Graphics programs

The LQ is capable of producing finely detailed graphic images. A
later section of this chapter gives specific information on the
graphics commands, but the easiest way to take advantage of the
LQ's capabilities is with one of the many graphics programs
available.
When buying graphics software, always make sure it has a
suitable option to allow printouts on an LQ printer. Any program
with an option for an LQ printer should give excellent results.
Most graphics programs have a printer selection procedure. Check
the lists on page 4-2 to find the proper selection.
