HP49G+: How do I sent text strings to the Picture screen?
Message #1 Posted by Eddie Shore on 3 Apr 2004, 1:56 p.m.

Any help will be appreciated. I want to build a game board on the picture screen

i.e.

$ 350 $ 500 $ 1000

LUCKY $ 850

PRIZE MOVE1 $ 475

Hi,

PICT {#x #y} "Your String" 2 >GROB GOR

does the job.

Step by step: Place the name PICT on the stack (Menu: PRG->[PICT]->[PICT])

Then enter the pixel coordinates as HEX strings in {}.

After that place your string on the stack, choose the font size (1 or 2) and perform >GROB (Menu: PRG->[GROB]->[->GRO])

Then perform GOR or GXOR, and take a look at your PICT.

However, this is all explained in the manual, at least in the HP-48 manuals, so maybe you should read it.

Raymond
