Intermec 6100 Reference Guide

R

N6100.BGI is in the 6100 Tool Kit, and it is a custom Borland Graphics InterĆ

face.  It develops Borland graphics based applications on the 6100 Computer.

There are two ways to use this in a DOS application.  The first is to keep the apĆ

plication and the BGI driver separate.  This requires loading the driver from

your application.  The calls to do this are documented in Borland C++ DOS RefĆ

erence.  Start with installuserdriver.  This is the method used by Calib, described

in this section.
For details on how you may include this into your DOS application see the

UTILS.TXT file that describes how to use the BGIOBJ converting utility.  Also,

see the registerbgidriver routine in the DOS Reference to apply this method.  You

will need the following files:

"

N6100.BGI Real mode PENKEY.BGI driver

"

N6100.H

Interface file for use with the BGI driver

The driver plugs in" to the Borland BGI graphics library via the installuserdrivĆ

er() function.  Mode selection is done via a series of #define symbols in the

N6100.H header file - note that the BGI DETECT autodetect logic does not work

with this driver.  The following modes are available from this driver:
Resolution

Symbol

230x240x4

BGI_LANDSCAPE

240x320x4

BGI_PORTRAIT

Init the driver in 320x240x4 mode:

#include <graphics.h>

#include “n6100.h”

int driver, mode;

driver = installuserdriver(“N6100”,NULL);

/* do this only once */

mode = BGI_LANDSCAPE;

initgraph($drvr,$mode,“”);

Init the driver in 240x320x4 mode:

#include <graphics.h>

#include “n6100.h”

int driver, mode;

driver = installuserdriver(“N6100”,NULL);

/* do this only once */

mode = BGI_PORTRAIT;

initgraph($drvr,$mode,“”);

See the demo program TEXT.C, included in the Tool Kit, for an example of how

to initialize and use the N6100.BGI driver.
