Excuse my ignorance, but I have very thick skin. Is there a method of printing Turbo Pascal graphics output to a printer. Several of our senior computer science majors are using Turbo Pascal graphics in their senior projects. They have to make presentations before the faculty. Is there some sort of way of dumping the graphics (from VGA or EGA) to a laser printer (HP-type)? I don't have much expertise in Turbo graphics, but it would seem that there should be a method of dumping the graph. Thanks. -- George C.

Please check my last few messages. Hardcopy BGI's seem to be a hot topic today. Anyways I'm putting out a shareware package of BGI's for Laserjet, matrix printers and HPGL plotters. All you have to do to use them is call InstallUserDriver and InitGraph with the driver name and allgraphics output goes to the printer or plotter. The package is in test right now but should be released in a couple more weeks. I will post a message with pricing and my mailing address at that time. I plan to release a free version (just $5.00 to cover the disk and mailing) and a developer's version ($25) which will include full source code and a configuration editor. Please watch for a message. -- Bruce Mcara - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: ...!herald!weyr!72!Bruce.Mcara Domain: Bruce.Mcara@f72.n140.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...

Is there a method of printing Turbo Pascal graphics output to a printer. Yes there is, but it can be expensive. One solution is to use a program like Pizazze (sp). But this essentially does a screen dump. If you want to get fancier, there is a commercial printer driver library for about $150 from Fleming Software (703) 591-6451. The Fleming product is called Graf/Drive Plus. Essentially, when you want to print, you re-direct your graphics statement (like arc, bar bar3d, line, etc) to their driver. They support LaserJet, Epson, Postscript, PaintJet, and HPGL. They also support the fonts on these printers as well as the stroked fonts supplied by the BGI drivers. I haven't tried this particular package. But they apparently were discussed in the Oct Dr Dobbs (if my memory is correct). I'm looking for something that will support graphics and text so I'm keeping my eye out. -- A new world record in the javalin throw / / / I ------------------------------------------------- David Sampson Harris Corporation dsampson@x102a.ess.harris.com Gov't Aerospace Systems Divison uunet!x102a!dsampson Melbourne, Florida -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
