Hello all, I have need of some help.. I'd like to find out about general graphics stuff on the pc, animation included.. any references that anyone would care to give me gratefully received.. Sort of stuff I'd like to know about.. fast graphics formats the GIF format.. Graphics cards (VGA in particular.) The fastest way to get an image off disk and onto the screen (instantaneous would be ideal) Moving data from memory to video memory. Using extended memory. doing fade-in and fade-out.. anything else anyone cares to tell me.. I know this is really general but... the sort of stuff I'd like to get is program snippets (C, assembly would be nice, but not essential) book references, magazine references, ftp-able files, source to interesting graphics programs (where can I get fractint source by the way?) etc etc.. Anything would be helpful. A big thanks in advance. John. -- J. lives at JFSENIOR@vax1.tcd.ie 'They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad, Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's oh so sad.'
