print

Prints the buffer.

• (send a-wx:media-buffer print filename interactive? fit-on-page? output-mode) -> void
      filename = null : string or null
      interactive? = #t : boolean
      fit-on-page? = #t : boolean
      output-mode = 0 : small integer

  If filename is null and the print mode is to a PostScript file, a filename will be obtained from the user. If interactive? is #f, a PostScript file is created; otherwise, the user will be given a dialog for adjusting printing parameters (allowing the user to print to a PostScript file or to a platform-specific destination).

  If fit-on-page? is a true value, then during printing for a wx:media-edit% buffer, the buffer's maximum width is set to the width of the page (less margins) and the autowrapping bitmap is removed.

  The output-mode setting is used for Windows and MacOS. It determines whether the output is generated directly as a PostScript file (using MrEd's built-in PostScript system) or generated using the platform-specific standard printing mechanism. The possible values as

  • wx:const-print-standard -- always print using the standard mechanism
  • wx:const-print-postscript -- always print to a PostScript file
  • wx:const-print-ask -- ask the user with an interactive dialog

  Printing margins are determined by wx:get-media-print-margin. When a buffer is printed to a PostScript file, PostScript parameters are determined via the functions in Printer.

  For properly spaced text, be sure the AFM directory is correct. This directory is set using wx:set-afm-path.

  
  

• (send a-wx:media-buffer print dc) -> void
      dc : wx:dc% object

  Prints the buffer into the given drawing context.
