Hello, using the FLTK 1.1.7 draw functions, I made a widget with some bars and pies to present several evaluations. Now I wonder how to print it.
I think there are two ways - first printing the widget directly, or second exporting it into a common image format, saving it to disk and printing it out of a html-browser (second way I'm using for evaluation forms - creating html-text and deliver it to a browser, I didn't deal with printing for minimum 10 years ;o). Out of the FLTK.org link section I just viewed Fl_Device and for windows users it only works for FLTK 1.1.4, so it would be necessary to go back to this version for using it. I'm sceptic of beeing this a good idea? Is this the only printing library for FLTK, or are there other ways? Then I looked for possibilities of saving widget contents and only found the hint to use some image libraries to do this out of Fl_Image data, but I'm using a widget. It offers a handle to Windows device context, maybe there is a way to use it for a windows print or image capture? Okay, anyone here with a hint, how to solve this problem - favoured a fast and dirty solution. ;o) If it becames a research project, I need to capitulate before starting, because there are some more urgent things to do, than printing some pretty pictures. But maybe there is an easy solution I overlooked and that wouldn't cost more than one or two days of work?
