Printing Field Borders
Hi I am having the same problem as described in the thread below (from the archives 12th May 2005) However I can't find the solution. In my case printing bordered fields on Windows loses the left border. I have posted a simple example in the user spaces, Programming/ Printing Test On the Mac the fields appear to print much thicker than 1 pixel. Any suggestions much appreciated Steve Flavel ... the May thread Also, I have found by setting the *field* margins (not the printmargin) to a *higher number* fixes most all text truncation issues. Please try it. -Chipp J. Landman Gay wrote: On 5/12/05 2:19 AM, Timothy Due wrote: Anyway, one problem I have been having is getting field borders to print properly.

It sounds like the printmargins are set so that they are cutting off too much of the top and left sides of the page. If it is only the fields at the top left of the page that do this, then the margins are probably the problem. Try setting a smaller printmargin (or setting it to 0, as a test) or else move your fields slightly closer to toward the center of the card and see what happens. If a field in the dead center of the card prints without part of its border, then there is something else wrong. Let us know if that happens and we'll brainstorm. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I passed this question to Dan Friedman, a powerhouse Rev developer -- here's his reply: -- Yeah, this is the same problem I had. I never was able to fix it, so I just got around it. I ended up turning off the border of the field and putting a graphic rectangle around the field. Rev prints the graphic's border ok, but not the field's border. This work-around adds some extra overhead to the stack (in my case LOTS of extra controls), but it did solve the problem. - Hope that helps -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ___ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Thanks Richard I have done a similar work around as yours for one group of fields, but as my example shows, even lines and boxes are printed incorrectly from Windows. This is a pain as I have lots of bordered fields.

Printing Field Borders
Hi Everyone. I'm new to Rev. I have been evaluating Rev for the last couple of weeks and have mostly found it a joy to use. It brings back happy memories of using Hypercard quite some years ago. Anyway, one problem I have been having is getting field borders to print properly. I have read in these archives that when field borders are butted-up together that can cause problems, but I am even having problems in cases where the fields are not touching or near any other object. I have tried on 2 differrent systems (Win XP and 98) using 2 different printers, with inconsistent and unexpected results. Commonly, the left and top border does not print. Is this a bug in Rev? If so, is there any plan to have it fixed? Alternatively, is there a viable workaround? Many thanks, Timothy Due ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I had to increase the size of the print rect by 1 pixel on one side: get topleft of grc Plot Back subtract 1 from item 1 of it print card 1 from it to bottomRight of grc Plot Back into 125,100,625,450 Dennis ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
