Prometheus Truecolour (OpenPTC) is a third-generation standard for cross
|
|
platform low-level graphics access. A lot of design experience has gone into
|
|
it to provide one of the cleanest APIs available for this kind of purpose.
|
|
|
|
OpenPTC will provide you with a frame-buffer to draw into. You can choose
|
|
that buffer to use a pixel format convenient for you, OpenPTC will convert
|
|
it to the video modes on the target platform, using highly optimised
|
|
x86 and MMX routines where available. This is achieved using the HERMES
|
|
((c)1998/99 Christian Nentwich et al) pixel conversion library.
|
|
|
|
OpenPTC 1.0 is available for X11, GGI (Linux), Win32, DOS and JAVA. Work for
|
|
other platforms is in progress. All implementations of PTC come with full
|
|
source code and may be used free of charge even in commercial projects.
