Re: [Laszlo-user] View/clip size mismatch and printing

Hello Nick,

Well we tried to scale the stuff just making it 2 times less than required to ensure - it still does not work properly! I will try to make a small test and post a bug I guess.

Hi Michael,

Another stab in the dark for you - try using job.paperWidth and job.paperHeight instead of job.pageWidth/job.pageHeight in your getPrintScale method to see if it makes any difference. pageHeight returns the printable height, which will be less than the paperHeight, which returns the actual height of the page.

Hello graphis1,

This is the exact code fragment which prints out the view. Note the

'printScale' method that does exactly what you are describing... the

problem is that is does not help :( because we're printing the MC, not

view, and MC is _always_ of different size than view no matter how you

scale any of them.

<method name="addPage" args="theView"><![CDATA[

var scale = getPrintScale(theView);

var mc = theView.getMCRef();

var width = theView.width;

var height = theView.height;

var x = mc._x;

var y = mc._y;

var xs = mc._xscale;

var ys = mc._yscale;

mc._x = 0;

mc._y = 0;

mc._xscale = mc._xscale * scale;

mc._yscale = mc._yscale * scale;

this.job.addPage(mc, {xMin: 0, yMin: 0, xMax:theView.width, yMax: theView.height}, null};

mc._xscale = xs;

mc._yscale = ys;

mc._x = x;

mc._y = y;

]]></method>

<method name="getPrintScale" args="theView, wide, tall"><![CDATA[

var xscale = job.pageWidth * wide / theView.width;

var yscale = job.pageHeight * tall / theView.height;

return xscale < yscale ? xscale : yscale;

]]></method>

We scale the view beforehand according to the pagesize and when we

print, it works fine except for the page being cropped in the bottom

for some reason.

gmc> Could you scale the view proportionally dependent upon the height and not the width?

gmc> i.e.

gmc> 1) Scale the y value of the view to match the y value of the pagesize.

gmc> 2) Resize the x value using the same rescale proportion as above.

gmc> The would result in a view that's rescaled to fit the page

gmc> instead of one that's cropped to fit the page.
