* $FUNCNAME$
* DEVOUTPICT
* $CATEGORY$
* Terminal
* $ONELINER$
* Outputs the result of any expression using a picture transformation
* $SYNTAX$
* DEVOUTPICT(<xExp>,<cPicture>[,<cColorString>]) --> NIL
* $ARGUMENTS$
* <xExp> is any valid expression.
* <cPicture> is any picture transformation that TRANSFORM() can use.
* <cColorString> is an optional string that specifies a screen color to
* use in place of the default color when the output goes to the screen.
* $RETURNS$
* NIL
* $DESCRIPTION$
* Outputs any expression using a picture transformation instead of using
* the default transformation for the type of expression.
* $EXAMPLES$
* // Output a negative dollar amount using debit notation.
* DEVOUTPICT( -1.25, "@D$ 99,999.99 )
* $TESTS$
* @ 3,1 SAY -1.25 PICTURE "@D$ 99,999.99"
* will display "$( 1.25)" starting on row four, column two of the
* current device (without the double quotation marks, of course).
* $STATUS$
* C
* $COMPLIANCE$
* DEVOUTPICT() is mostly CA-Clipper compliant. Any differences are due
* to enhancements in the Harbour TRANSFORM() over CA-Clipper.
* $SEEALSO$
* DEVOUT(), TRANSFORM().
* $END$
