Graphic Toolkit is a range of various functions and procedures to help you to write programs which access the Sinclair QL's graphics.


As well as including some standard functions (such as QDOS$ and ALCHP), the toolkit includes commands for copy protecting microdrive cartridges, moving a pointer on screen, painting a section of the screen with a specific colour, copying part of the screen to / from memory and zoom (magnifying part of the screen by 16 times).


It has an unusual example program (Transfer_x) which allows you to load two screens into memory and then copy sections of one screen to another using a freehand brush (there are 8 brushes and two airbrushes included in the program).


A useful set of routines, unfortunately, it lacks any information about whether it can be used as part of a commercial program.
