Re: [Iup-users] [Canvasdraw-users] cd.PRINTER canvas
Yes, but as I said, it depends on the application. Some applications define the size of the text and then the lines must align to it. If yours the text must align to the lines, then yes, you should use font sizes in pixels. To use font sizes in pixel you can specify negative values in cd.CanvasFont. To manually convert points to pixels you can use canvas:MM2Pixel(mm_dx, mm_dy) I tested this, on your sample and returns ok: print(cdbCanvas:MM2Pixel(12/cd.MM2PT, 12/cd.MM2PT )) 32.0 32.0 Best, Scuri Em ter., 24 de mar. de 2020 às 20:49, Milind Gupta escreveu: > Yes this one does not have scaling because I was just doing an example to > check proportionality. > > So what I understand is to be consistent across different canvases where > pixels/mm are different I should internally store the size of text I > display in pixels?

So the issue is if I scale the drawing and the text proportionally to fir the number of pixels the text gets much more larger. To understand that if you just run the script and see how it looks on the screen compared to on the printer you can see that the scaling of the text and the graphics is not proportional. The text ends up much larger in printer than on the screen. On Tue, Mar 24, 2020 at 12:29 PM Antonio Scuri wrote: > Hi, > > That's expected.

Re: [Iup-users] [Canvasdraw-users] cd.PRINTER canvas
Yes this one does not have scaling because I was just doing an example to check proportionality. So what I understand is to be consistent across different canvases where pixels/mm are different I should internally store the size of text I display in pixels? That way when I implement scaling it would be on pixels and remain consistent. But when I tried to convert the pt size to pixels I am not having good results. For example to convert 12 pts to pixels I did this: cd.MM2Pixel(12/cd.MM2PT, 12/cd.MM2PT ) But this returns 0. How do I translate this?

Re: [Iup-users] [Canvasdraw-users] cd.PRINTER canvas
Hi, That sample has no scaling. I least I couldn't find any. I run it and print it. Yes the text looks larger because it is using the default font which is specified in points, not in pixels.

For example the screen shows the graphic as: [image: image.png] While the printout shows it like: [image: image.png] The text gets totally out of proportion to the rest of the drawing compared to the screen for the same size.

Re: [Iup-users] [Canvasdraw-users] cd.PRINTER canvas
Actually the problem is the scaling is not the same on the screen compared to the printer. So the issue is if I scale the drawing and the text proportionally to fir the number of pixels the text gets much more larger. To understand that if you just run the script and see how it looks on the screen compared to on the printer you can see that the scaling of the text and the graphics is not proportional. The text ends up much larger in printer than on the screen. On Tue, Mar 24, 2020 at 12:29 PM Antonio Scuri wrote: > Hi, > > That's expected.
