A graphics animation software package, based upon the Commodore Amiga V1.3
Graphic Element (GEL) System, has been created on the Texas Instruments
TMS34020 graphics processor. The graphics is based around a set of complex
data structures for the C programming language. The graphics display revolves
around the Bob (Blitter Object), AnimComp (Animation Component), and the
AnimOb (Animation Object) data structures. These data structures and others
dictate the form and function of the video display computer code. The system
supports single and double buffered video displays with the option to retain
the background video data.
