So, is there a workaround for this issue? Besides pressing the reset button on the back every time you want to run a program that uses DIMGROB? Do we know if HP is addressing this issue?

Thanks

All you'd need to do was make a stub function that will set G1-G9 to 0 pixels rather then a reset in the meantime.

Yes, we are aware of it and working to resolve.

Thanks for the update Tim. I've updated Racer and Baker's Game to work with 13333 whilst the fix is prepared. I couldn't handle carrying around my Prime with my two favourite programs being broken, however temporarily :-)

FW version 13333 seems to be missing all one-color .jpgs to use in Graph3D as background. I chose one with a grayish tint in the beta 3 version (I forget the exact name). After the update, it was not available any more.

No big deal, but is there a way to still select a light-color .jpg?

No. Those were the files used in the title area and menu bars. However, since it seems like several people liked it we are thinking about being able to select a background color now...

Great, thanks!

Actually, I am dumb.

Just do something like a 1x1 GROB with a color, save it as AFiles("color.png"):=DIMGROB_P(1,1,RGB(255,0,0)) or something like that, and then set your background to stretched. No need to wait. Note that syntax may not be correct... just throwing it out there to refine further.

Will try - - if it is safe to use DIMGROB in this way (no memory corruption?).

Tim Wessman · (This post was last modified: 02-13-2018 05:18 PM by Tim Wessman.)

DIMGROB_P(G1,1,1,RGB(255,0,0)); ImageName:="red.png"; ImageDisplay:=2; AFiles(ImageName):=G1

is a better example. What memory corruption were you thinking about? Might hit the "insufficient memory" problem, but shouldn't be problematic.

Helge Gabert · 02-13-2018, 06:11 PM

OK. As you already guessed, I was only thinking about the insufficient memory problem, for example shown by trying to run the DIMGROB_demo program a second time.

I have some trouble with the connectivity kit : crash when I send an app on the virtual calculator for example Sad

Tim Wessman · 02-21-2018, 08:16 PM

New files are out which addresses the major DIMGROB problem as well as a few others.
