Do you know *when* Rev does the truncation? I've had a problem with
certain printing stacks -- loaded up invisible or offscreen with
formatted text fields then printed with "print card from x1,y1 to
x2,y2 into pRect". I would show them to debug & tweak the text
formatting, and then I ran into the problem that the stack height
was clipped at the lower edge of the screen. I took to resizing
them every time just before printing,
A little off your topic, but if you set the stack's
formatForPrinting property Rev won't clip the stack off.
Good to know this, thanks. I thought formatForPrinting only affected
font display, but the last paragraph of the dictionary entry says "If
the stack's formatForPrinting property is true, the setting of the
windowBoundingRect property is ignored when the stack is opened or
maximized." I then wondered if I could set the windowBoundingRect to a
larger size before opening the menustack, but alas, "The value of the
windowBoundingRect does not affect palette, modal, or modeless
windows. Only stacks whose mode property is 1 or 2 are affected." Dead
end, after all.
PROGRAM, tr.v. To engage in a pastime similar to banging one's head
against a wall, but with fewer opportunities for reward. ;-)
(Actually, Rev does offer rewards enough of the time to keep me
banging away....)
