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... ?
Obviously... I don't see how you could think this would be simple to
implement well...
Right, I've realized that you don't understand that, without commenting
that further...
and with what is farther below in mind let me just add this:
I think that what is needed is
a) cropping out the portions to print, handling them as a set of images
to print - no other processing.
b) add the special border at correct points, allow entry of ONE value
for the width.
c) display ONE number extra: Telling how far away from the image one
30th of a degree covers the size of one pixel
(corresponding to
https://www.google.se/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=Circle+of+confusion)
... and:
a) is required for printing multiple images in one go, even without this
option - I hope you plan for that?
b is extra
c) would be useful for any printing.
Is that much?
Now, you don't HAVE to answer that... you have made your point.
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.
The problem is that it still would look amateurishly. If you want
that, that's fine, but we're not going to waste time on that.
Dismissing items as "amateurish" without really checking it up?
Thanks for the confidence.
No further debate required on this topic.
Now, that is your free choice - I can't force you to do things you don't
want.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Pascal de Bruijn
