Re: Hires Graphics trouble

I found this tidbit to load dhr:

5 REM This requires a 128K machine!  It will CRASH an original II or
II+!
10 D$ = CHR$ (4)
20  POKE 768,56: POKE 769,76: POKE 770,17: POKE 771,195: REM SEC; JMP
$C311
30  PRINT D$"PR#3": PRINT  CHR$ (12): REM DHR requires 80 cols
40  PRINT D$"BLOAD PIC,T8,A8192,L8192": REM Load aux bank half
50  POKE 60,0: POKE 61,32: POKE 62,255: POKE 63,63: POKE 66,0: POKE
67,32:
    REM Set up for auxmove
60  CALL 768: REM Move data to aux bank
70  PRINT D$"BLOAD PIC,T8,A8192,L8192,B8192": REM Load main bank half
80  POKE 49246,0: POKE 49239,0: POKE 49234,0: POKE 49232,0: REM Show
it!

Turns out that the main problem was my confusion as to what programs
produce what format. Dazzle Draw produces dhr files, so would require
the above to load from Applesoft, whereas Mousepaint creates hires
files that can be BLOADED without all that hocus pocus.
Now I'm wondering if there are any other 'good' graphics programs for
the IIe. Any suggestions?
