Note that if Mike gets the Win32 HID working, it will support Win32-based printing. OTOH it would be nice to separate out the rendering layer if it means 3D-based rendering for Lesstif as well as GTK. If we could create a cairo module, for example, which the various HIDs can point at a window...

gEDA-user: pcb printing

2009-03-01 Thread Dan McMahill
I've been asked about pcb printing under win32 which we don't directly support. I'm wondering if the following makes any sense or not. I'm not actually that likely to get to work on on this much but wanted to toss out the ideas in case anyone felt inspired. GTK provides a printing API. The q

Is there any way to get the PS output of pcb moved off-center on the page? I'm using toner transfer; my printer has much better density down one side of the paper than the other and I'd like to position the board appropriately. Cheers Gareth ___ geda

I've been watching this thread for a few days. Today it occurred to me that the --with-x flag is likely autogenerated by automake/autoconf, and is therefore just an obsolete artifact. Most gEDA projects use the autotools to create "configure" from configure.ac. Very few people now write their ow
