- BGISnap (tm), Ver. 1.0 by Jeffrey Chasen
-
-
- BGISnap is a tsr that is used to capture any portion of an image that is
- currently on the screen in graphics mode (i.e. a picture from a paint
- program) into a file that can later be read in from a program and
- displayed using Borland's BGI putimage(). A variety of graphics modes
- are supported. Type BGISNAP without any parameters for syntax and usage.
-
- Once the tsr is activated (<LSHIFT> + <RSHIFT>) you may press F1 for help.
- You will first see a cursor in the middle of the screen. It may be moved
- using the arrow keys or ctrl+arrow keys for faster movement. Once you
- have arrived at the left corner of the image you want to capture press return
- and then continue to move using the arrow keys. You will see a rectangle
- being formed. Once you have enclosed your image press return again and
- the image will be saved to file you specified and the tsr deactivated.
- NOTE: Try to remove any mouse pointer you mave have on the screen from the
- area you are capturing. Also, you may press F2 to capture the entire screen.
-
- The file BGISNAP.C contains the format of the file that is created by the
- tsr as well as a sample function to display the image. Basically, since
- BGI can only handle images less than 64k the tsr breaks the image into 64k
- segments if neccessary. The format of the file created is a header that
- contains the number of segments and then the segments themselves.
-
- If you find BGISnap (tm) useful and would like a copy of the program
- that can be uninstalled, or if you have would like future versions
- of the program a registration of $25 would be appreciated.
- Suggestions for other BGI utilities are also welcome.
