摘要:Method and system for writing text characters to a raster scan video display(50, 51) operated in an all-points- addressable, or graphics mode, and for readingcharacters thus written. A graphic video display buffer (34) directly refreshes the display(50) with graphics data received from a microprogrammed processor (20). The processor(20) writes a character to the display (50) by selecting and loading into the graphics videodisplay buffer (34) a text character dot pattern retrieved from main storage (25, 27), andexpanded to a selected pixel and color format, and reads a character previously writtenby comparing a dot pattern retrieved from the display buffer (34) with dot patternretrieved from main storage (25, 27).
