Hi..

Starting as a newbie in delphi, i would like to know how to
use the old mode 13h bitmaps to a delphi canvas.
The way i know it is allocating some 64000 bytes of memory,
manipulating this block of data, (drawing and stuff ;-) and then
moving it to the graphics adapter (move[mybuffer,vgaaddr,64000])

I would like to do the same in delphi: defining some canvas, setting up
the palette (or redefining the colors of the image to the windows
palette) and "moving" my 64000 byte buffer to the canvas..

Maybe its a better idea converting the image to a bmp-file, then using
loadfromfile(..) and Strechting it to the canvas..
However, i still like to do some realtime manipulations on my buffer
(like fire, and text) etc, for which i have some pretty efficient asm
routines..

Could anyone point me out (second time today ;-)) to a location,
direction, or whatsoever how to achieve this ??

Many much thanx in advance..
Alex.

Hi there

Check out Microsoft for DISPDIB. For 16 bit development, ut works great.
You will have to convert a small C header.
