4813.0. "CLAZ 2.0 problem.Compressed pictures?" by LNKHUB::SOKURA (My best friend is Mercedes-Benz.) Tue Jun 11 1991 10:36

    
    
    Hi,
    
    I tried to print circuit board scheme from WEFAX kit.
    The scheme were in IFF format and I tried to convert it
    to Postscrpipt with CLAZ IFF to PS converter v2.0.
    The printout were "compressed" in the of it.I used a
    LPS20 printer,and I also converted it .LN03 format
    and tried to print it on an LN03+ and got the same
    picture as with the LPS.
    Does anyone know if there exist a problem with CLAZ 2.0,
    and do there exist some another conversion program for
    doing this?

4813.1PS on Amiga or VMS ?TRUCKS::BUSSINK_E� ��k� W�t�h��g H��v��l� B�d��$Tue Jun 11 1991 11:125
    This might be a stupid question. But if you print your files on
    a LPS20 and LN03+, did you created the PS file on an Amiga or on VMS ?

4813.2PS on VMS.LNKHUB::SOKURAPut your foot in the air..Wed Jun 12 1991 03:229
    
    I've created the PS file on VMS.Do you think it would be different
    if I tried to create it on AMIGA?	
    Do you have a similar problem Erik? I read your earlier note about
    IFF2PS, is it the same as CLAZ?
    Have you tried to create the PS file om AMIGA instead?

    I created PS files with CLAZ on the VMS, and they were compressed, same
    with the IFF2PS on the amiga. They only change I've noticed with the
    IFF2PS v2.0 is that I get a error on the printer at the end. I will try
    tonight to make a PS file with CLAZ on the amiga.

    language, and how to increase the size of a pictures from A4 to A3.

    re: PostScript info
    
    Any bookstore with a decent computer section should have the Adobe
    PostScript reference series:

    	ISBN 0-201-18127-4
    
    PostScript Language Program Design
    	[ "Green book" ]
    	ISBN 0-201-14396-8
    
    PostScript Language Tutorial and Cookbook
    	[ "Blue book" ]
    	ISBN 0-201-10179-3
    
    All published by Addison-Wesley.
    
    You might find some answers in the PostScript conference...
4813.5Why PostScript or LN03 ?WELLIN::FINNISWed Jun 12 1991 18:3618
    
    Possibilities:-
    
    [1] Why not borrow a la50 or equivalent for a night and print it ?
    
    [2] Post the circuit and we can have a go 
    
    [3] Or try csix and convert it to sixel on the vax and print it
    
    
	Only problem I have is if the background that the IFF was made in
    is dark, it makes the picture difficult to read ( CLAZ ) . 
    So it gets imported into a paint package and modified.

4813.6Try CLAZ.DOC...LNKHUB::SOKURAPut your foot in the air..Thu Jun 13 1991 10:4610
    
    Hi again,
    
    I found the document CLAZ.DOC on TAPE""::AMIGA:[AMIGA.USENET.DOC]
    and in that document I found that you should supply the picture
    size of the IFF image.
    I tried that and I got a much better printout then.

	If I try to run CLAZ (VMS) on a HAM IFF file which was produced by
	GIF2IFF (again VMS) then after a few moments I get

	%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, ...etc
