                                Design Notes for the Print Module
                                =================================


    For *the future*:

    Support for printing ONE image larger than one sheet of paper, in
    the meaning that
    1) DT picks out crops of a single image (preferably resided by user)
    2) Adds inter-sheet overlap-borders (for glue or tape; either
    top/bottom and either side)
    3) Prints each crop on one sheet (as supported by the printer).

    NOTE: The choice of which side to have the inter-sheet overlap has
    to be decided with the
    display position in mind. The overlapping parts of paper will show
    a shadow unless facing the light.


To be honest, this would add significant complexity (both in code and user interface) for a fairly extreme cornercase.


Does it really NEED to be that complex...  ?

And in general this sounds like a really poor way to get large prints. The best way to get large prints is too have it printed on larger paper :)


Sorry to disagree, just scale it up to an A2 printer.
You would be printing huge in no time.
If you want nice prints at home (e.g. an A4 inkjet photo printer), the difference to an A2 isn't that much.

So I'd be very much against this. We really shouldn't try to be someone's scrapbooking application...

I'm not sure what you man by that.

Here is another use for it https://www.google.se/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=triptych
... but with the ability to expand on the concept.
