PCX GRAPHICS EXAMPLE
A graphics file in a PCX format may also be transmitted to the printer.
The file must not be larger than 32K bytes (DOS file size reported in a
DIR listing). For example, the WIZ.PCX image shown below has a file size
of 15076 bytes.
The uncompressed size (PCX is a compressed file) of the file must not be
greater than 64K bytes. Generally this is not a problem unless the
graphic image is surrounded by a large amount of white space which the
PCX algorithm can compress very efficiently. If this is the case, the file
should be recaptured eo eliminate the surrounding white space as much
as possible.
The following basic program will send and print this file:
OPEN "WIZ.PCX" FOR INPUT AS #2
DA$=INPUT$(15706,#2)
C$=CHR$(27)
WIDTH"LPT1:",255
LPRINT C$;"A";
LPRINT C$;"V150";C$;"H100";C$;"GP15706,";DA$
LPRINT C$;"Q1";C$;"Z";
CLOSE #2
