Technical Examples

The present invention provides a low cost animation sequence function for OSDs. An animation sequence is produced by changing the attributes associated with a character within the OSD rather than by substituting the character itself. A character may have several different attributes associated with it. These attributes change the colors associated with the pixels within the character producing a different character visually. The attributes are selected and changed according to a predetermined interval to produce the animation sequence. Each attribute is displayed for the predetermined time before moving on to displaying the character using the next attribute to produce the animation sequence. Each color attribute associated with the character in the animation sequence uses up only two words of ROM space, whereas the character itself takes up eight words or more of ROM space. Therefore, there is considerable savings in ROM space as compared to storing a separate character for each animation frame.
