Screens
On the Amiga, the way visual information is displayed can be different for
different tools.
To
change the display, tools request different video attributes.
These attributes include:
• horizontal resolution, the number
of
pixels that appear on each line
of
the display
• number
of
colors displayed
in
the screen
• color palette, the colors that appear
in
the screen
• interlace, which doubles the number
of
horizontal lines that appear
in
the screen

as wide as the display. Each screen contains one or more windows:

as introduced
in
the last chapter.
