Inhaltsangabe

High Performance Windows Graphics Programming provides detailed coverage of DirectDraw, allowing you to write virtually any type of Windows application. This book isn?t for beginners - it?s for developers that want more than they?re getting out of DirectDraw.
DirectDraw offers the fastest possible access to display hardware under Windows, making it the obvious choice for high-performance graphics. And now that DirectX is supported by Windows NT as well as Windows 95, there is an even greater demand for graphical Windows applications.
The Bumper demo uses pixel-accurate hit-detection
The Switch demo allows all detected display modes to be activated
High Performance Windows Graphics Programming shows you how to:
- Take advantage of all display modes on any DirectDraw supported display hardware - regardless of resolution, bit depth, or pixel format
- Maximize surface formats, hit-detection, multithreading, video playback, high- and true-color display modes, and surface clipping
- Create windowed and full-screen DirectDraw applications using a DirectDraw AppWizard
- Couple DirectDraw with DirectInput for maximum performance
The companion CD-ROM is packed with these powerful tools:
- Ready-to-compile project workspaces for all the code presented in this book
- BmpView: a DirectDraw BMP viewer that supports all available display modes and scrolling for large images
- AviPlay: a DirectDraw AVI player
- Switch: a demo that allows any detected display mode to be activated and tested
- A Custom DirectDraw AppWizard that you can use from inside Visual C++ 5.0
- The DirectX 5.0 runtime installation (does not include the DirectX SDK)
