Turing printing fuzzy images

[Nathan4102]

I'm trying to print something straight off Turing, but it turns out looking awful. The image has roughly 1 inch margins on the left, top, and right, and then 2 or 3 inches on the bottom. Also, the text that's printed is very fuzzy. The text is drawn via various GUI functions and Font.Draw, and my screen size is 600 x 770,which is almost 1:1 to 8.5 x 11. Any ways I can fix this?
Thanks!

EDIT: Also is there a way to convert a boolean to a string, and vice versa? I'm having a bit of trouble with that at the moment... :p

The margins are probably beyond your help, because that's probably built into Turing. The fuzziness is almost certainly because you're printing at ~ 70 dots-per-inch (dpi). Clear-looking printing requires around 300 dpi and photo-quality starts around 600 dpi (very roughly).

Turing is definitely NOT the tool to use for publishing.

:/ I'll have to play around with this and try to figure something out then. Thanks

Also any idea about my Editted question? Something like:

Turing:

var x : boolean := false var y : string y := "This is " + x %Gives error

In response to your second question, there is no method defined in truing to convert stings to booleans and vise versa. The easiest way would defiantly be a simple if else statement.

However, just because, there is technically a way to convert a boolean to a integer using type cheats. This essentially reinterprets the raw bits that make up a value. It it used in this fashion:

Turing:

var x : boolean := false var y : int := 0 cheat (boolean, y) := x put y

Note that the raw boolean value (one bit) is imposed on the existing value so a default value of 0 is required for y.

Also note that doing it this way is completely pointless and I don't recommend it. Just posting to expand your Turing knowledge

Or...

Turing:

fcn boolstr ( boolean b ) : string     if b then         result "true"     else         result "false"     end if end boolstr %... var y : string := "This is " + boolstr(x)

That follows a similar format to the intstr() function that comes with Turing.
