[Oberon] FPGA - Pictures.Mod composition

[Skulski, Wojciech]

In addition to data fields, there are also methods like Store and Read. These are polymorphic if the internal format can vary.

Do not we need Oberon-2 for handling this in an elegant way? What do you think?

Thanks,
Wojtek

indeed, we could. With your propsal Pictures are supersets of Bitmaps and hence type compatible (meaning PROCEDUREs accepting Bitmaps could accept Pictures as well, not the otherway around)
With the existing separate type definitions, types are not compatible.
