Hello, I have a small problem I need help with: I have a graphics image I dumped from MapleV (a mathematics program) to an iff file I am trying to print it with AmigaTeX. The problem is the iff file has the colors of the screen! That is, it has blue and red lines on the graph, with white axis's (axi?) on a BLACK background. When I print this sucker it comes out far, far too black. Setting a threshold doesn't work. If I set it so the background isn't black, obviously the rest of the lighter stuff won't print. Maple seems to have no facility to change the colors, and since it took 4 hours to create, just re-creating it would screw up the schedule. I have Photon Paint 2.0, but I got it 5 years ago with my machine and I have no idea how to use it. I managed to switch the black register color with the white register color but that screwed up the axis labeling (some of the characters dissappeared). It also still had a large black border. I guess it needs trimming. I guess what I want is some help in running Photon Paint or just pointing me to a program on CIS that will help. A postscript version of the graph Maple dumped is printing out landscape. If anyone know how to convert that to portrait, I wouldnt need to mess with the iff. I guess I'll ask that one in the Adobe forum. In short, HELP! Thank you for any assistance you can offer. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
