Try it...... regarding line drawing characters.
In WORD 2003 of Windws XP or WORD of Windows 2000, you can see line drawing characters by doing the following:
1) Print to a file with a different file extension, like .FIL
2) Get into WORD, and open the file.
3) Word presents a small window called "File Conversion". In this window, select "OEM United States" from the menu.
4) Word will now show your text with the proper line drawing characters.
5) You can now print this Word file.
Oh, oh, I think I messed up, sorry. I was talking about printing out "line drawing characters", but you guys are talking about graphics on the screen produced by the line statement. Two totally different things.guest wrote:thats a good idea how do you make the graphic a file in qbasic?
Lprint DOES send data to the printer, but only text such as the contents of string or numeric constants or expressions, likeDoesn't the LPRINT command send commands to the printer?
Code: Select all
LPRINT "Hello"
LPRINT num+6
In dos PrnScrn only worked if you loaded GRAPHICS.COM at the DOS start. The windows screen capture does not work in fullscreen modes.z!re wrote: He's trying to print graphics, which in the case of DOS is easy by pressing the PrtScrn key. In windows I thought this key just caused a screen capture which could be pasted (Ctrl+V) into any compliant app... no?
I never said that...Antoni wrote:In dos PrnScrn only worked if you loaded GRAPHICS.COM at the DOS start.

It works for me. I just hit the Print Screen button, go into Paint, Edit --> Paste, and pow, it's there.Antoni wrote:In dos PrnScrn only worked if you loaded GRAPHICS.COM at the DOS start.

Just tried, I can take a screenshot of the QB IDE in fullscreen mode..The Walrus wrote:It's only in NT based Windows versions you can't use Print Screen in fullscreen modes.
In the VERY old days of DOS, PrtScrn worked without GRAPHICS.COM loaded, but that was back when CGA was the highest resolution (640x200). As QuickBASIC began to support higher resolutions, such as EGA (640x350) you needed to have GRAPHICS.COM loaded. That was a boon to us back then. We could actually print an EGA screen with just the press of a button! Imagine!Antoni wrote: In dos PrnScrn only worked if you loaded GRAPHICS.COM at the DOS start...
