Details |
Each capability in the table corresponds to a bit in the value of the DEVOPTS device parameter. For example, if your device can generate hardware pie fills, the second bit in the first byte of the DEVOPTS string should be turned on if you want the driver to use that capability. If your device is capable of generating only hardware circles and pie fills, specify a value of 'C000000000000000'X as your DEVOPTS value (the first byte is '1100' so the first 2 bits of the first byte are set to 1). Many of the hardware capabilities specified in the DEVOPTS string are overridden by graphics options or other device parameters.
