New Windcrest Book Helps Programmers Take Advantage of Bitmapped Graphics

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--Supercharged Bitmapped Graphics provides programmers
with all the tools they need to tap into the power of bitmapped graphics.
This outstanding reference shows readers how to create applications for
importing and exporting graphic files compatible with Ventura Publisher,
Microsoft Windows, WordPerfect, PC Paintbrush, Pagemaker and many other
popular packages.

Readers will find hundreds of pages of ready-to-use source code for working
with a variety of graphics file formats, including CompuServe's latest GIF
format, IFF/LBM, WordPerfect Graphic, Microsoft Windows BMP and MSP,
Truevision Targa, and color TIFF and 24-bit PCX files. Supercharged
Bitmapped Graphics also includes a selection of VGA and super VGA screen
drivers, as well as code for creating LaserJet halftones and driving color
PostScript devices. In addition, the book contains detailed instructions

in Supercharged Bitmapped Graphics have been written to compile with the
Borland Turbo C, Turbo C++, and Borland C++ languages. The assembly
language driver code can be handled with Microsoft's MASM or Borland's
TASM assemblers.
