A graphic (graph or map) is a bitmap with certain properties, like width, height, depth and of course the pixel data. It is used to give the program a graphical look. One can load graphics from files with for example [[load_png]]() or use [[Image.DLL]]. They can also be obtained from within [[FPG]]'s or [[FGC]]'s files, which are graphic collection files. To create one on the fly, the function [[new_map]]() can be used. [[:Category:maps|Here]]'s a list of functions related to graphics and maps.

== Displaying a Graphic
To display a graphic on the screen, there are two main ways of doing this:
* Using drawing operations listed [[:Category:maps|here]].
* Using processes and assigning graphics to their graph variable.
Combinations can also be used naturally.

=== Drawing Operations ===
Graphics can be drawn onto each other, by the use of various [[:Category:maps|map functions]]. The functions use [[blit]]ting as the method for drawing, which is a reasonably fast way, as Fenix makes use of MMX capabilities. A function like [[put]]() will draw a picture on the background, displaying it one the screen (if [[restore_mode]] is not [[NO_RESTORE]]).

=== Process Graphs ===
Graphics can be assigned to processes, which also have coordinate and transformation data. This is done by the use of the [[local variables]] [[graph]], which holds the [[GraphID]] of a graph. The graphic is displayed, according to a few local variables influencing the graphic, like [[x]], [[y]], [[z]], [[angle]], etc.
