Lasergraphics Language A powerful graphics language that is common in the mainframe and minicomputer environments.

Lasergraphics Film Calibration file A file that provides calibration data of a film type for a specific LFR model. Therefore, the LFC file of 35mm Vericolor for LFR Mark III is different from the one for LFR Mark III - Digital Photography Model.

LFC file See Lasergraphics Film Calibration file.

LFR Lasergraphics Film Recorder. Refers to a family of film recorders including the LFR, LFR PLUS, Personal LFR, Personal LFR PLUS, LFR-X, LFR Mark II and LFR Mark III, and the Digital Photography Models Mark II DPM, Mark III DPM, Mark V DPM and Mark VI DPM.

LLAn abbreviation for Lasergraphics Language.

object A type of graphic composed of graphic primitives (e.g. circles, lines, polygons, etc.). The graphic primitives are represented by their mathematical coordinates. Objects reproduce well at high- resolution.

output To create an image on a film recorder.

pixel An acronym for picture element. A pixel is a single dot on your monitor or output device.

portrait An output orientation where the height is greater than the width. Also known as vertical or tall format. Compare to landscape.

printer driver Software that knows how to communicate with a printer device.

queue A directory on your hard disk for storing temporary Windows BLL Generator print job files.

Rascol Refers to a family of high speed Lasergraphics image processors. Instead of burdening the PC, WinRascol lets the Rascol perform the time- and memory-consuming task of rasterization. This way you can continue to do work on your PC while the Rascol is busy rasterizing. The Rascols also control the Lasergraphics film recorders. These days PCs have become so fast that they usually rasterizer faster than Rascol devices.

Rascol II A Rascol model that plugs into your PC and acts as a fully independent co-processor that performs rasterization and controls the film recorder.

Rascol IV A Rascol model that plugs into your PS/2 and acts as a fully independent co-processor that performs rasterization and controls the film recorder.

RascolPort A high performance communication port for connecting to RISCRascol and Internal Rascol. It can emulate the standard bi-directional parallel (LPT) port to work with most third party printers.

raster See bitmap.

rasterization A time- and memory- consuming process for converting graphics objects into rasters for output.

resolution The total number of dots in an image. Film recorder resolutions measured in lines represents the number of dots across the image.
