== Definition ==
Dump modes are used to define the type of dump, needed to be applied to the screen, by assigning them to the [[global variable]] [[dump_type]]. This influences how the screen is dumped after each frame. Dumping means sending frames to the video RAM, i.e. the displaying of frames on the monitor.
