commands to use the printer in landscape mode for graphics?

thank you

Good Morning Mr. Loris

} commands to use the printer in landscape mode for graphics?

I know, you asked for the (C) version.

Believing in the continuation of HPs software, this would be
a inexcusable and unforgivable and unpardonable mistake, or
lets say an fundamental error if AGILENT in an
monitored approach of megalomania has changed some
variables. (I don't believe :-)

In the (B) version of HP Chemstations fabulous macro language
the variable is :

ORIENTPR = 1 for portrait mode printing and
ORIENTPR = 2 for landscape mode.

This variable is defined in cpres.dll

You can find (or have still found) some example macros in the
file macros.mac or msda.mac.

------

If I am wrong - you can use (for yourself) the good old method
of printing the graphic in a postscript file - using the landscape
function in the printer settings (f.e., Schlumberger printer, or
Laserjet 5 MP/PS). Later you can load it via PowerPoint or
CorelDraw. This works with any software (I guess :-)

-----

If I am double wrong - use the software FinePrint 2000.

With kind regards
Tobias Kind

PS: triple wrong... Quadrupol wrong ?
