Hi!

I am trying to add support for high quality printing of images in RichView.

Is this some how implemented if so where? The ideal solution would be to use

the image properties used in richviewActions. I tought this info was used

when printing images (it is not?). This is how I thougt it worked:

- In rvActionsDemo -

I load a rather large image in richview sets the stretch properties to 33%

width and 33% height.

Then when printing I tought richview would stretch the original image to

it's printing area not the smaller image used for screen view. Why is it

so... I do not see any difficults in using orginal image to print.

Well if it is so I will have to come up with another solution...

Okay. This is what I would like. An event for printing images like the one

for printing components. Because if I create a new image component for

this - it can not be exported to RTF etc...

So basicly I need an image printing event telling me the settings of view,

the image to print an a bitmap to print it on. This would be nice to

include on scren display as well. An image paint event but a boolean so we

would know if it was a screen rendering or a printer rendering. This way we

could use a faster filter for screen rendering and higer qualiti filter for

printer rendering.

Okay to sum it. One new event.

OnRenderImage(screen: boolean; image, ToImage: tBitmap; width, height:

integer);

Witdth and height settings are properties settings in pixel.

This would make it possible for me to render the image in the qualities I

want. Anyone got any better ideas?

I'm listining.
