I want to write a routine to plot some histograms. The routine should work on
a variety of printers (Proprinter, DeskJet and ThinkJet for now). I was
thinking of using Turbo's BGI files for this. Does anyone know of
a collection of BGI file for printers. I'm writing this in Turbo C 2.0 if it
matters.
Thanks.
John

I've written a printer graphics library which makes it as easy to print a graphic image as it is to display it on the screen. The library consists of a set of functions which parallel those available in the .BGI GRAPHICS.LIB which comes with Turbo C. For example, there is p_initgraph, p_circle, p_outtextxy, etc. All of these take the same parameters as the .BGI graphics functions, and in the same order. The library functions can be used to output to a file, or directly to the printer. Included with the library are three printer drivers (LaserJet, Epson LX-400, and Star NX-10). Also included is a utility which allows the user to create his own printer drivers. The package includes libraries for both Microsift C (v5.10) and Turbo C. The package is available from both SIMTEL and uwasa.fi -- get PGRPH101.ZIP I'm happy to field any comments/queries about the package in this newsgroup, or via email.
