Software-driven Graphics Modes For The Atari 8-bit Computers
This article describes software driven graphics modes for the Atari 8-bit computers. That is, graphics displays reliant on CPU intervention and additional software that enhance the inherent capabilities of the Atari 8-bit computers' ANTIC and CTIA/GTIA graphics chips. These modes use combinations of mixed display lists, scrolling, page flipping, and display list interrupts to achieve displays with alternate resolution and increased color that are not possible using the hardware alone.

Famous quotes containing the word modes:
“Without any extraordinary effort of genius, I have discovered that nature was the same three thousand years ago as at present; that men were but men then as well as now; that modes and customs vary often, but that human nature is always the same. And I can no more suppose, that men were better, braver, or wiser, fifteen hundred or three thousand years ago, than I can suppose that the animals or vegetables were better than they are now.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
