Abstract
In accordance with a first mode of operation of the present invention, a portrait image is received from a system device. The portrait image is translated and stored within the graphics engine memory such that it can be displayed on a landscape monitor that has been rotated 90 degrees. Likewise, when portrait data stored within the memory is sent to the system it is translated such that it is sent back in the same format received by the system. In a second mode of operation in accordance with the present invention, a landscape image received by the graphics adapter is stored in the graphics adapter memory without any translation.
