High Performance Grayscale and Color Graphics

The hpcrx48z driver supports the CRX-48Z graphics accelerator on Series 700 Workstations. Features of the CRX-48Z include:

48 image planes
24 Z-planes
8 overlay planes
5 hardware color maps
Hardware support for generating flat and smooth shaded vectors and polygons used in 3D solids modeling
Hardware support for rendering anti-aliased vectors
72Hz 1280x1024 pixel 19-inch color monitor

The 3D surfaces software, PowerShade (B2156A), is used by the hpcrx48z driver to transform and clip graphics primitives. Powershade is also used to convert complex primitives such as spline surfaces and polygons with many vertices into simple primitives which can be rendered by the CRX-48Z hardware. PowerShade is included in all CRX-48Z product bundles.
