- Short: CyberGraphX Extension Update
- Author: fmariak@chaosengine.ping.de,marvin@sun.ph-cip.uni-koeln.de
- Uploader: vgr@best.com (Robert C. Reiswig)
- Type: gfx/board
-
-
- The CyberGraphX system was designed to define an independant graphics
- standard for graphics boards. We also wanted to continue our development
- of graphics extensions. We could include all our knowledge of about 3 years
- of gfx board software development (graphics extensions for Visiona, Domino,
- Picasso II and now the CyberVision64).
-
- CyberGraphX is based on hardware dependant monitor drivers and hardware
- independant libraries. This has some advantages: Bug fixes in the graphics
- extension or speed optimizations is of benefit for ALL gfx boards that are
- supported by the CyberGraphX system.
-
- CyberGraphX allows using of 15/16/24 screens independant of the used
- color model. You are able to use the cybergraphics.library functions to
- modify this screens.
-
- Currently there are versions for: CyberVision64/3D
- CyberVision64
- Domino
- Picasso II
- Picasso II+
- Spectrum
- Piccolo Z2/3
- Piccolo SD64
- Retina BLT Z3
- A2410
- DraCo Altais

- CHANGES:
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.111
- ------------------------------
- - graphics/BitMapScale() now also supports scaling of chunky,hicolour and
- truecolour bitmaps. It only worked for planar destinations before.
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.108
- ------------------------------
- - gained some speed when allocating true colour bitmaps with
- graphics/AllocBitMap() that don't need to be cleared. This may improve
- window refresh performance sligtly for large windows.
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.107
- ------------------------------
- - flood fills are a bit faster for planar bitmaps now. This should improve
- performance for certain flood fill operations on workbench icons.
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.106
- ------------------------------
- - improved speed auf RECTFMT_LUT8 WritePixelArray()/cybergraphics call
- on 15/16 bit rgb colour screens. Apps like Frodo4.0 which use
- WritePixelArray/RECTFMT_LUT8 may gain a litte speed due to the
- optimized call. Stack usage increases though.
-
- - BitMapScale()/graphics patch trashed 68k data register D7 in some cases.
- This is now fixed.
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.105
- ------------------------------
- - improved speed auf RECTFMT_LUT8 WritePixelArray()/cybergraphics call
- on 8 bit screens. It should be as fast as WritePixelArray8()/graphics
- patch now. Apps or games which have cybergraphx support and use
- WritePixelArray/RECTFMT_LUT8 instead of WritePixelArray8 may gain a
- litte speed due to the optimized call.
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.104
- ------------------------------
- - added some code to get powersnap working on truecolour screens
-
- cybergraphics Revision 40.103
- ------------------------------
- - Due to a bug in the rect filling code, swapping/toggling of simple refresh
- windows got really slow unter truecolour screens with previous v2 versions.
- There is really a VISIBLE speed INCREASE with that fixed now when using
- simple refresh windows.
-
- - added flood()/graphics replacement. Programs like PPaint should now work
- completely without chipram when cybergraphics/PLANES2FAST=1
-
- cybergraphics Revision V40.95
- ------------------------------
- - fixes serious bug in FillPixelArray (register A6 was trashed under
- certain conditions)
-
-
- cyberintuition Revision V40.34
- ------------------------------
- - the tags SA_Draggable,SA_DClip,SA_BlockPen,SA_DetailPen are
- now supported correctly
- - fixed some problems with 8bit screens when no SA_Depth tag
- was supplied and the NOCHIPSCREEN is enabled
