221.0. "Quantum Paint" by KERNEL::FLOWERS (Hero of the Green Screen...) Thu Sep 08 1988 09:44

Greetings all,

	I have yet another gem (pun not intended) of a question for you.
I am using an art package called Quantum Paint which outputs files in either
a .PBX format or a .NEO format. The problem I have is printing the paintings,
here at work we have an LCG01 which I believe should be able to handle this
sort of graphics after the files have been converted??? If I convert a .NEO
file using an image called VTNEO.EXE the printer does print the picture
only it prints it out a quarter of its proper size, the second half of the
picture first and in totally the wrong colours.

	Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong, as it would be rather
nice to use the ST to produce diagrams that could be used for seminars etc.

Jason.

221.1new versions of NEO-to-sixel programsREGENT::LOMICKARoy LomickaFri Sep 09 1988 14:3024
I asked Bjorn Engberg about your problem and he said it was OK to post 
a pointer.  He's been working on new versions of the neo-to-sixel programs:

The ones with the "_" in them replace the old (circa 1986) versions and 
support more of the NEO file format. 

VT_NEO is for VT240/VT241 devices
PA_NEO is for VT330/VT340 devices
LA_NEO is for LA50 type devices
LJ_NEO and LJ_NEO2 are for LJ250 (might work on LCG01 - not sure)

LJ_NEO2 produces a much larger picture than LJ_NEO does.
