  • Parameterized image orientation for computer displays
    Patent number: 5973664
    Abstract: A system and method accommodate several image orientation modes in a single software driver. The driver utilizes the same software instructions for each orientation mode in order to transfer image information to display memory. The driver instructions which transfer the image information to display memory utilize parameters to determine where each successive pixel of information goes in the display memory. These parameters are set at the time an orientation mode is selected, and the use of these parameters by the driver allows the same instructions to be used for each mode.
