1. graphic mode difficulty
Hi all, I'm really new to this but maybe somebody has had the same
problem and can help.
When I set graphics mode to 259, sometimes I just get a sort of
bar across the top of the screen with the pictures all on top of each
other - and sometimes it is just fine. I have windows95, pentium,
16M, etc. Maybe I have to do more introduction? of my program to
my machine?
Here is the code - looks fine to me.
include graphics.e
include image.e
include get.e
object a
a=graphics_mode(259)
Then I load and display some bmp's, and sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't. Very frustrating as I'm sure you can
imagine.

Hi
You might just try a different graphics mode.
I get a thin green line across the top of the screen in mode 261 that no-one
could figure out. But there was a bit of consensus that not all graphics
cards work with the graphics libraries.
Bye

Try forcing the VESA graphics standard. See Euphoria documentation for the
"use_vesa( )" command. This usually does it for me.

Hi John:
Not all SVGA's can do all modes. Mine, for example, just can't handle 259,
among others. I have to add the line use_vesa(1) to almost all programs
to get the higher modes to work, even with that line some don't. It just
depends on
the graphics card. Keep trying different modes to see which are compatible
with
your card.
