Syntax:
FRAMEBUFFER CREATE HorizontalSize%, VerticalSize%
FFRAMEBUFFER WRITE
FRAMEBUFFER BACKUP
FRAMEBUFFER RESTORE [x, y, w, h]
FRAMEBUFFER WINDOW x, y, page [,I or B]
FRAMEBUFFER CLOSE
Description:
This command allows you to create, use and remove a variable size framebuffer
which should make many applications which have a working area bigger than the
screen easier to program.
While using a framebuffer setting a different graphics mode which changes the
colour depth will cause an error. JPG files cannot be loaded to the framebuffer
and will error if tried.
The framebuffer is deleted by Ctrl-C and by running a new program.
FRAMEBUFFER CREATE HorizontalSize%, VerticalSize%
This command creates a framebuffer with the width and height specified in
pixels.
HorizontalSize>=MM.HRES and <=1600: VerticalSize>=MM.VRES and <=1200
FFRAMEBUFFER WRITE
This command sets all drawing commands to write to the framebuffer and inherit
the width and height defined.
FRAMEBUFFER BACKUP
This command creates a backup copy of the framebuffer. If a backup already
exists it is overwritten. This allows the programmer to save the background
before he/she starts writing non-static data to it.
NB: It won't be possible to use this command if a very large framebuffer is
specified in 12 or 16-bit colour depth. A sensible error will be given in this
case.
FRAMEBUFFER RESTORE [x, y, w, h]
This command restores all or part of the framebuffer from the backup. This
allows the programmer to “clean” all or part of the framebuffer before
adding new non-static items
FRAMEBUFFER WINDOW x, y, page [,I or B]
This command copies an area MM.HRES by MM.VRES from the framebuffer with top
left at x,y to the page specified,
The optional parameter specifies if the copy is Immediate or during frame
Blanking
FRAMEBUFFER CLOSE
This command releases the memory resources used by the framebuffer and
backup allowing a new framebuffer to be created with a different size
