XEROX DORADOCOLOR 2 4 1 DORADOCOLOR 1 4 By: >>Your Name<< (>>Your net address<<) INTERNAL Uses: COLOR This document last edited on 13-Feb-86. INTRODUCTION This package is the Xerox Lisp software driver for the Dorado (Xerox 1132) color display. NECESSARY HARDWARE You need a Xerox 1132 with color card and a third party color display. Please contact your Xerox representative for details concerning acquiring and setting up all the required hardware. Assuming you have all the hardware you need, turn it all on. This means (1) Your 1132 is running Xerox LISP. (2) Your 1132 has an 1132 color card installed. (3) Your color display is plugged in and powered on. (4) Three cables for red, green, and blue signal connect the 1132 color card to the color display. Any reconnections should be made while your 1132 is off. Until you issue some software commands, a black color display is normal. DORADOCOLOR SOFTWARE The DORADOCOLOR package provides the machine dependent portion of software that is needed to drive your color display assuming you are using an 1132 with 1132 color card. Other than LOADing the DORADOCOLOR package and turning the DORADOCOLOR package on using the function COLORDISPLAY, all additional functionality is provided by and documented with the COLOR package. There are no DORADOCOLOR functions that the user needs to call directly. The user calls functions described in the COLOR documentation. A single exception to these comments is a global variable \DORADOCOLOR.LEFTMARGIN which controls the period of time the display controller should wait before turning on the color guns. \DORADOCOLOR.LEFTMARGIN is normally set to 56; if this value causes odd results with your monitor, try setting \DORADOCOLOR.LEFTMARGIN a little higher or lower and reinitializing the display. (You can reinitialize the display by calling COLORDISPLAY twice in succession). Once your hardware is on, you can proceed to issue COLOR commands to your hardware. You should have the DORADOCOLOR package already LOADed from your LIBRARY directory. That is, you've already done something like (LOAD 'DORADOCOLOR.DCOM). At this point it may be convenient to follow this documentation along with the documentation for COLOR in the Lisp Library Packages Manual. If you now type (COLORDISPLAY 'ON 'DORADOCOLOR) your display will now change from total black to a color test pattern with horizontal and vertical stripes. The sequence of events is that there should be a noticable flicker on your color display, followed by a white wall covering the color display, followed by the painting of this white wall with horizontal and vertical strpes of color woven together. There are now some simple tests you can do to satisfy yourself that your hardware is working. Here is a small list of things to try: (SETQ CSBM (COLORSCREENBITMAP)) (BLTSHADE 'WHITE CSBM) (BLTSHADE 'RED CSBM) (BLTSHADE 'GREEN CSBM) (BLTSHADE 'BLUE CSBM) (SETQ DS (DSPCREATE CSBM)) (DRAWLINE 0 0 500 500 10 'REPLACE DS 'YELLOW) (DRAWLINE 500 0 0 500 10 'REPLACE DS 'CYAN) Assuming all has gone well to this point, you should now be able to try all the functions described in the COLOR package documentation. The COLORDEMO package is a good source of test programs to try ÿÿï% ÿ(IL:LOAD 'COLORDEMO.LCOM) to get this package. Both COLOR and COLORDEMO documentation are in your LispUsers' Manual. .$$È È(È (È(ŠŠ8(ŠŠ8DÈÈ PAGEHEADING RUNNINGHEADMODERN MODERN MODERNLOGOMODERNMODERN MODERN   HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN   HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN *  ( YÂI%05c‚ɘ í .,Èx ARzº
