This book teaches SVGAlib programming techniques and how the compiled code translates into graphics creations. The book also covers animation techniques such as rotating images, 2D animation, and effects such as creating fire, landscapes, and skies. Currently, there is no other book available on SVGAlib - the alternative to the large and cumbersome X-Windows. With the increase of interest in Linux, SVGAlib interest is growing, and you will find this book invaluable as it covers everything you need to know about writing code to utilise a mouse of deal with the lack of input devices. The CD-ROM includes all code and graphic images developed, and Linux and SVGAlib toolkits.
