printftest(6)		       Svgalib User Manual		   printftest(6)

NAME
     printftest - tests the vgagl gl_printf function

SYNOPSIS
     printftest x y

DESCRIPTION
     This  test  utility  reads  keys from the keyboard and displays them on the
     screen at pixel position (x, y) using gl_printf(3).  It must be linked with
     the ELF svgalib libraries.

     You can set a videomode to use by	setting  the  environment  variable  SV-
     GALIB_DEFAULT_MODE  to  a	number (see vgatest for a list) or a string like
     G0x1x2 where you replace 0 with desired x resolution, 1 with the desired  y
     rez,  and	2  with the desired number of colors (2, 16, 256, 32K, 64K, 16M,
     16M4). Again, only certain choices are available, see vgatest for a list.

     In case nothing is selected, G320x200x256 is choosen.

     This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the demos/ subdirectory of
     the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed in the sys-
     tem by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it  if  your  svgalib
     was installed by some linux distribution. Even then, when you have the demo
     on your system, you probably won't have the sources s.t. it is only of lim-
     ited use for you.

     In  case  of  any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the
     net. You even don't need to install it. Just make in the demos/ subdirecty.
     As of this writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest version and can  be
     retrieved	by  ftp  from  sunsite.unc.edu	at  /pub/Linux/libs/graphics and
     tsx-11.mit.edu at /pub/linux/sources/libs which will most probably be  mir-
     rored by a site close to you.

     documentation is unknown.

     It  is  very  likely  that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm
     Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

     Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the orig-
     inal author and will happily accept any additions or  corrections	to  this
     first version of the svgalib manual.
