8.35 Color print (27.5.02)

Can I print in colors?

For example, print INVALID MAGNITUDE OF THE REAL PART in red?

Some printers don’t "see" maple graphics. You can print in color by installing a different driver for the printer. For instance, if you have a Hp 1220 DeskJet you can load the driver for the 850 DeskJet series and the Hp 1220 will now print the color graphics.

By "print" I assume you mean you want this message to appear in the worksheet in red rather than the usual blue. You set the fonts (including colours) for various things using "Styles..." in the Format menu.

Something like "INVALID MAGNITUDE OF THE REAL PART" looks like an error message, so I’d change the colour for the "Error" style from the default (magenta on my system) to red. Then print this message with an "error" statement:

> error "INVALID MAGNITUDE OF THE REAL PART";

Error, INVALID MAGNITUDE OF THE REAL PART

Setting the colours can’t be done under program control AFAIK, it must be done from the menu.
