Title: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: kindermoumoute on September 12, 2010, 04:49:56 am

Here I ask the right and left and nobody seems to know if possible, i want :
Copy the screen (StoreGDB) and then save it to a variable Pic1-Pic9 reusable in TI-Basic.

no idea?

Sry i found. My post is useless.

What solution did you find to the problem? Could you post the source code?

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: meishe91 on September 12, 2010, 05:10:01 am

I think it has to do with like taking the the buffer and using GetCalc( to store it to Pic#. I don't remember though, someone else asked not to long ago though I think.

that's same function than other Variable, just need "Pic1"=>Str1 and next u manipulate. it's just i write Pic1 in TI-Editor and calc understand P-i-c-1 :/

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: kindermoumoute on September 12, 2010, 06:09:27 am

As i open this topic for help, i ask a new stuff :
when i do
"Pic1"=>Str1
"Pic2Pic3Pic4"
for use Pic2 or Pic3..etc i do Str1+4 and fail, next i do Pic1+1 and crash.. no idea? =)

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator

Oh, it's because when you "store" to a string, it actually adds a zero byte to the end of it, so

"Pic1"→Str1

would actually become

"Pic1" [00]

because in assembly, strings need to end in a zero. So to make your code work, try

"Pic1"→Str1 "Pic2" [00] "Pic3" [00] "Pic4" [00]

then access it with Str1.

Post by: kindermoumoute on September 12, 2010, 10:45:34 am

Ok, then i type Str1+1 or Str1+4?

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: Deep Toaster on September 12, 2010, 10:46:42 am

Yeah, for GetCalc(.

Actually, you might want to check first with everything archived. I haven't tried it yet.

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: calcdude84se on September 12, 2010, 10:48:10 am

You use Str1, Str1+2, Str1+4, and Str1+6, because each [00] is also a byte.

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: Deep Toaster on September 12, 2010, 10:51:45 am

Ahh, whoops, forgot about that x.x

Good thing you got here, calcdude. Yeah, count in 2s instead.

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: calcdude84se on September 12, 2010, 10:57:26 am

Actually, wait. I think it actually goes up 3 at a time...
Str1, Pic1, etc. are actually two bytes...
Edit: Actually, don't pad with [00]'s at all. Use "Pic1Pic2Pic3Pic4"->Str1 and increment two at a time.

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: Deep Toaster on September 12, 2010, 10:58:36 am

What? Oh crap. Right, three bytes.

As I said, I never checked :P

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: calcdude84se on September 12, 2010, 10:59:35 am

^ And my above note. The padding should be unnecessary. ;D
I might still be wrong though...
* calcdude checks to make sure

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: Deep Toaster on September 12, 2010, 11:01:16 am

Actually, for calcdude's edit, that still doesn't work. There's that extra [00], remember?

Try

[]→Str1 "Pic1Pic2Pic3Pic4"

EDIT: Oh, wait, never mind. That works.

EDIT2: NO! Wait! I think you do need padding: http://future_history.freehostia.com/Files/Resources/ASM/ASMin28Days/lesson/day19.html (http://future_history.freehostia.com/Files/Resources/ASM/ASMin28Days/lesson/day19.html) (go down to Matrices, Pictures, Strings).

Great! Which one did you use, though?

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: kindermoumoute on September 12, 2010, 11:17:53 am

i'll update my post, that's megr2.0 prgm.

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: Deep Toaster on September 12, 2010, 11:20:11 am

Oh, but I meant which code you used to fix that Pic > Str thing (just for reference).

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: calcdude84se on September 12, 2010, 11:21:57 am

Okay... looking at the developer's guide (by TI), it seems that each of "Pic1" etc. are three bytes and need to be followed by a 0.
So it should look like

Code: [Select]

"Pic1->Str1
"Pic2
[00]
"Pic3
[00]
"Pic4
[00]

And they're accessed by Str1, Str1+4, Str1+8, and Str1+12.
There we go; I'm almost certain I'm correct this time :)

Post by: Deep Toaster on September 12, 2010, 11:44:21 am

Oh, wow, ignore the earlier posts in that case. I wonder how Kindermoumoute managed to make it work...

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: calcdude84se on September 12, 2010, 11:46:58 am

I don't know... maybe he used only Str1 and didn't try the other ones... idk.
Well, I'm glad we finally figured this out. Good luck Kindermoumoute!

If you have a variable S which is the S-th pic, you can save pictures like this instead:

Code: [Select]

"Pic1"->Str1   .Only need one string name
S->{Str1+2}    .Changes to Pic2, Pic3, etc.
GetCalc(Str1)  .Use the string

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: calcdude84se on September 12, 2010, 02:01:59 pm

Wait, isn't it that storing S to {Str1+2} corresponds to the S+1-th pic?
In my above screenie, you'll see they are from $00-$03, and I used pics 1-4 ;D

hm ok, i understand what u say, i write Pic+2 then he can work because my prgm use always Pic+2, but pics in calc did not appear. I had more memory corrupt. So I corrected in Pic+4 and big reset of the death (I won 10ko for exactly the same programs in memory :o ) and this works!

Are you talking about Quigibo's post? It's {Str1+2}, not Pic1. And I hope you didn't lose anything important :-\

I see that there are still some bugs in my method to save my pictures. When I save, I have a chance in two that he register in the picture but they are not (not shown) in the calculator.
As shown in the screen below, I record in picture 1.2, 8 and 9 during my drawings. But the result is going to tell me that only Pic1 and Pic2 (in the menu from memory) when the variables are well and stored in the list of images (and I can remember). And one can also notice that when I recall the image 1 or 2, there are 5 lines shift up images.

Screen :

iv'e had the same 5 line shift thing happen before when dealing with external vars. try a RAM clear and then remake the pics to see if it clears things up

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 29, 2010, 01:57:47 pm

Mhmm, I wonder if this might not be something similar to my problem with appvars a long while ago.

In fact it was related to your program, but I was trying to write the routine:

http://ourl.ca/4886

I am unsure if this would apply for pictures, though. You may have to PM Quigibo directly for help, as he might no longer check the help topics.

Title: Re: Save screen on a variable pic calculator
Post by: Quigibo on September 29, 2010, 04:55:10 pm

I can't seem to find anywhere in that code where it actually loads a picture from RAM. There are 2 places where it creates a new picture though, so maybe that's the error? Remember, one argument means it loads the variable and 2 arguments means it creates a new variable.
