  • Patent number: 5113493
    Abstract: Graphics display systems are used to display animated images, generated from a sequence of images (D) developed by an artist, and projected using a conditional replacement technique, in a manner as directed by a series of commands (E), given to the program by the artist. The method works for systems of any resolution and number of colors. To facilitate the process is broken into two steps, development (A) and projection (B). This eliminates all activities from the actual projection effort that do not directly contribute to it, enabling faster operation. In combination with the storage and display techniques, which only note any changes from one image to the next, this allows true animation displays not normally attainable with given equipment.
