at several of the
current shareware libraries and none (at least those I've seen) look very
impressive.  I've also noticed several people recommending METAWindow.
Would that be a good package to get?  (I've noticed that there are
several versions of METAWindow, do the low-end versions only include
TSR-support - i.e. no linkable library?)

BTW, recently there was posted a program called ROTDEMO.EXE (impresive)
by Kevin Stokes.  Is the source code available for that?

Thanks.
