MIT Scheme supports graphics on Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT. In addition to the usual operations, there are operations to control the size, position and colors of a graphics window. Win32 devices support images, which are implemented as device independent bitmaps (DIBs).
The Win32 graphics device type is implemented as a top level window.
graphics-enable-buffering is implemented and gives a 2x to 4x
speedup on many graphics operations. As a convenience, when buffering
is enabled clicking on the graphics window's title bar effects a
graphics-flush operation. The user has the benefit of the
increased performance and the ability to view the progress in drawing at
the click of a mouse button.
