All,Note that the previous DRAGON.BA file has a bug if you actually try to print the image. It doesn't re-enable interrupts after printing, thus forcing you to reset the M100 using the reset switch (the keyboard scan loop is disabled, so CTRL-BREAK doesn't work).
The attached updated DRAGON.BA fixes this. Ken On 12/14/22 6:30 AM, Ken Pettit wrote:
Hi Cedric,Yes, I can absolutely share this code. I will have to write a bit of documentation for it and post it to my Personal Libraries ... probably sometime tomorrow or Friday (I have some commitments prior to that). But for now, I have at least enclosed the DRAGON.BA file if you want to run it on your M100/102. This is a tokenized BASIC file which is self-contained (i.e. no external .CO file needed, unlike AsciiPixels).Also note that you press 'q' to quit. Or *if* you happen to have an FX-80 printer on hand (or are running in VirtualT with the Epson FX-80 printer emulation mode), you can hit 'p' for print. This will load different Machine Language code into the main LCD buffer which performs a graphic screen dump to the LPT port using Epson FX-80 low-resolution graphics protocol. I have attached a Postscript output file of the print from VirtualT as well.There is some documentation for AsciiPixels at Club100 in my Personal Libraries section, along with an application "pbm2ap" which will convert a RAW (i.e. binary, not ASCII) 1-bit color depth .pbm file (output from GIMP) file to an AsciiPixels file. Note that AsciiPixels .CO is much larger and more complex than APRAW and must be loaded as a .CO. But the advantage is that once it is loaded, the BASIC program doesn't need to spend time loading up ALTLCD with ML code, plus the AsciiPixels encoding for images is more compact than APRAW.Ken On 12/14/22 2:41 AM, Cedric Amand wrote:Can you share this code Ken ? Also where to get information about asciipixels ? Le 2022-12-14 03:13, Ken Pettit <petti...@gmail.com> a écrit : The code I have is a BASIC only implementation that loads a small ML program into ALTLCD and then draws a graphic from BASIC Strings. It is not as advanced as asciipixels in the following ways: 1. Asciipixels can draw an image at any X,Y location. Apraw can only draw at x*8, y*8 locations.
