BackBuffer
BackBuffer is a basic 2D display technology, which provides an abstracted interface to a linear frame buffer in 8, 16, 24, or 32-bits, with seamless full-screen and windowed mode switching.
The source code archive contains four main components:
- BackBuffer - the total 2D windowed/full screen interface.
- CreateDib - handly class for displaying graphics in windows.
- GLBuffer - work in progress OpenGL window handling class.
- Sample Apps - simple app skeletons for BackBuffer and GLBuffer. Copyright 1998-1999 by Seumas McNally.
