[Coco] OS9 / Nitros9 - Getting direct access to graphics memory.

[Walter Zambotti]

Bill

I'm reading through the Nitros9 Windowing system guide but did see anything specific to do this.

I'll have a look through the Nitros9 Tech Manual.

F$MapBlk will map the blocks into user memory space.

Just need to work out what memory blocks the graphics memory for the current process are?

Walter, yes, you can map the graphics memory into the workspace. It's a little tedious, but doable. You can map it in with 8k blocks (using less memory) or the complete graphics memory.
I do this very thing in MShell to do direct drawing for speed.
PM me and I'll give you the steps to do it.

Is there an OS9 call to map the graphics memory into the process space?
