I don't understand 1.

As far as 2. goes, you could try the PSPLOT routines (http://www.nova.edu/ocean/psplot/) OR use Clearwin+ graphics output to a PostScript printer driver, then use Adobe Acrobat. (There are PDF printer drivers that don't need Acrobat - I found 10, including some free ones - on the web).

OR write any sort of graphics file that you can import into MS Word, then save as a PDF (free!).

For item 1 you could try %rd[radix=16]. The control can be made read-only if you wish %`rd[radix=16].

Paul, It's an image not a value, so it must be a series of bytes, and images are written like that anyway.

If you want to read the data in an image in hexadecimal it isn't a function of how you write it, it's a function of how you read it - you need an editor that displays hex. It's so long ago that I used one I even forgot what it was called, let alone how to use it!

I'll start by saying I've got no idea if this will work since I'm not a clearwin person, but if I wanted to write something to a file in hex format, I'd use the Z format descriptor which writes integers as hex.

Could you give us some more information about your application and the purpose of dumping bitmap as hex?

If you just need to extract some specific bitmap information, then getting the data directly from the WIN32 BITMAP structures is probably the preferred approach.

If you want to create a straight hex dump of the bitmap file, then brucebowler's earlier suggestion is probably the way to go.

Plato can display files in binary form. Just click Open on the File menu and use the appropriate check box.
