Re: Help with canvas to printer

Brad,
 Ok, I am using a 2D graphic and rotating it first in the canvas (if that 
matters). Then I have a method called DrawMyCanvas, g As Graphics, and with 
g.DrawObject d,67,60 in the code window.
This matches up with my paint event of my canvas that has :
g.DrawObject d,67,60 in it. This serves as the rotaion point of the image so 
it rotates in its center. In my Print buttons activate event (among setup 
stuff) I have: DrawMyCanvas(g) and from there I can't seem to control the 
placement of the image on the printout as I can with text etc...
Make any sense?
Dave
