- That's not completely true. As the boopsi system is quite open for any
- extension, it's possible to do everything. Okay suppose you want to display a
- picture with multiview you simply have to implement a render/update method in
- your datatype. I do a check if the rastport belongs to a cybergfx screen and
- if so render 24 datas. I also implemented a new method to get the rgb datas
- from outside. So I can use the datatype also for loading some pictures. I
- guess there can be an unlimited of options/functions be done.

-
- No, by the application that use the datatype(gadget).
