re vga graphics library in article mwca uucp bill mwca uucp bill sheppard writes many high end graphics cards come with c source code for doing basic graphics sorts of things change colors draw points lines polygons fills etc does such a library exist for generic vga graphics cards chips hopefully in the public domain this would be for the purpose of compiling under a non dos operating system running on a standard pc i m also interested in info both public domain and commercial graphics library package to do pc vga graphics i m currently working on a realtime application running on a pcc with a non dos kernel that needs to do some simple graphics i m not sure if reentrancy of the graphics library is going to be an issue or not i suspect i ll implement the display controller as a server process that handles graphics requests queued on a mailbox one at a time if this provides sufficiently frequent display updates then i believe that i can restrict all graphics operations to be performed by the server and thus constrain access to the library to a this single process and avoid the need for a reentrant graphics library being fairly new to the realtime systems world i may be overlooking something what do you think cheers bob fitzsimmons fitz cse ogi edu
