      The graphics in NICRON-E

We offer you a conversion utility graphic
images from the internal format of "reading room" in the usual 
format graphics Spectrum. Need for such transformation may 
occur if you wish to extract from the newspaper any picture - 
for printing on paper or use for personal purposes (recall that 
the use of the material for other purposes allowed only with 
the consent of the authors). 

   Of course, to draw your favorite picture from the newspaper 
can be known barbaric way, enjoyed by all and sundry, when one 
wants to "pull" the screen from the toy. But the reader 
provides a much more civilized option. 

   To upload a graphic of the reading room block of the current 
segment click "Graph". Written to the disk file with a "S". This

graphics format reading room. Run DECOD_SC. Enter the name of 
the file shipped unit. If the total amount of image data 
exceeds one screen, the disk will be written to multiple 
display files of standard form. It sounded the word "segment". 
Segment in the reader - it's a block of combined text and 
graphics, which is loaded reader as a single unit in memory and 
displays it. One newspaper may contain up to 8 segments. The 
48-K machine is loaded in memory at a time one segment. 128-K 
computer to determine the boundaries of segments can be some 
"lags" for a second during the transition from one segment to 
another. Pressing unloading (Extended Mode or Graph) on the 
entire disc is written entirely text and all graphics from the 
current segment and not only that can be seen on the screen.


   Print on paper, both text and graphics can be directly
from the reading room with built-in print driver for the 
interface ZX-Lprint-III. In this case, you are exempt from the 
cares of the layout image on paper - print reader as you see on 
the screen. The text, of course, are printed in a printer and 
not a 3 * 6 64-character-mode screen. Graphic the image is 
printed with some distortion of proportions that motivated by 
the desire to combine text and image on the sheet; as seen on 
the screen. If you wish to print only the pictures, but without 
the geometric distortion of proportions, you just and help 
program DECOD_SC! 

   Owners of "PROFI" and other computers, in which to display
data to the printer is not used ZX-Lprint-III, can use an 
external print driver. In the next issue we will talk about 
this, try to prepare his version of the driver under KR580VV55A 
not to bore you with the creation of their own. 

   Editorial NICRON-and invites the authors of screen images! 
Now you, dear correspondents, have the opportunity not only to 
say something, but to show! Send interesting pictures, photos 
and stuff, and you will become our sponsors! 

 P.S. (C) MERLIN Unfortunately I have just now ruined disc
so HELP'om which I had prepared, but the next number, I will 
try everything - still pereupryamit hard rock (the second time 
flies text), and all - did you insert this, my firm HELP!
