- All ST and TT resolutions are the same. For a n-bitplane resolution
- (where STLow,TTMedium=4bitplanes, STMedium=2Bitplane, STHigh/TTHigh=1Bitplane,
- TTLow=8bitplanes) the layout is:
-
- word 0 word 1 word n-1
- 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ... 0000000000000000
-
-
- The colour of the first pixel in the top, left-hand corner of the screen is
- determined by the left-most bit in the first n planes of screen memory. The
- next pixel (to the right) is determined by the next bit in those bitplanes,
- and so on to the 15th pixel. The 16th pixel on the screen is determined
- by the left-most bit of the next n-words of screen memory.
-
- This scheme applies for STLow, STMedium, STHigh, TTLow, TTMedium, TTHigh,
- and all Falcon resolutions EXCEPT TrueColour, which is word-per-pixel.
