Re: Capturing screen into image

Terry, If your concern is that the area of the card doesn’t print exactly as you see it on screen, it looks to me like the printMargins are set at the default 72 all round. Try setting the printMargins to 0 set the printMargins to "0,0,0,0" Paul Paul p...@livecode.org Mac OS Sierra

Re: Capturing screen into image

@Terry. Because we make a snapshot this is independent of the browser's content. So at least for isolating the problem you will find below a variant that 'snapshots' directly to a file in your stack's folder. Then the file is opened with preview via applescript. Here I get exactly what I want.

Re: Capturing screen into image

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion but I am afraid it’s not working here: I have prepared a short movie on dropbox so you can see what happens when I print it and then open as PDF in MacOS Preview. Not sure at all what is going wrong. Could it be something to do with the scaling in the amCharts

Re: Google Static Maps Problem

Hermann, I'll definitely share a demo. Re a LC Global talk, I'm unable to commit full day slots this summer, so sorry for that. I'm hoping I can get some of the new techniques and info from future docs and discussions and, except for this Google maps issue, I'm on top of my project. Thanks

Re: Google Static Maps Problem

@Bill. No thank for that. I started to work with javascript in November 2016 when the HTML5 standalone builder introduced "do as javascript". It was now a good exercise because your javascript source is by an expert, written very clear and clean. Please show us your final product (doesn't matter

Re: Google Static Maps Problem

Hermann: This is looking really good! I will be doing more testing as I integrate it into my project, but at this stage, it is behaving as expected. Thanks so much. Hoping I can repay you in some way. Let me know. Best, Bill P > On Jun 30, 2017, at 8:58 PM, prothero--- via use-livecode >

Re: PrintPaperRectangle

Sorry about that, I should have realised (must be slow on the uptake today) but…. I still get the grey area when I print the card. Do you have any insight into why this should happen? (see thread “Capturing screen into image”)? Thanks Terry > On 1 Jul 2017, at 14:02, Paul Dupuis via

Thanks for your explanation. It does seem logical. But where does 587 come from in 8,8,834,587 ? A4 is 553. Thanks Terry > On 30 Jun 2017, at 20:56, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Almost no toner based printer can do this. It's called Full
