    摘要: The graphics data processor of the present invention offers as a single instruction in its instruction set a draw and advance operation. A first data register stores a set of X and Y coordinates. In a first embodiment, a predetermined color code is stored at the pixel address of a bit mapped display memory indicated by the X and Y coordinates the first data register upon execution of the the draw and advance instruction. The X and Y coordinates stored in the first data register are then advanced by addition of X and Y coordinates stored in a second data register. A second embodiment is similar except that the color code stored at the X and Y coordinates of the first date register is recalled for combining with the predetermined color code and the combined result stored at that pixel location. The predetermined color code is preferrably stored in another data register. By proper selection of the X and Y coordinate data stored in the second data register either the X or the Y coordinate may be altered alone or both may by simultaneously changed. Provision of signed X and Y coordinate values in the second register enables either the X or Y coordinate to be incremented of decremented. This instruction serves to inhance the speed at which a line or computed curve may by drawn in the bit mapped display.

    摘要: A microprocessor, specially adapted for graphics processing applications, and which has a self-emulation capability by which the contents of its internal registers may be dumped or loaded to or from external memory on an instruction-by-instruction basis, is disclosed. The microprocessor has circuitry which is responsive to an emulate enable signal, or to a predetermined instruction code, so that normal execution is halted at the end of the ion, with execution jumping to a predetermined vector. Responsive to a dump signal, the microprocessor begins execution of a routine which presents a predetermined series of memory addresses on a memory bus, in conjunction with the contents of registers internal to the microprocessor. Accordingly, the addressed locations of a memory device connected to the memory bus can be written with the register contents, for subsequent interrogation by the user. Similarly, responsive instead to a load command, a routine is executed which presents the series of addresses to the memory bus and loads the internal registers with the data values presented on the memory bus. The load feature is similarly utilized by the user's loading of the addressed memory locations with the desired contents of the internal registers. A system containing a microprocessor constructed according to the invention may be configured so that the emulate enable signal is generated by the control signals generated by the microprocessor upon each instruction fetch from the external memory.

    摘要: The graphics processing apparatus of the present invention utilizes individual registers of a register file to store the X and Y coordinates of pixels. These X and Y coordinates though formed into a single data word are separable by, for example, having the most significant bits specifying the Y coordinate and the least significant bits specifying the Y coordinate. The graphics processing apparatus supports instructions which provide separate and independent data manipulation of these X and Y coordinates. These X Y coordinate manipulation instructions can provide for separate X Y arithmetic operations on two data words, separate X and Y compare operations, separate X and Y data move operations and a conversion between the X Y address form to the linear address form. This technique is highly useful for manipulation of X Y address coordinates in a visual display system employing bit mapped graphics.
