Use
Creates a new overlay associated with the indicated Wimp task. If the task exits, the overlay will be automatically destroyed. For the overlay to become visible, it must be attached to a window via VideoOveray_SetWindow?VideoOverlay_SetWindow.
Notes
See GraphicsV 20 for more details on overlay creation.
If a Mode change occurs, all Overlays will be destroyed by the GraphicsV driver. An application should watch for this occurring, reissue this call to recreate the overlay and call any additional VideoOverlay SWI’s to transform/display the overlay if required.
Mode Selector Block
The Mode Selector Block must include some additional Mode Variable Numbers. Refer to Extended Framebuffer Format Specification for ModeFlags and NColour values:
| Value | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | ModeFlags | Data format and colour space information |
| 3 | NColour | Maximum logical colour |
| 13 | MinScreenBanks | Optional. If omitted, 1 overlay bank is assumed |
