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 large amount of
white space which the PCX algorithm can compress very efficiently. If this is the case, the file
should be recaptured to 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
The printer output for this program is:
