Abstract:
Overlay planes provide an alternate set of frame buffer
bitplanes which can be preferentially displayed instead of
the normal set of bitplanes. Overlay planes have been
common in high-end graphics systems for some time. Recently,
work has been done by Silicon Graphics to integrate overlay
plane support into the X Window System. A standard convention
proposed and implemented by Silicon Graphics allows X
client writers to create windows in the overlay planes. This
article describes how to write programs to utilize
overlay planes.
