PICT

Command

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description:

PICT Command: Puts the name PICT on the stack.

 

 

 

 

PICT is the name of a storage location in calculator memory containing the current graphics object. The command PICT enables access to the contents of that memory location as if it were a variable. Note, however, that PICT is not a variable as defined in the calculator: its name cannot be quoted, and only graphics objects may be stored in it.

If a graphics object smaller than 131 wide × 80 pixels high is stored in PICT, it is enlarged to 131

×80. (These values are 131 x 64 on the HP 48gII). A graphics object of unlimited pixel height and up to 2048 pixels wide can be stored in PICT.

Access:

!° L[PICT] PICT

( °is the left-shift of the Nkey).

PINIT

Command

 

 

Type:

 

 

Description:

Port Initialize Command: Initializes all currently active ports. It may affect data already stored in a

 

port.

 

 

 

PINIT is particularly useful when a third-party library has corrupted memory. It stores and then

 

purges an object in each internal port. This has the effect of initializing each port without

 

disturbing any previous-stored data, while removing any invalid objects.

 

Access:

…µPINIT
