View Modes Help Information
MandelVroom uses a custom Intuition
screen to display your projects. You
can use the View Modes item to
configure the kind of screen you
want used to display your project.
There are three sub-items that you
can use to configure your screen:
HIRES, INTERLACE and HALFBRITE.
HIRES and INTERLACE affect the
horizontal and verticle resolutions
of your screen. If there is a check
mark to the left of the HIRES
subitem, then your screen has 640
pixels horizontally, otherwise it
will have 320 horizontal pixels.
In 320 pixel mode, you can have 32
colors. In 640 pixel mode, you can
only have 16 colors.
If there is a check mark to the left
of the INTERLACE, your screen will
have 400 pixels vertically. If
INTERLACE is not checked, then your
screen is 200 pixels tall.
Below is a chart summarizing the
resolution and maximimun number of
colors available to you using
HIRES and INTERLACE.
\ HIRES
\ not |
INTERLACE \ checked | checked
----------+---------+--------
not | 320x200 | 640x200
checked | 32 | 16
----------+---------+--------
| 320x400 | 640x400
checked | 32 | 16
If you happen to have a PAL machine,
verticle resolutions are 256 or 512.
The last View Mode is called
HALFBRITE. HALFBRITE and HIRES are
mutually exclusive. In HALFBRITE
mode you have 64 colors, where the
last 32 colors have their Red, Green
and Blue values are half the values
of the first 32 colors.
If you choose the colors correctly,
you can have added usefull added
hues in your picture.
One thing to note is that each
project has it's own View Modes. If
the current project has a HIRES-
INTERLACE screen, and you make
another project current, by
pressing it's "C" gadget, and it's
View Modes differ from the previous
current project's View Modes, a new
screen is opened to match the new
current project's View Modes.
