[Newbies] Re: printing graphics in squeak

[alain rastoul]

Hi

If you want to print a morph, get its form (imageForm message) and use the 
primitive primPrintHScale of Form class
primPrintHScale: hScale vScale: vScale landscape: aBoolean
 "On platforms that support it, this primitive prints the receiver, assumed 
to be a Form, to the default printer."
 "(Form extent: 10 at 10) primPrintHScale: 1.0 vScale: 1.0 landscape: true"

exemple:

| cont m length |
cont := Morph new.
cont color: Color lightBlue.
cont layoutPolicy: TableLayout new ;
  listDirection: #topToBottom ; cellPositioning:  #topLeft ;
  hResizing: #shrinkWrap ; vResizing: #shrinkWrap.

#( 'Label A' 'Label B' 'Label C' 'Label D')
do:  [ :label |
 m:= Morph new.
 m layoutPolicy: TableLayout new ;
 listDirection: #leftToRight ; height: 25.
 m cellInset: 4.
 m color: Color random twiceLighter.
 length := m width + 200 atRandom.
 m width: length.
 m addMorphBack: (StringMorph contents: label) .
 m addMorphBack: (StringMorph contents: length asString).
 cont addMorph: m.
].
cont cellInset: 4.
cont openInWorld.
cont imageForm primPrintHScale: 1.0 vScale: 1.0 landscape: true.

"(I think it was  printh: 96.0 v: 96.0 landScape: false. on an older 
version)"


See also the TextPrinter class (sender of primPrintHScale)

hope it helps

Many thanks in advance.
