1 SIXEL
This program will convert a ReGIS graphics file (such as one produced
by Datatrieve) and produce a SIXEL graphics file which is suitable for
printing on an appropriate printer (LA50, LA100, LN03, etc.).Since the
SIXEL conversion is a hardware function of a graphics terminal, the
program requires the use of a REGIS terminal. This device is defined
by the logical DISPLAY$DEVICE. For an interactive terminal, therefore,
a definitions such as the following should be made.
$ DEFINE DISPLAY$DEVICE TT:
If there is no logical translation for DISPLAY$DEVICE, the program
performs the above definition on the users behalf.
In addition, DISPLAY$DEVICE should be set to REGIS; the program will
abort If this characteristics is not set.
The specified ReGIS file is opened and displayed on the screen of
DISPLAY$DEVICE. The required sequences are sent to this device which
set graphics to host, enter regis, and initiate hardcopy output.
