Printing A Graph<br />

Every computer has a different way to print its screen on a printer. Usually you must<br />

press some combination of keys on <strong>the</strong> keyboard, and <strong>the</strong> computer <strong>the</strong>n takes a snapshot<br />

of <strong>the</strong> screen onto <strong>the</strong> printer. See your <strong>True</strong> <strong>BASIC</strong> User’s Guide to find out how<br />

to do this on your computer.<br />

You can also take a snapshot from within a program. Just add library “prtlib” to your<br />

program. Then call PrtSc whenever you want to print <strong>the</strong> screen image.<br />

x NOTE: Many computers require some kind of special preparation<br />

before you can print a picture on your printer.<br />
