[comp.sys.handhelds] EQWriter->GROB

d0mo@dtek.chalmers.se (Mats Olsson) (02/14/91)

Hi!

Does anyone know how to get a GROB out of the picture made
by the Equation writer. When entering GRAPH while playing
around in the EQW, one doesn't get the menu options for 
cutting out graphic objects. Is there som key combination
I've missed?

Thanks,

Well... Take a look at the first page in the Quick Reference Guide.
The key is 'STO'.

Yes you did.  Just press the STO key while in the equation writer and whatever
is on the screen will be put into stack item one as a graphic object.

Hi.

Not only can you push STO when in the EquationWriter mode to get a GROB of the
equation, but you can also put an algebraic on the stack in Level 1, and then
execute 0 \->GROB.  This will process the algebraic and return the Equation
Writer GROB version, just as if you had entered the EqnWr and pushed STO.

It takes just as long, too!!

Two ways to do it:

1)  While in the normal Equation Writer (but NOT scrolling mode), press
    STO. 

2)  With the equation on Level 1, press:

     0 [PRG]{DSPL}[NXT][NXT]{->GROB}.

Either way, you end up with a grob of the equation that's at least 131 x 56
pixels.

Enjoy.
