Raster Bar

The raster bar (also referred to as rasterbar or copperbar) is an effect used in demos that displays animated bars of colour, usually horizontal, which additionally might extend into the border, a.k.a. the otherwise unalterable area (assuming no overscan) of the display. Raster bars, especially horizontal, were very common in demos for the Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC.

Famous quotes containing the word bar:

    ‘Yes; quaint and curious war is!
    You shoot a fellow down
    You’d treat if met where any bar is,
    Or help to half-a-crown.’
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
