Fill
« Thread started on: Jul 28th, 2010, 10:42am » |

Is it possible to fill in the background without clearing the screen?
And also how do you print the graphics you drew on the printer? When I used *HARDCOPY, it came out completely black.

Check out the FILL statement, and the related PLOT commands (which give you more options).

I'm not aware of any problems with *HARDCOPY. Are you specifying any parameters? If so, check that they are correct. Try (as a test) using *HARDCOPY without any parameters. Note that *HARDCOPY prints the contents of the main output window (@hwnd%); you cannot use it to print any other types of window (edit controls, dialogue boxes etc.).

The *HARDCOPY worked with no parameters, but when I used the fill statement in my drawing program, it filled in what I drew and not the background. Any suggestions?

Read how fill works and select the correct PLOT code and GCOL code so that it fills the colour(s) you want it to fill but not the colours you don't want it to fill. The information you need is in the manual .
