Read a pixel state?

Post by keithdalby »

Again, I imagine someone will want to at me, 'RTFM', but...

I cannot see a command to read a pixel's state. Besides writing to a 400x240 matrix at the same time as switching pixels on individually, I cannot see how to read a pixel's state. Is there such a command? If not, a matrix of pixel data is the only way I can think of to do what I want to do next (send an image from the screen to the printer in GrMod 2 rotated 90°, which I reckon should work, I just need to get hold of a printer).

Does the rclpixel command exist?

Certainly not since it consists of 8 letters. 8-)
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041

I didn't mean literally that name of a command, but I suspect you knew that and chose to be facetious :)

The more I look for a command to do what I want (read a pixel's state), the more convinced I am that such a command doesn't exist.
