- In the doc-files there's a section about this topic. They write that the
- cybergraphics might obsolete as soon as it's merged with the
- graphics.library.
- There are just a few extra functions in the cybergraphics.library. Those are
- only needed to use >8bit screens, since the amiga's graphics.library doesn't
- support this. When the graphics.library will be upgraded to do full 24bit,
- the cybergraphics.library is obsolete. It's only temporary.
-
- Functions for opening screens and windows, bitmaps, all the stuff is doen
- through graphics.library. Cybergraphics patches the graphics.library to use
- the hardware available.
- ECS/AGA modes are used through graphics.library as well, so there's no point
- in using cybergraphics.library on such machines.
-
- Hope this helps...
