Writing pixels to screen FAST?

hi again! is there a way to write pixels to the screen without using a pixmap. pixmaps are slow for that matter. also plot is too slow for this either. this should not be done via openGL. at best, it should be software rendered thanks :) (i promise, i will not post so many topics soon anymore) |

draw pixels on pixmap, unlock pixmap (= TImage), draw TImage? |
| ||
k, will do that thx! |

Have a look at this method. Although it uses pixmaps the method used to set the pixels is really fast (The demo only seems to work in non-debug mode for me though) There is also a faster version of drawing a pixmap to the screen too (OpenGL): |

How is that drawpixmap faster? Are you saying that switching off blending and texturing makes it faster? And what is the glBitmap doing to help matters? DC - you may want to also try a vertex buffer of points. |

thanks for the example, i'll stick to the first one :) |
