Picture Creator v1.0 Andy Patterson, Author July 25, 2003 Hello. Thanks for downloading this utility. Basically, this utility allows you to do several things that most other picture programs and the TI-OS don't allow you to do. This editor is not comprehensive, that is, it does not include all draw functions of the calculator inside this program, primarily becuase it is MUCH faster to use them outside the program, and also to cut back on the size of this prog. If you want a full-scale comprehensive editor that does lines, boxes, circles, download prgmPIC by Phil Hitt. His just has different functions than this program and is better at more basic DRAW functions. Included here are: PICFUNC- The main picture editing utility NEEDS NO SUB-PROGRAMS! RDAPEAR- Converts a specified area of the graph to list format (this is included in the main program, but if you JUST want to do this this is the program to use) in lists XRD and YRD. RDINTRPT- Randomizes the lists XRD and YRD and stores the result to NX and NY; also deletes XRD and YRD (Again, this is also part of the main utility). RDDISP- Used to display NX and NY, NOT part of PICFUNC. Now, to the main program... To Install, just send to your calc via transmission software and a cable (duh) OK, now run it and you see a menu. To begin press ENTER on "Start..." Key tabs tells you: Arrows- Move Cursor Y=- Custom Move Cursor Window- Draw Point Zoom- Erase Point Trace- Toggle Pen Graph- Toggle Eraser When you press "Start...", it clears the screen and sets the window to: 94 Xmax 0 Xmin 62 Ymax 0 Ymin and places the blinking cursor around X=10 Y=6 VERY OCCASIONALLY the cursor erases or shades a pixel incorrectly- I haven't been able to fix this so just re-shade it if it does that To get to the in-program Menu press CLEAR- Each of these functions is pretty easy to understand. Invert... Takes you to a second menu which lets you choose between the whole screen and a given area- you enter the upper left and lower right ***NOTE- I used the Input function often in this program because it is MUCH faster than my cursor or any basic cursor can be. Shade... Is basically the same Erase... Is basically the same Text... Takes you to a menu which allows you to add either larger or small text YOU MUST DO "Enter Current" BEFORE you can add text!!! Return puts you back on the cursor screen Under the More... You can save or load Pics in either list or Pic format JUST KNOW there can be no more than 999 points on the graph for the whole screen conversion to a list. Also, the list Randomizer is here as well and is PART of the main program not a sub There is also a thing here to unarchive your pics That should be all for this release.
