I notice that unless I run my program on a 3.5GHz machine or faster, the graphics are fairly slow. By slow, I mean noticeably slower than they were on a Pentium 233 DOS machine with Turbo Pascal. The intended computers for these programs are simple inexpensive PCs with motherboard video, no dedicated video cards, I think it should be possible for any modern computer to severely out perform a Pentium 233 with a VGA card in it, so I’m not sure what the issue is. I am just using the graph unit for windows, and I wonder if there is a more efficient method of creating a full screen graphics only application than to use the graph unit? I am only looking for it to work under windows and the main issue I would like to solve is the speed of drawing things on the screen like lines and arcs. It would be nice if I am also able to get away from BGI fonts and use True Type fonts instead. I don’t need 3D rendering or anything so complicated, just to draw lines and arcs and maybe ellipses as well as various text, and flood fill closed shapes with some solid color.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any Suggestions? <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
