More precisely: generateScanline(1) write scanline1 of channel1 write scanline1 of channel2 write scanline1 of channel3 write scanline1 of channel4 free() mem
generateScanline(2) write scanline2 of channel1 write scanline2 of channel2 write scanline2 of channel3 write scanline2 of channel4 free() mem .. and so forth. The writePixels( int height ) function will write a given number of scanlines, but not a specific scanline? - K.
