AW: how to print only a part of a card?
Hi Paul, yes I tested on Win 10 and it's the same result with LC 6 to 9. Can anybody confirm this behavior on windows before I file a bug? Actually I can't believe it's a bug since LC 6 Thanks Tiemo -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] Im Auftrag von Paul Hibbert via use-livecode Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

Tiemo, There’s nothing wrong with your logic, this all works fine on a Mac, LC8.1.4 (rc1), but from an earlier post I gather you are on Win 10 so this looks like there's a bug in the works, maybe a Linux user could test also. Have you tried any other versions of LC? HTH Paul > On 12 Apr 2017, at 06:40, Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hello, > > probably I don't see the obvious or my math is slightly rusty.

how to print only a part of a card?
Hello, probably I don't see the obvious or my math is slightly rusty. I am trying to print only a section of a card, e.g. a rectangle, but I always only get a (left and bottom) clipped rectangle being printed. Only when printing the whole card I get the full rectangle. I am running out of paper from my multiple tests :) Here is what I tried: on mouseUp # create a stack, size: 348,527 # create a button with this script # create a rectangle, size: 297,421 -- set the printpapersize to 595,842 # optional test # A4 -- set the printmargins to 40,57,40,57 # optional test -- set the printscale to .5 # optional test open printing with dialog if the result is not "cancel" then put the left of grc "rectangle" into item 1 of tLeftTop put the top of grc "rectangle" into item 2 of tLeftTop put the right of grc "rectangle" into item 1 of tRightBottom put the bottom of grc "rectangle" into item 2 of tRightBottom print this card from tLeftTop to tRightBottom -- print this card from tLeftTop to tRightBottom into 149,210,635, # optional test -- print this card from tLeftTop to tRightBottom into 40,57,337,478 # optional test # margins+ rectangle -- print this card # this is for me the only chance to get the whole rectangle printed end if close printing end mouseUp Does anybody see the error in my logic?
