Is there a comfortable way the print scripts?

2009-08-01 Thread Reinhold Venzl-Schubert

Hi!

I like the study my script comfortable in the arm chair.
When I print it directly with Rev, I need a lot of paper.
Therefore I copy it into a texteditor and print it with two columns on  
a sheet.


Is there any economical way in Rev?

Thanks
Reinhold

You could write a script to print it in columns, but  wouldn't
your code wrap in the columns?  Seems like that would be harder to
read.

My advice:
Get a bigger screen and don't print it out at all!   save a tree.


Sometimes I print out a few lines I need to notate but I think most of
us try to keep the paper waste down if possible.

sorry if this sounds arrogant.

You can create a printing template stack that will do it, though it will 
take some work. Put two fields on the template card, one for each of the 
columns. Put your script text into both of the column fields, then use 
the pageHeights function (for either field, they will be the same) to 
find out how many pages it will take. Your actual printout will take 
half as many pages, since you will move every other page to the second 
column.


Once you know the pageheights, write a loop that sets the scroll of the 
first field to the first line of the pageheights, and sets the scroll of 
the second field to the second line of the pageheights. Print the card. 
Then repeat, setting the first field's scroll to the third line of the 
pageheights and the second field's scroll to the fourth line. Continue 
doing that until all the text is printed.


There is more info on printing scrolling fields in the User Guide on 
page 306: 9.8.3 Working with Scrolling Fields when Layout Printing.
