PATTERN FILES
Drawn By Jeffrey S. Kline


The files in this library contain complete examples of all the available
"FILL" patterns in GBASIC/CMD, GBASIC/LOD, and GRAFYX/LOD (included with
the PASCAL routines disk). These may be displayed on your screen with
any of the utilities available both with the board and those from the
download libraries, or printed on your printer. There are several ways
of accomplishing this. I have included a program which will dump whatever
is on the high resolution screen to a Gemini 10x/15x printer. The program
should also work with Epson MX/RX/FX type printers although I do not own
one to test it with. It uses the bit image mode of the printer and prints
X coordinates accross the page and Y down the page. It will also use the
highest resolution mode (960 pixels per line in X direction) of the printer
thereby giving a smaller dump than the LPRINT(n) routine in GBASIC (under
Micro Labs system). To use it, load the pattern or picture on your graphics
display (does not have to be turned on), and from DOS ready, just invoke
it. I named it GEMDUMP4/CMD but you may re-name it to anything you desire
to fit your particular environment.

I do not know for sure if these patterns are available under the R/S
version but I believe that they are.

The need for these came from using PRO-DRAW by Ted Carter and the fact
that it asks you for a value instead of letting you "Point & Click" the
fill pattern you desire. With a printout of these next to you, you can
make a selection as the number of each of the patterns is in the lower
right corner of each box. You can also use these files with GBASIC and
even assembly if you are using the GBASIC or GRAFYX loader files and make
calls to them. I have tried them and they work fine.

These files took a long time to do so I hope they are of use to others as
well as myself. They are free for your use. You do not have to pay anything
other than your downloading expense.

Enjoy and if you have any suggestions, complements, or whatever, drop me
