    Xprint Tabs

    Just started to play with Xprint today and think I am going to love it. Can print each line with a different font (maybe even each letter). Wow! Really WOW! (thanks to Chad D. Wood example in Poffs, after much exasperation trying on my own & using Samples example {sigh})

    However Xprint doesn't seem to recognize $CrLf or $Tab. Is there an Xprint equivalent?

    And secondly, I can't figure out how to change line spacing? Am doing a Word Search program and it would be really great to be able to increase line spacing slightly for the little kids (better letter differentiation) and fluttery pencils.

    Xprint Set Pos ?

    For tabs, expand to spaces ( difference between next tab pos and current xpos) ?

      Yes, what Michael said. If you're using something like Courier New and
      10 point font then play with the following
      XPrint CHR Size to ncWidthChar, ncHeightChar
      XPrint Get Client to ncWidth, ncHeight

      You can either multiply ncHeightChar by 1.5 to get yIncr
      or divide ncHeight by 60 to get yIncr. It depends on how much
      spacing between the lines you want or need. just divide ncHeight
      by yIncr to get your total lines per page.

      then just
      yPos = yPos + yIncr
      XPrint Set POS ( xPos, yPos )
      XPrint "text"
      for each line. Generally setting xPos to 0 prints at the left side of the
      paper. If you need to print columns individually then you can figure
      out the newxPos by multiplying the column you need by ncWidthChar.


      Not bad and so far as I've seen, it produces the same output on different
      Windows printers ( but then that's what it's supposed to do ).

        Thanks, M. I hadn't thought of that.

        Paul, That looks interesting. I'll play with after I get more comfortable with Zprint.

        Again, a great forum.

          Obviously a little more complicated than MCM's answer, though that is part of it.
          For TAB's there are two main types, the first is like the tab in the PB IDE which jumps to the next multiple of characters that you have selected in the tab setting. First you need to determine average width of a character for the current font, this needs an API call to GetTextMetrics (no PB equivelant that I know of) then using XPrint Get Pos and XPrint Set Pos move the print position to the next multiple of the number of characters you have selected for "TAB", of course in proportional fonts this will not normally be an exact number of characters (usually it is the width of the character x) only for fonts like Courier.
          The second type of TAB is like the TabStops that you set on a Word document and just moves the print to the next predifined position in your program. In Word there are 3 types of TabStops, Left Aligned, Right Aligned and Decimal Aligned.
          Left Aligned is obvious, you just move to that position
          Right Aligned a little harder, you first need to determine the width of the text you wish to print at the next TabStop position (Xprint Text Size) and then subtract that from from your TabStop value before using Xprint Set Pos
          Decimal aligned is the hardest but probably the most useful as it allows producing neat columns of numbers even using proportional fonts (I know MCM doesn't believe it). All the numbers in True Type fonts are of equal width ie (0 is the same width as 1) so first you need to find the decimal point in your number (ie Instr) then using Xprint Text Size again determine the width of the text up to and including the decimal point and subtract it from your TabStop value before before Xprint Set Pos and then printing your text.
          Line spacing is similar, a call to XPrint Text Size with your last line of text will give the height of the current font you are using in that line (for mixed fonts set the current font to the largest before the call) so again use Xprint and that value to set the position of the next line (obviously if you want 1.5 or double line spacing then you multiply)

            John,

            XPrint CHR SIZE to ncWIdthCar, ncHeightChar gives the width & height of
            a character. What more do you need from GetTextMetrics?

              But I don't believe it will give you the average character width for a proportional font
              John
              Just checked apologies you are correct, no need for the API call

                Xprint font Macros

                Still haven't been able to center {arrggghhh}. Get Client numbers never change

                Code:
                       'center title
'       Local ncWidth!, ncHeight!
'     XPrint Get Client To ncWidth!, ncHeight!  ' always 4944, 6457  regardless of Font
                (Just saw Paul's & John's post(s). Will play some more tomorrow maybe. Had enough for today.)


                Also here's some Xprint code you may find useful. Easy enough to sdd more of your own fonts.
                Code:
                Sub z_Print_Sample_Page

   Local Flag&, p&, ctr&, t1$, sz&, ln$, u$

                      M,

                      While your code is clever, even succinct, it's just a little too advanced for this PB Dummy. Maybe after I get into this XPrint stuff better it will no doubt be very handy.

                      John,

                      Your code was just the thing to get me off the dime. Even solved the line spacing issue I asked about above. I've been fooling around with it and now I'm going to see if I can incorporate it into the Xprint Macros I posted above. Sort of a "one stop shopping" font macroing.

                      Thanks guys. I vill be bock!

                        Good printing requires the programmer understanding one basic concept, that you not only print the text but are continually calculating where that will place you on the page. For text XPRINT provides this basic functionality with XPRINT TEXT SIZE and so this should be called for each portion of text printed (or adding a fixed amount for constant font lines) so you can calculate where you are.
                        Windows makes no real distinction between printing to a printer and what you see on your screen and as this is the basis of the GUI provides a large variety of API calls to efficiently provide this look, ie there are functions to provide word wrap, extra character interspace for justified text and then printing the lines with this extra space added.

                          Been busy with Xprint.

                          Here's a picture of the output in a Word Search Program I am writing for my granddaughter:

                          (It's part of a Fonts.Inc I have built.) When I get a chance I will fill in the "fLines =" for the other fonts (as is in Comic 24), as well as build more font macros.

                          If anyone has any suggestions, it's appreciated. I really love this Xprint. Wish I had started using it years ago. Thanks again John, for that example code. It really did the trick for me.
