GRAPHITO is the most powerful and extensive graphics programming system available for the BBC Micro and Electron. GRAPHITO consists of a library of nearly 40 motifs and six complete alphabets, together with almost 50 procedures for manipulating them by stretching, squeezing, slicing, shrinking, rotating, decorating, networking, colouring, texturing and windowing to produce a limitless variety of images. GRAPHITO includes recursive and fractal pattern generators, and allows three dimensional scene generation with unlimited viewpoints and back surface elimination. GRAPHITO can be used in both executive and interactive modes. GRAPHITO produces professional results, without the naive and primitive results found in most microcomputer images, but with its user friendly programs and comprehensive documentation is accessible to all BBC Micro/Electron users. GRAPHITO will help you devise and design advertising material, simple CAD facilities, educational software - anything where a picture is worth a thousand words.
This manual and software package investigates the capabilities of the Graphito graphics programming system for the BBC Micro and Electron computers. The author, Hallam, provides a comprehensive framework for users to transition from basic microcomputer imaging to professional-grade visual design. By detailing a library of motifs, alphabets, and manipulation procedures, the text establishes a methodology for creating complex, high-quality graphics on legacy hardware.
What You Will Find
Users and enthusiasts of the BBC Micro platform recognize this as a foundational tool for advanced graphics programming. The documentation is frequently cited for its ability to bridge the gap between amateur microcomputer output and professional design standards.
