[comp.graphics] Calcomp Electrostatic Plotters - XSETPEN call

krishnan@atc1.UUCP (Krishnan Iyer) (11/16/90)

I am programming my Calcomp Electrostatic plotter using Calcomp's UHCBS.
Now, Calcomp provides a 1024 entry color palette and a 1024 entry pen palette
but I want to set the pen palette identical to the color palette for as many
colors as possible. I have RGB (or CYMB) values for the colors and I want to
pass that on to the pens using the XSETPN call.

So far I have been able to do that with the 8 solid colors only but I would
like to have about 64 or 128 colors.

Please send any responses to my e-mail address. If you have any information
pertinent to my questions, please respond.

Thanx.
