hello group,
was reading through a few tech letters and came across this blurb
"Both eMate 300 and the MessagePad 2000 feature half-VGA sized four-bit
grayscale displays that will show sixteen shades of gray. The Newton OS
has
been extended to support both grayscale and color while still
maintaining full
backward compatibility. All existing calls now support both monochrome
and
color objects, and APIs have been added to access the new gray/color
features.
Color values are specified using an RGB triplet where the values are
either
five or eight bits, for 16 or 24-bit color. Color can be used for
patterns,
drawing and text. The system can display color PICTs and bitmaps that
have
one, two, four or eight bit depth, and there is support for antialiasing
monochrome bitmaps.
Newton Toolkit and Newton Press will be updated to seamlessly support
grayscale and color images as well as the larger screen sizes."
and i was wondering if any of the higher level techies out there could
make any sense out of the ability to use a color lcd with our hip green
friend.
thanks
chad
