- A Scaling Screen Dump Demo Program

- The program PD.PAS is provided as an example driver program
- to show use of the XDUMP program. When you start PD it will check
- the current screen definition and ask you if you wish to use it.
- The screen is defined based on the Turbo Pascal InitGraph driver
- and mode selections. Refer to the Turbo Pascal graphics
- definitions to select a different value.
-
- Once the screen type and mode have been selected PD will ask
- for the screen dimensions you wish to use. The program will start
- with the default CGA parameters. You can select any other size
- you wish. If you attempt to select a value larger than the
- current screen it will be truncated to the screen size.
-
- After the screen has been selected you will be asked to
- select whether to print it in upright or landscape mode. After
- which you will be asked which print mode is to be used.
-
- Once the direction and print mode have been selected, the
- current default values for that selection will be shown and you
- will be asked if you wish to change it. If you do you can enter
- new values. No limit check is done on the printer values, so if
- you exceed the horizontal width of your printer you will get
- erratic operation.
-
- When the printer area has been defined you will then be
- asked if you wish to use color or monochrome print mode. It is
- assumed that you will select monochrome only if you don't have a
- color screen. The color mode currently only works for EGA or VGA
- type screens. If you have a CGA you must select monochrome mode.
-
- Now a test pattern will be displayed on the screen after
- which the print screen dump will begin. When the screen dump is
- finished the test pattern will remain on the screen until a key
- is pressed so that you can compare the printout to the screen
- display.
