HOW TO PRINT THE DRSCHEME GRAPHICS WINDOW On the Composers The easiest way to print a window on a SunRay is to click on the graphics window and press Alt+PrintScreen. This will let you save the image as a PNG file on the Desktop. You can click on that file and print it out. Another way on Strauss and Mahler is to use xv to grab the image from DrScheme's graphics window. First, type the command xv in an X-term window on Strauss or Mahler. Click the xv window with the right mouse button to bring up the control panel. In the lower right-hand corner of the control panel, click the grab button to bring up the grab window. In the grab window, click the grab button, then immediately move the mouse to DrScheme's graphics window and click it with the left mouse button. This will grab the entire window, including border, into xv. Alteratively, you can click the graphics window with the middle mouse button and drag it to mark a rectangular region in the graphics window for xv to grab. Once the image has been grabbed by xv, click the print button on the control panel. This brings up a prompt window. Click the Grayscale button. Click the OK button in the postscript window that pops up, and the image will go to the laser printer. NOTE: You may have to move the DrScheme graphics window out of the way first before calling xv so that the xv windows won't overlap it. On a PC It should be easy to capture a DrScheme graphics image on your PC. First open a new document in your word processor (Microsoft Word or OpenOffice, for example), thenclick on the graphics window and push ALT+PrtSc. Go back to your word processor, click on Edit and select Paste. That will bring the captured image out of the buffer and into the document processor. Then you can print the image however you want. If you don't have a document processor or otherwise can't use the Print Screen (PrtSc) key, you have the following options: 1. Download a freeware/shareware program that does screen capture. Examples of such programs are escreen.exe (EasyScreen), cksnatch.zip, escren34.zip, and sclip420.zip. The zip files can be found in the graphics section of the Windows 95 part of simtel. (I believe that www.simtel.net/simtel.net will get you to the right place.) I haven't tried these programs, but they are supposed to capture all or part of your screen. They may or may not print out the image too. 2. If you can't print the captured screen image with one of the programs above, you will need another program to do that, or you will still have to transfer the image file to Strauss and print it out using xv. (Call xv with the name of the image file you want to view, then click the print button, etc.) On my IBM PC, there is an imagine program written by Wang that will print image files (if they are in the right format, such as tiff). It is found on the accessories menu of the program menu. Your PC may have the same or similar program. Alternatively, you may have to download another free program, such as iview ("IrfanView32") to print the image file.
