Re: PDF widget print quality

2024-02-21 Thread Paul Dupuis via use-livecode
I'm not sure it is possible. Livecode's printing tends to be card based 
and at card resolution, typically 72 dpi.


I recall seeing some efforts on the lists and forums to make an object 4 
times bigger (75 dpi x 4 = 300 dpi) so that when it is printed to a 
300dpi printer is is a higher resolution but normal size but I don't 
recall how successful any of those efforts were.


There is probably an ancient enhancement  request in the Livecode 
Quality Center to support higher-resolution printing.

on p1

get the pageRect of widget 1

open printing with dialog

print card from (item 1 to 2 of it) to (item 3 to 4 of it) into it

close printing

end p1


This prints a full page at the proper size, but not with acceptable print 
quality; everything is slightly blurred and pixellated.  How can I get a good 
quality printout?
