Amiga Inc. Faq-O-Matic: How do I write directly to pixmap memory?

	Amiga Inc. Faq-O-Matic : Amiga Graphics FAQ : How do I write directly to pixmap memory?
	Is there any way to access the memory of a pixmap (getting the address for the first pixel and then write directly to that part of the memory), or has it got to be done through the copy, blit, plot, read, write tools? bek
	<answer courtesy of Daniel Adler> 1. Allocate memory for the given size of the pixmap frame buffer. 2. Open a specific pixmap instance and give it the pointer of your allocated memory 3. Write to the memory, and call update on the pixmap-object example: qcall lib/malloc,(6404804:buf) qcall ave/avo/pix/32bit/open,(buf,640,480,6404:pix) cpy $FF000000,[buf] ncall pix,update,(pix:-) <c translation by Patrick Roberts - blame me if it's wrong ;P > void pix; unsigned int buf; buf=(unsigned int )malloc(6404804); pix=ave_avo_pix_32bit_open((void )buf,640,480,6404); buf[0]=0xFF000000; ave_update(pix); artix*
