Brad,
Ok, I am using a 2D graphic and rotating it first in the canvas (if that
matters). Then I have a method called DrawMyCanvas, g As Graphics, and with
g.DrawObject d,67,60 in the code window.
This matches up with my paint event of my canvas that has :
g.DrawObject d,67,60 in it. This serves as the rotaion point of the image so
it rotates in its center. In my Print buttons activate event (among setup
stuff) I have: DrawMyCanvas(g) and from there I can't seem to control the
placement of the image on the printout as I can with text etc...
Make any sense?
Dave

I can print text and boxes etc just fine but graphics and canvases are
totally new to me. My example is a feeble attempt at what I scrounged on
the net to make this work and now I am totally confused. Let me know...
Nah, let's do it on the list so that everyone can learn. :)
Let's say we have a window with a canvas. You want to print what's in that
canvas. But you can't, but the canvas forgets what it's drawn as soon as
it's done. So we need to give the window a property, say something like
MyPicture as Picture. Now, wherever you were drawing to the canvas, draw
instead to MyPicture.Graphics. Then in the canvas's paint event, you'd put
g.DrawPicture MyPicture,0,0 (or something like that; this is from memory).
When you're ready to print, you'll get a graphics object from the printer.
In that graphics object, write DrawPicture MyPicture,0,0 (just like for
the canvas).
I'm not sure I explained that very well. Let me know if I just made things
worse. ;)
