I have been (belatedly) following the discussion on bitmaps - I have been
screen capturing and clipping the bit I wanted, but perhaps someone can
solve my problem: is there a reason why word doesn't always pick up on lines
drawn with thickness frame.dot ? I am producing graphs which have a grid,
but when pasted into word only some of the lines are visible. So I get
graphs with a funny looking partial grid...is it possible to paste directly
to word without this happening?

regards,
Mary Kynn
dot-: INTEGER dot = point - point MOD unit

This value can be used as an approximation of point, rounded to a pixel. By
using dot instead of point, ugly rounding errors can be avoided. For
example, if you used point as the thickness of a line, and a pixel were
slightly larger than point, the line might disappear altogether. Moreover,
you may want to use a very thin line on the screen (about one pixel) as a
hairline, but not have it become too small on a laser printer (where the
frame's unit is much smaller than on screen). In these cases, dot comes
handy.

I would like a (very simple to use) way of pasting a selected BlackBox

View as a Bitmap into other applications (such as Paint and especially
Powerpoint).

There are many options for getting to Powerpoint.

However, unless I go via Paint, Powerpoint does not recognise the result
as Bitmap (the Powerpoint Paste Special options are BlackBox View or
Picture, not Bitmap).

All the options (including the BlackBox Paste Special option 'Picture

(Bitmap)'
into a BlackBox Document) cause various distortions in the View - eg
Vertical

Fonts are incorrect, rectangles align incorrectly. (The only exception is to
do

a full screen capture, then clip out the required bit in Paint. Tedious and
inaccurate.)


Has anyone written some code that will simply capture the selected View, and
paste it as a simple Bitmap onto the Clipboard?

Cheers

Robert Campbell
