XPRINT GET MIX statement

Purpose

Retrieve the color mix mode for a host printer page.

Syntax

XPRINT GET MIX To MixVar&

Function Form:

MixVar& = XPRINT(MIX)

Remarks

Prior to any XPRINT operations, a host printer must first be selected with XPRINT ATTACH. There are 16 mix modes available to use for mixing the drawing color with the color that already exists at the drawing location. The mix mode equates are predefined in PowerBASIC. If executed without a host printer attached, error 57 is generated.
