Screens
On the Amiga, the way visual information is displayed
can
be different for
different tools. To change the display, tools request different
video
attributes
.
These attributes include:
•
horizontal resolution, the number of pixels that appear on each line
of
the display
•
number of colors displayed in the
screen
•
color
palette
,
the colors that appear in the
screen
•
interlace,
which doubles the number
of
horizontal lines that
appear in
the
screen
Screens are areas of the display with
the
same video attributes. They are
always
as wide
as
the display. Each screen contains one or more windows:
