Post Graphics 1 Chapter has been released
Hello everyone,

Graphics 1, the first of several chapters covering graphics programming and topics have been released. This is the first chapter of a spinoff miniseries based off of the OS Development Series. This chapter covers general graphics concepts, some hardware concepts, VGA BIOS interface, and more.

Any feedback is welcome :D

Thats a fair amount of detail.

I would argue that description of CRT is misleading. There arnt 3 "different coloured beams of electrons". There are 3 beams specifically designed to hit different colours of phosphours on the screen. Then again, I might just be being picky.

in the CDA section, you say
Quote:
The CGA only supported a Color Palette of 16 colors, because it was limited to 4 bytes per pixel.

Should this be 4 bits per pixel? 4 bytes per pixel is 4 billion colours.

Other than that, it looks good :)

Hello,

Those are good catches - Ill be sure to fix the second error (Should be 4 bits per pixel) and update the CRT section.

I can expand a lot more on the chapter, however I am worried of the chapter getting too big. I can see about expanding a little more. Any more suggestions are always welcome :D
