About Fastgraph
---------------
Fastgraph is a programmer's graphics library. It is a collection of
low-level functions that are designed to give the programmer complete
control over a DOS-based IBM-compatible computer. Fastgraph is
written in highly optimized assembly language, and is characterized
by blindingly fast speed. Here are some of the features of Fastgraph:
-- Support for Microsoft C, Turbo C and C++, Borland C++, QuickC,
Power C, Microsoft FORTRAN, Turbo Pascal, QuickBASIC
-- Small, Medium and Large memory models
-- 22 different video modes, including VGA, extended VGA, EGA, MCGA,
Hercules, Tandy, CGA and various text modes
-- Automatic video mode detection
-- Graphics primitives: points, lines, rectangles, ellipses
-- Flood fills
-- Scrolling and panning
-- Bitmaps, masked and unmasked, mode-dependent and mode-independent
-- Clipping
-- Dithering
-- Replacement/and/or/xor modes
-- Physical, virtual and logical video page management
-- Fast area transfer from any video page to any other video page
-- Pixel run displays
-- PCX support
-- Utility programs to create and edit graphics files
-- ROM Text and software characters
-- Animation
-- Mouse, keyboard, joystick, timing, music and sound effects
-- Programmer defined world space coordinate system
-- Fadein, fadeout special effects
-- 450 page manual
-- 130 example programs
-- Voice, BBS, and echo-mail technical support
Fastgraph/Light is a subset of Fastgraph. Fastgraph/Light is
shareware. It does everything Fastgraph does, excluding functions
requiring real numbers, such as the world space coordinate system,
and the variable-sized character font. Fastgraph/Light requires a
runtime module FGDRIVER.EXE which is loaded as a TSR. The
professional version of Fastgraph is a linked-library requiring no
external drivers.
Fastgraph has been used in the following shareware and commercial
programs: Scramble, the Las Vegas EGA Casino, MicroBucks II,
MicroBucks III, Video Poker a la Carte, Big Bertha, Klondike, Keno,
Test Drive III, Day of the Viper, Gunboat, Steel Thunder, Once Upon a
Time volumes I, II, and III, Puppet Playhouse, BattleCruiser 3000 AD,
Eye of Horus, Las Vegas Bingo Club, Cyberwars, Jazz Magic, more.
