     NAME

          writepixels - paints a row of pixels on the screen


     SPECIFICATION

          C         writepixels(n, colors)

                    short n;

                    Colorindex colors[];




          FORTRAN   subroutine writep(n, colors)

                    integer*4 n

                    integer*2 colors(n)


     DESCRIPTION

          writepixels paints a row of pixels on the screen in color

          map mode; n specifies the number of pixels to paint and

          color is an array of color indices.  The starting location

          is the current character position.  The system updates the

          current character position to the pixel that follows the

          last painted pixel.  The current character position becomes

          undefined if the updated pixel position is greater than

          XMAXSCREEN.


          The system paints pixels from left to right, and clips to

          the current screenmask.


          writepixels does not automatically wrap from one line to the

          next.  It can be used in single and double buffer modes.


          Use writeRGB in RGB mode.
