If this makes it out I promise to go to a seminary and become a priest and remain celibate and ... and, ... oh, never mind!] Greetings. I have a program that creates a beautiful 8-bit color image in an off screen pix map and copybits it to the screen. It works wonderfully. However, wonderful is never enough. Now I'm told to >PRINT< out my masterpiece on the LaserWriter in gray scale. I have very little (read: NIL) time to do it but yet must. Does anybody know how to print in gray scale on the LaserWriter? Right now I just CopyBits my pix map to the printer and get straight black and white. No good! I play with the color map so I can also get gray scale on the screen, but how do I get it to the printer?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'll be forever indebted to anyone who can help me pull this off. Thanks much. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John Terranova <-- me disclaimer --> What the hell do I know? | | jct@ice.geology.wisc.edu <-- address I come from Waunakee! | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ song lyric: We'll drive into the sun and maybe never comin' back.
