Does anyone know if it is possible to include ANSI graphics (into my ADA
programs) on a DEC VAX? I am able to get screen movement using the escape
characters, but would also like to use the Graphics. (P.S. THIS IS NOT A
HOMEWORK PROBLEM!)

If you are using VMS, check out the SMG$ library. It should have all the
functionality you need in a display independent format. If you are using
DEC Ada, there should be a SMG package in your distribution.
T.E.D.
p.s. It is a good idea when asking such questions to state your:
- Platform (You got this one covered)
- Operating System
- Compiler Vendor/ Compiler Name

I'd spend some time looking at the SMG system calls available on
DEC VAX/VMS. Some constants are defined in the "STARLET" package.
The rest should be found in the package "SMG". Both of these are
provided by the ACS compilation system and are the usual means by
which you can manipulate ANSI terminals. I'm not sure how much
ANSI graphics support they provide - maybe someone else can fill
you in???
Pax,
