I'm writing a program right now that uses lines of length 2 to 4 pixels long. I'm using 640x480x256 grphics mode and I'm wondering if it's faster to do a vline or 2 inline _putpixel's. I would think that doing the putpixels would be faster, but I'm not sure. At some point they one becomes faster than the other. Does anyone know which is faster for certain length lines? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot! -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
