It's working now. At first, I thought the bounds would be (1,240) and (1,320), similar to TI-BASIC, but they really start at 0.

Doesn't BASIC's pixel-On follow those conventions too?

What is the usage of char* scrbuf in the graphics functions?

It's a double-buffer, allocated with malloc() in the calling program. It allows for flicker-free animation.

How do you write code using the buffer?

Like so:
Code: [Select]
char* scrbuf = (char*) malloc(SCREEN_BYTES_SIZE);
line(scrbuf, x1, x2, y1, y2);
refresh(scrbuf);

BUt what value do I use for scrbuf? Also, is there a way to draw a line directly to the screen?

scrbuf isn't a value, it's a pointer. It is defined by the malloc statement. And to draw directly to the screen, you would use (char*)0xA4000100 instead of scrbuf as an argument to the line routine. This buffer might actually be defined somewhere already, but I'm not familiar with the Nspire include files.

There's really no reason to draw directly to the screen. Drawing to a buffer is faster and more versatile.

What Bwang said. Plus you won't get flickering when stuff moves around (and needs to be erased to do so). I don't know how Nspire ASM/C compares to 83+ Axe, but on 83+ Axe, inverting the entire screen bit by bit takes about 20-30 seconds for 6144 pixels if you draw directly to the LCD. When storing to the buffer then only updating the screen once everything is done, it took about half a second.

Well, on Nspire there won't be any speed difference when drawing to the LCD because it is memory-mapped like the TI-85 model and up. There might be some flickering though, if the screen updates while you are drawing your graphics.

Really? I thought that despite the screen being memory-mapped, there could still be a slight difference? I guess it makes sense that there isn't a speed change if it's really tied directly to the buffer, though.

"Some flickering" is an understatement. Without double-buffering, animations flicker so much that they are nearly unusable.

Well, my emulators actually draw directly to the screen buffer.
