XPRINT COPY statement

Purpose

Copy a bitmap to a host printer page.

Syntax

XPRINT COPY hbmpSource???, id& [, style&]

XPRINT COPY hbmpSource???, id& TO (x!, y!) [, style&]

XPRINT COPY hbmpSource???, id&, (x1!, y1!)-(x2!, y2!) TO (x!, y!) [, style%]

Remarks

You can copy a complete bitmap, or a portion of it, to the host printer page.  The expression hbmpSource??? specifies the handle of the source bitmap or window.  The expression id& is reserved for future use, and must always be set to zero.  The destination of the copy operation is the host printer page.  You must use care that your parameters are valid for the specified bitmaps, or results of the operation are undefined.

The first form of the XPRINT COPY statement copies the complete bitmap, positioning it at (0,0), which is the upper left corner of the destination.

The second form of XPRINT COPY also copies the complete bitmap, but positions it at the point specified by the parameter (x!, y!).

The third form copies a portion of the bitmap, positioning it at the point specified by the parameter (x!, y!).  If style& is included, it is one of the following values:

%mix_Blackness

Pixel is always 0 (black).

%mix_NotMergeSrc

Pixel is the inverse of the MergeSrc color.

%mix_MaskNotSrc

Pixel is a combination of the colors common to both the pixel and the inverse of the source.

%mix_NotCopySrc

%mix_MaskSrcNot

Pixel is a combination of the colors common to both the source and the inverse of the pixel.

%mix_Not

%mix_XorSrc

%mix_MaskSrc

Pixel is a combination of the colors common to both the source and the pixel.

%mix_NotXorSrc

%mix_MergeNotSrc

Pixel is a combination of the source color and the inverse of the pixel color.

%mix_CopySrc
