Stewart) Newsgroups: comp.lang.pascal Subject: Displaying "alien" pictures with TurboPascal Summary: Need TurboPascal source code to display .PIC, IFF etc. screens Keywords: TurboPascal, graphics Message-ID: <1990Dec5.045507.15945@massey.ac.nz> Date: 5 Dec 90 04:55:07 GMT Organization: Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Lines: 29 X-Reader: NETNEWS/PC Version 2.1 I'm sure this problem would have been discussed before here but I'm quite new to Turbo Pascal programming so bear with me. Can any of you gurus help me with this one. I am writing a piece of software in TurboPascal 5.5 where I will ocassionally need to show pictures prepared from other drawing software such as Microsoft Paintbrush, Harvard graphics ect. The TP program would have to call them up, display them, and then return to itself. How would I go about doing this? Is there any sort of public domain convert routine from paintbrush files to TP graphics files? Alternatively, to prevent me from re-inventing the wheel, is there any PD source code which will display these files from turbo-pascal directly. Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Cheers Terry Stewart (TStewart@massey.ac.nz) Massey University Palmerston North P.S. The TP program does many other things beside displaying the pictures (i.e. it is not a just a "slide show").
