I want to print 'large' graphic-objects with the infrared-printer (82240B). The graphics are more than 131 Pxels long. For I don't like them having split on the paper, I want them to turn 90degrees. Does anybody know how to do this ? Thanks a lot Daniel

The TOOL LIBRARY (TLLIB, library 776, in Jim Donnelly's ToolKit) contains a ROTATE command which can rotate grobs. If you don't have the ToolKit, I highly recommend it. It's available at your friendly neighborhood HP 48 dealer. -- Joseph K. Horn -- Peripheral Vision, Ltd. --

Unfortunately, I dont have it any more. If anyone else happened to grab it, please repost it or send it to Wayne Scott's ftp server. -Robert Thompson P.S. Basically, you need to take the grob string and parse it such that you scan it vertically and send the resulting pattern to the printer. As I recall, the printer manual has information about printing a string as graphics. I think you send char 255 to it before the string and it terminates on a null character (er something like that.) Good luck.

I wrote it in user language, intending to put it in my book. It was so embarrassingly slow that I threw the code away and in its place I use the program << ROTATE >> where 'ROTATE' is a very fast, machine-code command in Jim Donnelly's Toolkit. I highly recommend it. Regards Ray Depew HP, but not the calculator gang (sigh) rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com
