Off hand, I do not know if Robolab has an enlargement option for the
icons, or if the RIS software has a program print feature.
However, the following work-arounds could be used...
For "enlarging" the Robolab icons:
...set your screen resolution LOWER (i.e. - from 1024x768 down to
800x600 or 640x480). A lower resolution makes larger pixels. The
drawback here is that you may end up having to scroll around the screen.
- or -
... Take advantage of the "Accessibility" features of Windows (Windows
95 and higher). One of the features is a magnification tool that turns
the mouse into a magnifying glass. This can be used with higher
resolutions and works pretty well. The drawback is that it only
magnifies a small area of the screen at a time.
As for "printing" programs, press the "PrtSc" key (Print Screen) and
paste (CTRL-V) the captured screen into a paint program (such as Windows
Paint in Start > Programs > Accessories). ALT-PrtSc will only capture
the active window. PrtSc will capture the entire screen. MS Paint
isn't a very good image editor program, so "stitching" images together
is a pain. I use Paint Shop Pro. I capture each section of the screen
I want and paste each as a new image (and save each one). Then, I
create a new image large enough I can paste the sections on top of each
other.
Hope that helps!

Subject: Zooming in robolab, printing in RCX
Is there any way to zoom into the icons in robolab, they are a bit tiny
and I wanted to know if I could make them look bigger so its easier to
see.
Also does the RCX Code (or RIS program that comes with the mindstorms
kit) have the capability to print out the code?
