Hi Bela-san! Sorry to bother you again, but I thought that maybe my last message got lost in the shuffle. My question is this: how can I save graphics windows from AmigaBASIC in IFF files, and if that is impossible (or nearly impossible), how can I simply print out the picture on an Okimate 20? I have a simple program that draws in perspective in med-res, and one in hi-res, Cartesian coordinates in 3-d space, thanks to an article in BYTE of a couple of years ago. Would you like me to upload it? — Craig * Replies: 13138, 13184

Craig…two PD programs may help you. SAVEILBM will save ANY amiga screen to disk as an IFF file providing you can get to a CLI window to run it….. SCREENDUMP will dump any screen to printer, it runs in its own menubar. Sounds like SAVEILBM would solve your problem. It's in the library. * Reply: 13200 * RR 13137 +

Thanks!–I'll try it and get back to you if it works. * RR 13137 +

HR's got you covered, I think. Definitely upload your programs! They sound interesting. – Bela * Reply: 13202 * RR 13137 +

Thanks, Bela–I will. The 3-dimensional Cartesian space is defined by the user as data statements at the end of the program, and the image for the format used is in a REM statement immediately preceeding the data. A box 1 foot square on each side sitting twenty feet from the user is loaded as an example. I user is loaded as an example. I am currently using the program in scene design for the theatre to determine sight lines and such. * RR 13137
