1. Newest TrueColor Mode Library
--------------8E2A09CACA590A3E3359E9A5
attached is my latest, best true color mode library to date.
many many things make this library the easiest, and nearly
fastest way to program in the true color modes.
it's based upon the library from chris street, but...
that library and this library are *far* apart.
i've reworked, tweaked, polished, bulletproofed and
expanded until the two libraries are really quite separate
entities now. this version is very stable, accurate,
fast, and replete with 'stuff'.
not only is the basic library updated with things like
lines and circles and screen capturing and etc...
there are also two helper libraries, one for mouse!
(yes, the first mouse library for true color modes, and
it's fast, responsive, stable, and has a few niceties
of it's own) and the other for text (boring you say? nay!
it's *truecolor* text and can look quite sharp, and includes
a version of puts and putsxy (both) that can directly replace
puts from euphoria)
so, i'm posting a zipped copy of the entire library to here
and the user page both, that way whoever wants it can get it
(hopefully) in one of those two forms.
please, read the readme and the doc files, then play around
with it, and if you need some demo's cuz you're not sure
how to use it (after reading the docs), i'll try to oblige
as i can (i do have many many "demos"/"test programs" that
i have been using to bulletproof the library laying around...)
enjoy--Hawke'

Hawke, and others, when possible, please include a download site for
attached mail items such as this...where we screwedup mail recipients can go
to get it.

OK. Please e-mail a couple of test progs.
I wrote the following: It draws a series of boxes in beautiful
colors, then shows a squashed and gray-scaled version of the
bitmap file, before locking up the computer totally.
I think I did something wrong, but what?
include truecolr.e
object clouds
atom x
InitDisplay()
for i = 1 to 200 by 10 do
true_box(10+i,10+i,100+i,100+i,{33,24,i},1)
end for
clouds = read_bitmap("CLOUDS.BMP")
clouds = convert_bitmap(clouds)
display_true_image({1,1},clouds)
