Sending output from an application to a plotter GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Guide SC33-0867-01 |
|
You can send graphics output to a plotter attached to a terminals such as the 3472-G. A typical use is for making hard copies of screen graphics. GDDM applications can plot alphanumeric text, only if the plotter is attached to a PC or PS/2. On other configurations only the graphics field is sent to the plotter and alphanumeric calls are invalid. Graphics primitives outside segments are not plotted. Plotters can be opened for family-1 or family-2 output. You tell GDDM that you intend to use a plotter by issuing a suitable DSOPEN call. It can be the primary or alternate device. Nicknames can be used to send output originally created for a different device (for example, a family-2 printer) to a plotter. Subtopics: |
