[comp.lang.modula2] Saving a CGA plot in JPI M2

parker@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Jeff Parker) (06/07/90)

Hi, I am posting this question for a friend.  She is doing her Master's
Thesis in Applied Mathematics.  After convincing her to do it in JPI M2,
she tells me she wants to save a plot that she has on her screen (in CGA).

So, to make a short story even longer, does anyone have any code or ideas
to allow her to either 
	1. directly print the plot
	2. save in TIFF? or any other format to be printed
	3. anything else.

All suggestions welcome.  I would normally ask you to reply directly to
her, but I want to know too!

Thanks for any and all assistance.

We've got some code that will let you do simple plots on CGA or EGA
displays and HP GL plotters. They won't dump a CGA screen to printer or
plotter but, if you need to you can display on the CRT and then plot the
same graph on the plotter.

Our code is really a simple graphics library that we've used to
implement a data plotting program. It is written for the Logitech
compiler and we haven't worked on translating it for JPI lately. Is
isn't too difficult, mainly file I/O and my assembler coded modules need
changing.

Use an IBM/Epson printer, load GRAPHICS.COM and press shift-PrtSc when the plot is on screen.  Of course, there are other things one can do.
