- GRAPHIO BAR Graphics on the ATARI Portfolio
-
- GRAPHIO.EXE is a program that uses the graphic capabilities of the ATARI
- Portfolio. The program reads lists of numbers from one of the Portfolio
- applications, in particular the WORKSHEET, and makes a BAR graph from it.
-
- Getting started:
-
- 1. Copy the program to the Portfolio, using either the serial or parallel
- interface. Make sure there is enough space : graphio.exe at the moment
- occupies 11120 bytes.
- 2. Start the Portfolio worksheet and load or type a list of numbers in
- one column.
- 3. Save the list in the Clipboard. (Go to top of list, press F3, MARK,
- go to bottom of list, press F3 , STORE), and quit the application.
- 4. Start by typing GRAPHIO <enter>.
- The program looks up CLIPBORD.DAT, and, if it finds any numbers, uses
- them to make a bar graph.
- 5. If a matrix printer is attached to the Portfolio, three sizes of
- hardcopy can be produced by pressing F1, F2 or F3.
-
- GRAPHIO.EXE was written to make use of the graphic possibilities of the ATARI
- Portfolio pocket computer.
- The program was written using Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.5 ,using some special
- techniques to compile an EXE file small enough for the Portfolio.
- The EXE file has been compacted using LZEXE by Fabrice Bellard,
- to use as little of the precious card space as possible.
