I'm having a problem with the SM capture portion of the screen. My print screen options are set up to capture to a black and white DDIF file. After I capture the image into the file I read the file I created into paint (or any other application to view the image stored in the DDIF file). The problem is that every pixel that was white on the screen before is now black and every pixel that was black is now white. So I get and inverted image of what I had on the screen before. I'm running VMS 5.2, DECW 2.0 Am I doing something wrong or is capture? I'm in the process of writing some code that extracts a bitmap from a DDIF file generated by capture and I'm getting the opposite of what I expect. Thats why I trying to figure out if its something I am doing or capture. Thanks, Marc

AG.. Could this be the 'old' inverted BRT thing again?? Try copy/log vanity""::invert_brt.exe and assign output_file_from_printscreen.DDIF INPUT assign new.DDIF OUTPUT run invert_brt and see if the creaed DDIF file NEW.DDIF looks right | |||||

I ran the file through invert_brt and I still get the same results. If I read in the new file from paint I still get an inverted image of what was on the screen before. Marc | |||||
| 1501.3 | We've got the same problem - of course | SED750::KORMAN | tgif!! | Thu Nov 16 1989 06:38 | 11 |
We have found the same thing - we have just upgraded to VMS 5.3/DEC2 and this is playing havoc with our use of the art library - cos when we capture the image from the PSviewer it gets inverted. The work around is to set your window up to inverse video and then capture it - which puts it back the right way round. We need a fix tho, cos this is a pain! Dave | |||||
