Export snapshot from rect uses the device's display output to
render the image, but if you use Export snapshot of an object
(stack, card, group etc.), then the LC engine renders the image,
so you can take a snapshot of a stack that is off-screen this
way. I hope that makes sense!
Thank you.
My problem is that I am using a custom external that places
content generated by the external in to the stack window (via the
windowID of the stack that I pass to the external). If I do export
snapshot of stack xxx, the content placed in the stack window by
the external is not recognized and included in the resulting
image.
We may have to have the external modified to return an optional
image that we can place on a stack for printing.
That does sound like a more complex problem. Modifying the external
sounds like the best option, unless anybody else has any tricks.
I wonder if it would be possible to pass the window ID of a hidden stack?
