Apparatus and methods for selectively controlling by window the number of overlay planes, the number of overlay palettes, and the overlay/underlay plane masks in a graphics video display system. A logic/multiplex control translates overlay and underlay data patterns from a multiple plane VRAM, referenced to the graphics system frame buffer, into window specific patterns. The window related translation is conveyed to conventional RAMDACs for raster scan synchronized digital-to-analog conversion. The translation as provided by the controller is responsive to data selectively and dynamically written into a random access memory, thus providing translation of overlay/underlay data into window distinct and selective overlay/underlay palette functions.
