BGISnap (tm), Ver. 1.0 by Jeffrey Chasen
BGISnap is a tsr that is used to capture any portion of an image that is
currently on the screen in graphics mode (i.e. a picture from a paint
program) into a file that can later be read in from a program and
displayed using Borland's BGI putimage(). A variety of graphics modes
are supported. Type BGISNAP without any parameters for syntax and usage.
Once the tsr is activated (<LSHIFT> + <RSHIFT>) you may press F1 for help.
You will first see a cursor in the middle of the screen. It may be moved
using the arrow keys or ctrl+arrow keys for faster movement. Once you
have arrived at the left corner of the image you want to capture press return
and then continue to move using the arrow keys. You will see a rectangle
being formed. Once you have enclosed your image press return again and
the image will be saved to file you specified and the tsr deactivated.
NOTE: Try to remove any mouse pointer you mave have on the screen from the
area you are capturing. Also, you may press F2 to capture the entire screen.
The file BGISNAP.C contains the format of the file that is created by the
tsr as well as a sample function to display the image. Basically, since
BGI can only handle images less than 64k the tsr breaks the image into 64k
segments if neccessary. The format of the file created is a header that
contains the number of segments and then the segments themselves.
If you find BGISnap (tm) useful and would like a copy of the program
that can be uninstalled, or if you have would like future versions
of the program a registration of $25 would be appreciated.
Suggestions for other BGI utilities are also welcome.
