Sb: #geoPaint file too large?
Fm: Bob Clemens (Roch. NY) 76337,3532
To: All
I've created a GEOpaint file that's a bit bigger than the window. Can a
paint file of this size be put into a GeoWrite document?
It's some type in a box, to be used as a heading for an informal
newsletter for my department at work. Actually, the box around the type is the
only reason I made it into a paint file.

Bob,
Is the image wider than the window, taller than the window, or both? Also,
do you know if the whole thing would fit into a full-screen size? (Like
Doodle, or whatever.) I can think of a couple of tricks, but which one will
work best depends on exactly what you've got.

Ed,
The image is WIDER than the window. The actual size, as printed out, is
about 1 1/4" high x 4 1/2" long.
Thanks for your help.

Bob,
Hmmm. I know how to create full-screen-size scraps, but they're too large
for geoWrite. Let me ponder this a bit. Drat!

The latest issue of GEOWORLD talks about bigger-than-window photo scraps.
Unfortunately, I lent my copy to someone and they haven't returned it yet
<<<sigh>>>
Gee, it didn't sink in that you lived in Rochester. My in-laws live in Honeoye
Falls, and my brother-in-law works for Kodak.

Sure, Bob, I'll do that. My brother-in-law's name is Rich Sensenbach, and he's
an artist. He just recently changed departments within the company, but I
don't remember the exact department where he works.

Marte,
FYI, one way to create full-screen (40 col) scraps is to use a pair of Joe
Buckley's programs. First while viewing a geoPaint using PaintView II (from
the RUN Power Pak disk), press S, then follow the prompts to create a Doodle
format file. Next, using Graphic Storm II (I got mine when I registered one of
his shareware pgms, I believe it was Graphic Storm I) convert the previously
created Doodle to a scrap. Easy as pie! Unfortunately, you can't import these
big scraps into either geoPaint or geoWrite. geoPub can handle them quite
nicely, and my SCRAPK.BIN in LIB 13 can view them.
With both RUN and geoWorld publishing GEOS disks now, there's a lot of good
things happening in GEOS. It may not be quite as exciting as it must have been
when Jim Butterfield began to be noticed, but it's an awful lot of fun to watch
what Buckley and some of the other good GEOS programmers are doing!

Not sure. I think you can have a photo scrap bigger than an editing window. You
might take a look at Joe Buckley's Graphic Storm and see if that would help to
put the image into an Album. BTW, you might be interested in a file I'll be
uploading. It is a set of shadowed dialog or message boxes. You could import
them into an album and then insert them in you documents then later fill in
the text. If ever in doubt about what I've uploaded, just BRO 72127,2301. Tony
