A lot of design experience has gone into +it to provide one of the cleanest APIs available for this kind of purpose. + +OpenPTC will provide you with a frame-buffer to draw into. You can choose +that buffer to use a pixel format convenient for you, OpenPTC will convert +it to the video modes on the target platform, using highly optimised +x86 and MMX routines where available. This is achieved using the HERMES +((c)1998/99 Christian Nentwich et al) pixel conversion library. + +OpenPTC 1.0 is available for X11, GGI (Linux), Win32, DOS and JAVA. Work for +other platforms is in progress. All implementations of PTC come with full +source code and may be used free of charge even in commercial projects. |
