NAME

|
|
ML_vram_address, ML_clear_vram, ML_clear_screen, ML_display_vram - Video RAM and Display Driver management functions from libmonochrome

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[source,c]

|
|
#include <monochrome.h>

|
|
|
char* ML_vram_address();

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
libmonochrome uses natively a double-buffering technique : the user program
|
|
draws on a working space, the VRAM, and when he finished drawing the frame,
|
|
this frame is sent to the Display Driver so it can appear on the screen.
|
|
|
|
ML_vram_adress is a system call that returns the address of the VRAM allocated
|
|
by the system. It is mainly meant for internal purposes, but if you want to use
|
|
the VRAM directly, you can use it.
|
|
|
|
ML_clear_screen sends a bunch of zeros to the Display Driver so the screen
|
|
content gets erased, but the VRAM stays as it is. ML_clear_vram does the
|
|
opposite : it clears the VRAM content while leaving the screen's one.
|
|
|
|
ML_display_vram sends the VRAM content to the Display Driver, so it can appear
|
|
on the screen.
