I have tried printing a page that I have set up following the example in that comes with Xojo, using the Picture class. The type prints looking very bitmapped. What is the best way to overcome this. Ideally I would like to use Object2D, which is, apparently, vector graphics. I have used them before and placed them on a canvas but I can’t seem to find an example of how to send them to a printer. Is it possible that by using Object2D the type will come out crisp? It should if it is truly vector graphics.
Draw the Object2D directly to the printer graphics object. Going through a picture will cause problems.
Thanks Tim,
Can I just clarify, in the sample I followed using a canvas picture part of the code was:
Dim p As New Picture(100, 100, 32)
Dim g As Graphics = p.Graphics
So now will it be:
Dim g As Graphics = SomeObject2D
dim g as graphics = OpenPrinterDialog
g.DrawObject(SomeObject2D, 20, 20)
What kind of problems?
If you change the size or resolution, you can get pixelization/jaggies.
