print

Prints the editor.

• (send an-editor print interactive? fit-on-page? output-mode parent) -> void
      interactive? = #t : boolean
      fit-on-page? = #t : boolean
      output-mode = 'standard : symbol in '(standard postscript)
      parent = #f : frame% or dialog% object or #f

  If interactive? is true and a PostScript file is created, the is given a dialog for adjusting printing parameters; see also get-ps-setup-from-user. Otherwise, if a PostScript file is created, the settings returned by current-ps-setup are used. (The user may still get a dialog to select an output file name; see post-script-dc% for more details.

  If fit-on-page? is a true value, then during printing for a text% editor, the editor's maximum width is set to the width of the page (less margins) and the autowrapping bitmap is removed.

  The output-mode setting is used for Windows and MacOS. It determines whether the output is generated directly as a PostScript file (using MrEd's built-in PostScript system) or generated using the platform-specific standard printing mechanism. The possible values as

  • 'standard -- print using the platform-standard mechanism (via a printer-dc%)
  • 'postscript -- print to a PostScript file (via a post-script-dc%)

  If parent is not #f, it is used as the parent window for configuration dialogs (for either PostScript or platform-standard printing). If parent is #f and if the editor is displayed in a single canvas, then the canvas's top-level frame is used as the parent for configuration dialogs. Otherwise, configuration dialogs will have no parent.

  The printing margins are determined by get-editor-margin in the current ps-setup% object (as determined by current-ps-setup).

  For properly spaced text in PostScript output, make sure that the AFM directory is correct in set-afm-path.
