NAME

       grafx2 - Ultimate 256-color bitmap paint program

SYNOPSIS

       grafx2 [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the grafx2 command.

       grafx2  is  a  bitmap paint program that allows you to draw in more than 60 video resolutions, including most of the standard Amiga resolu-
       tions : 320x200, 320x256, 320x512, 640x256, 640x512, etc... provided your videocard knows how to handle them.

       This program is dedicated to everybody who knows what a single pixel is. Its layout is not very different from the famous Deluxe  Paint	or
       Brilliance,  so	it  will  be quite easy to handle it if you know at least one of these programs.  If you aren't used to the art of drawing
       with up to 256 colors, it will be a little more difficult for you, but you should give it a try (or more, because most of the power of this
       program won't show up on the first try).

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.	They can be prefixed by either / - or --

       -?, -h, -help
	      Show summary of options.

       -wide  To emulate a video mode with wide pixels (2 x 1).

       -tall  To emulate a video mode with tall pixels (1 x 2).

       -double
	      To emulate a video mode with double pixels (2 x 2).

       -wide2 To emulate a video mode with double wide pixels (4 x 2).

       -tall2 To emulate a video mode with double tall pixels (2 x 4).

       -triple
	      To emulate a video mode with triple pixels (3 x 3).

       -quadruple
	      To emulate a video mode with quadruple pixels (4 x 4).

       -rgb <n>
	      To reduce RGB precision from 256 to n levels.

       -skin <filename>
	      Use an alternate file for the menu graphics.

       -mode <videomode>
	      To set a video mode listed with the -help parameter.

FILES

       User  settings are stored in ~/.grafx2/gfx2.ini. This file is really meant to be edited by the user and allows to tweak many aspects of the
       program.

ENVIRONMENT

       Since grafx2 uses the SDL library for graphics and user input you can use control some of that parts using the  SDL  environment  variables
       described at http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/Environment_variables

NAME

       draw_sprite - Draws a copy of the sprite onto the destination bitmap. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void draw_sprite(BITMAP *bmp, BITMAP *sprite, int x, int y);

DESCRIPTION

       Draws a copy of the sprite bitmap onto the destination bitmap at the specified position. This is almost the same as blit(sprite, bmp, 0, 0,
       x, y, sprite->w, sprite->h), but it uses a masked drawing mode where transparent pixels are skipped, so	the  background  image	will  show
       through the masked parts of the sprite. Transparent pixels are marked by a zero in 256-color modes or bright pink for truecolor data (maxi-
       mum red and blue, zero green). Example:

	  BITMAP *spaceship;
	  ...
	  draw_sprite(screen, spaceship, x, y);

       If the GFX_HW_VRAM_BLIT_MASKED bit in the gfx_capabilities flag is set, the current driver supports  hardware  accelerated  sprite  drawing
       when  the  source  image is a video memory bitmap or a sub-bitmap of the screen. This is extremely fast, so when this flag is set it may be
       worth storing some of your more frequently used sprites in an offscreen portion of the video memory.

       Warning: if the hardware acceleration flag is not set, draw_sprite() will not work correctly when used with a sprite  image  in	system	or
       video memory so the latter must be a memory bitmap.

       Although  generally  not  supporting  graphics  of mixed color depths, as a special case this function can be used to draw 256-color source
       images onto truecolor destination bitmaps, so you can use palette effects on specific sprites within a truecolor program.
