The intent was that glpixels, glpixelsx, and glqpixels NOT work in a print event (that is with a printer device context). They give domain error in Jwdp but due to an oversight sort of work in Jwdw. They will give domain error in the next beta.

The main problem is that pixels on printers are not necessarilly rectangular and this means the pixel map will look small and stretched compared to how it would look on hte screen. That is why everything else works in twips for a printer context. For the pixel family to be usefull on the printer extra work would be needed to stretch and scale and that is beyond the scope of this release.

Subject: [Jbeta] x y w h in glpixels family


glpixels x y w h pixeldata ;

I think the documentation for glpixels should mention that x y are in logical unit (pixel or twips), but w h are always in pixels. Simiarly for glqpixels and
glpixelsx.
