Hello… I am playing with this graphics function using 1.2,and for some reasons when i execute this routine it takes about 5-15 seconds to execute! where as a RecFill() is executed on the fly..! i know that an ellipse takes lots of time to calculate and draw (1-2 sec) but why does it take so long to fill? and what is funny is that if after a execute it call: AreaMove(0,0) AreaDraw(0,100) AreaDraw(100,100) AreaDraw(100,0) AreaEnd(myrastport) it waits for the ellipse to be finish! and the draws something else on the screen…i have properly initialized all my areas,raster and any necessary temporary areas required for the system to work for all of the areafilling. If you have the answer please tell me. Ed p.s. Is this a BUG that i am not aware,i am using 320×200 5 planes. C 3.03 and DOS 1.2 .
