There is no difference between printing a rotated clip in portrait or a non-rotated clip in landscape. A printer does the same thing when it prints an image in landscape. Technically, I'm telling the printer to print in landscape mode even when it's not set to print in landscape mode. My script results in an identical print regardless of what the user sets the printer to, so I think I'm right in saying that you can force a printer to print in landscape.
Also, my script doesn't rotate the clip if the printer is set to print in landscape. "You have to rotate the clip" is only part of the story. The PrintJob class has inconsistencies in its internal math, which is why I had to set realW, realH, orgX and orgY and do different calculations at different points in the script. I wrote that code with much trial and error (and no wasted paper thanks to Microsoft image documents). > Um - unless I'm missing something - the code you link to is > just rotating the image to be printed to make it landscape > (if the printer settings aren't already set to landscape). > You can't actually set the printer settings to landscape > programmatically, you have to rotate the clip in question. > > Which is, I think, what I said. > > Ian _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
