      MSGID: 1:154/50@fidonet 5e7e7d7e       PID: C-NET PRO 5.21C       SE BRUSH (BLIT) ESC [ 7 ; a ; b ; c ; d ; e ; f ; g ; h !               A = upper-left X coord. of the source bitmap        B = upper-left Y coord. of the source bitmap               The above two will usually be 0. HOWEVER, you can use these to blit        parts of a brush to the screen.               C = upper-left X coord. of the destination (the screen X coord.)        D = upper-left Y coord. of the destination (the screen Y coord.)        E = horizontal (X) size of brush        F = vertical (Y) size of brush        G = MINTERM to be supplied to the blitter (commonly 192)        H = MASK to be supplied to the blitter (commonly 255)               The above commands blit what is in the brush buffer (following a        CRC Transfer or a GRAB BRUSH command) - if no brush is found, the        command aborts.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               Command #8              8 - MOVE PEN ESC [ 8 ; x ; y !               (Move the drawing pen to X,Y - NOT the cursor)               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               Command #9              9 - PLAY SAMPLE ESC [ 9 ; a ; b ; c ; d !               (Plays a simple sample. A is the "speed" of the sample, B is the        starting point in bytes, C is the ending point in bytes, and D is the        number of loops to perform)               NOTE: Parameters A-C are not yet implemented.               SPINY'S NOTE: As of C-Net version 2.63, SkySound is not yet        implemented. Hopefully it will be added by the developers in the        future.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               0              10- SET FONT ESC [ 10 ; y ! fontname.font !               (Y is the size of the font, and fontname is the name of the font - the        font must be in the fonts: directory of both the BBS and the Remote        user for this command to work!)               SPINY'S NOTE: It's wise to stick to just the basic 7 Workbench fonts,        since you know everyone will have them available on their system disk.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               1              11- NEW PALETTE ESC [ 11 ; c1 ; c2 ; c3 ; ... ; c15 ; c16 !               Sets the palette to the sixteen colours C1-C16 [you must enter all 16        colours even if you are just in 8-colour mode!] The parameters C1-C16        are decimal numbers arrived at in the following way:               Take a grey, for instance, whose R-G-B value is 12-12-12. Then convert        that to C-C-C (since 12 is hex $0C). Now take the hex number CCC and        convert back into Decimal, which gives you 3276.               NOTE: Unless you are a massochist, I'd suggest using SKYPAINT since it        does all of the above automatically. Even if you just need to set the        palette, load up SKYPAINT and begin recording, go to the palette screen        and set it to what you want, then end recording. You can then look at        the tiny file you created and tell what ESC [ 11 command is needed in        your final project.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               2              12- RESET PALETTE ESC [ 12 !               Resets to the SkyPix standard palette, which is               R G B | R G B | R G B | R G B        ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------        0 = 00 00 00 | 4 = 00 15 01 | 8 = 00 11 06 | 12 = 00 00 15        1 = 01 01 15 | 5 = 03 10 15 | 9 = 00 13 13 | 13 = 07 00 15        2 = 13 13 13 | 6 = 15 15 02 | 10 = 00 10 15 | 14 = 12 00 14        3 = 15 00 00 | 7 = 12 00 14 | 11 = 00 07 12 | 15 = 12 00 08               This would have the same effect as entering:        ESC [ 11 ; 0 ; 287 ; 3549 ; 3840 ; 241 ; 943 ; 4082 ; 3086 ; 182 ;        221 ; 175 ; 124 ; 15 ; 1807 ; 3086 ; 3080 !               [See also Command #15 for info on the default palette]               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               3              13- FILLED ELLIPSE ESC [ 13 ; x ; y ; a ; b !               (Same as standard Ellipse [Command #5], except this one is filled-in)               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               4              14- DELAY (PAUSE) ESC [ 14 ; a !               (A is a value in jiffies [60ths of a second])               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               5              15- SET COLOUR OF PEN A ESC [ 15 ; a !               Sets Pen A to colour a, where a is one of the following (assumes        default palette)               0 = black 4 = bright green 8 = dark green 12 = dark blue 2        1 = dark blue 1 5 = med. blue 1 9 = cyan 13 = indigo        2 = white 6 = yellow 10 = med. blue 2 14 = violet 2        3 = bright red 7 = violet 1 11 = grey-blue 15 = magenta               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               6              16- CRC XMODEM TRANSFER ESC [ 16 ; m ; a ; b ! filename !               Files will be sent to whichever directory BRU: is assigned.               M (MODE) 1 = IFF Brush        2 = IFF Sound Sample        3 = FutureSound Sample        20 = General Purpose (saves to default dir.)               A & B are the X and Y size of the IFF brush, if that is what is being        transmitted.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               7              17- SELECT DISPLAY MODE ESC [ 17 ; m !               M is 1 for a 3-bitplane display (first 8 colours) or 2 for a 4-bitplane        display (all 16 colours allowed). Note that if M is 1, then the second        8 colours (see Command #15) are disabled.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               8              18- SET B PEN ESC [ 18 ; b !               (Sets background pen to colour B [see Command #15] - this is useful        for allowing ANSI commands to access more colours)               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               9              19- POSITION CURSOR ESC [ 19 ; x ; y !               (Moves text cursor to X,Y. Does NOT affect the position of the        drawing pen)               NOTE: This is not the same as ESC [ [n] ; [m] H. In this case x and y        refer to pixels on the screen and not to rows and columns of text.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               Command #21              21- CONTROLLER RETURN ESC [ 21 ; c ; x ; y !               (This is SENT from the terminal every time a controller is activated -        c=1 for left button mouse click at coord. x,y ;        c=2 for menu selection [x is the menu item #, y is ignored])               SPINY'S NOTE: Due to a bug in JR-COMM 1.02 (which was fixed in 1.02a),        the ESC code is not sent with this command. This should be taken into        consideration when adding mouse control to your own applications.               Next Command 'SkyPix Commands' Menu Table of Contents               Command #22              22- DEFINE A SKYPIX GADGET ESC [ 22 ; n ; c ; x1 ; y1 ; x2 ; y2 !               (N is the gadget # (1-20), C is the command # associated with it; X1,Y1        defines the top left corner and X2,Y2 the lower right. The gadget        appears in the colour of Pen A [see Command #15])               ####        ## ##        ### =============================================================        #### P E C I A L N O T E S 03/10/2020        ### ===============================================================        ## ##        ####               Today there is only one Terminal Program that supports Skypix       Graphics.
