Re: printing graphics in squeak

Hi Ching.

Morphs draw themselves on Canvases - look at the Canvas class. Typically, these would be FormCanvas which draws to the screen. I think there is a Postscript-capable Canvas subclass. I'm not sure what it's called ("PostscriptCanvas"?). Google for Ghostscript for info on how to print postscript files if you don't have a postscript-capable printer (or if you aren't running Linux).

Also try reverse-engineering the print command in the... menus? This will be a good exercise for you. Find the "print" command in a menu somewhere in squeak (probably in a halo menu for a Morph?), and open the halo on the menu itself, select "explore" or "inspect" and poke around to see if you can find where the code for the print command is.

Sorry I can't give you specifics; I don't have squeak available right now.

Michael.

Thanks David, I think I need to look at Morphs a little more closely for what I need to do which is to create some graphics (shapes, etc.) and send them to a printer.

Do you mean charts and graphs? If so, check out PlotMorph.
