19 /* SYNOPSIS */
20 AROS_LHA(struct AnimOb *, anOb, A0),
21 AROS_LHA(struct RastPort *, rp, A1),
22 AROS_LHA(BOOL , db, D0),
24 /* LOCATION */
25 struct GfxBase *, GfxBase, 28, Graphics)
27 /* FUNCTION
28 Allocate all buffers for a whole AnimOb. In particular this
29 means getting buffers for
30 - BorderLine
31 - SaveBuffer
32 - CollMask
33 - ImageShadow (points to the same memory as CollMask does)
34 - if db is set to TRUE the user wants double-buffering, so we need
35 - DBufPacket
36 - BufBuffer
38 INPUTS
39 anOb = pointer to AnimOb structure to be added to list of
40 AnimObs
41 rp = pointer to a valid RastPort with initialized GelsInfo
42 structure
43 db = TRUE when double-buffering is wanted
45 RESULT
46 TRUE, if all the memory allocations were successful, otherwise
47 FALSE
49 NOTES
50 If an AnimOb is passed to GetGBuffers twice new buffers will
51 be allocated and therefore old pointers to buffers will be
52 lost in space.

61 INTERNALS
62 Are real VSprites possible as a part of an AnimOb?
63 If yes, then different sizes of memory would have to be
64 allocated for BorderLine and CollMask. Currently the
65 sizes of memory allocated for this are most of the time
66 too large as they are just allocated for a Bob. If this
67 code is changed then the code of FreeGBuffers() will
68 have to be changed, too, and this text can be erased :-))
