Hello,

I have another question about the plotter. At the moment i can "draw" on the plotter screen with the virtual joystick.

My question is this: I would like to zoom in and out on the drawings i make on the plotterscreen. The problem is that as soon as i try to zoom in or out by altering the plotterrange the drawing is gone. Somebody helped me on this and said that as soon as you alter the range the plotter is reset. Is there a way around this?

There is no some zoom function, because there is nothing to zoom at all.
The component is bitmap based. (see manual) Measured values are not store, but directly drawn to the "paper" from point to point. Like a "real" pen plotter.

Thanks for your reply , siteadmin.

Maybe then the only way is to store the values(record them) when i am drawing and " feed" them back to the plotter later, using some "maths" on them, as somebody suggested to me.

I know i am most likely using the plotter component in a different way than it is ment to be used, but i like experimenting to see what is possible with a component.
