This is the background: We have written a graphic editor (with Objective-C and ICpak201). Now I want to use the different symbols (their bitmaps) for the print out. I soon found a way to convert them into the imagemask format. This is the problem: Almost all of the bitmaps are12x12 pixels and the imagemask operator places a two-character string (8 bits) on stack each time. I'm not sure if I missunderstood something, but my 12x12 bitmaps doesn't look the same on paper and on screen, I tried some tricks, but I haven't come to any solution. Is there a way to scan 12 bits at a time? THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST -- Kenneth Persson email: kenneth@enorm.ericsson.se EB Signal AB, Stockholm, Sweden
