text/6/2 The way the display card handles graphics is to assign each dot location two numbers, one for its horizontal position and one for its vertical position. To put a dot in the upper left corner of this screen, the card would tell the monitor to put a dot at 0,0. And the lower right of this screen is 639,199. The middle is 320,100. ~ rectangle/403/58/412/68 KC/403/58/412/68/413/68 KC/403/58/422/78/423/78 KC/403/58/442/98/442/98 changepattern1 flood/406/63 flood/417/73 flood/436/94 flood/448/103 flood/454/113 flood/466/123 flood/476/135 flood/428/83 text/368/160 A line drawn from 56,127 to 64,135. ~ line 348/58/610/58 348/68/610/68 442/48/609/48 348/38/608/38 348/28/608/28 348/78/610/78 348/88/609/88 348/98/608/98 348/108/609/108 348/118/610/118 348/128/608/128 348/138/609/138 line 348/148/456/148 520/148/610/148 348/158/358/158 348/158/612/158 line 349/48/374/48 353/29/353/157 363/29/363/157 373/29/373/157 383/29/383/157 393/29/393/157 403/29/403/157 413/29/413/157 423/29/423/157 433/29/433/157 443/29/443/157 453/29/453/157 463/29/463/157 473/29/473/157 483/29/483/157 493/29/493/157 503/29/503/157 513/29/513/157 523/29/523/157 533/29/533/157 543/29/543/157 553/29/553/157 563/29/563/157 573/29/573/157 583/29/583/157 593/29/593/157 603/29/603/157 KB/375/43/442/51 KY KB/455/141/522/150 KY text/374/44 (56,127) ~ text/453/142 (64,135) ~ text/6/93 To draw a line, the card would tell the monitor to put dots at a series of locations. There are some more RAM chips on the display card to remember which places dots are to be located. The text character patterns of dots are stored in ROM chips on the display card. ~
