How do I turn a TIOS picture into an appvar so I can use it in axe programs without having to have it on my calc every time I want to compile? In a related question, how would I use it in my program. Appvars are one of the few things I haven't tried in Axe.

[Pic1]->A
GetCalc("appvSOMETHNG",768)->B
Copy(A,B,768

That would be a one-time thing to put the pic into the appvar, correct? And how would I then access it from archive?

and then to use in program (recall):
:GetCalc("appvSOMTHING",Y0) //gets the appvar
:Copy(Y0,L6,768) //copies into buffer (graph screen)

EDIT: ninja'd!!!!!

:GetCalc("appvSOMETHING",Y0) //gets the appvar

Parser, your code doesn't work because SOMETHING is 9 letters

parser's works for archived variables, not yeong's.

That's the difference.

Y0–Y9 store the flash page as well as the memory address, so you need it for archived stuff.

Ah, thank you for clearing that up. This will be really helpful.

Shame on both of you for not including a check that the variable is successfully found.

Code: [Select]

!If GetCalc("appvPIC",Y₀)
  .Handle error
End
Copy(Y₀,L₆,768)


that's not what he asked.
