A small bug has been fixed in 0.76 release. Please get the last version http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess/pgaccess-0.76.tar.gz Does anyone knows more about printing canvases in Tcl/Tk ? -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA

A couple of years ago, I wrote a small application in Tcl/Tk, which generated postscript files containing a map showing how far we had got in capturing data into a GIS system. I can't remember much on how I had done this, but I should be able to dig up the code to give you some pointers. -- Peter T Mount petermount@earthling.net or pmount@maidast.demon.co.uk Main Homepage: http://www.demon.co.uk/finder Work Homepage: http://www.maidstone.gov.uk Work EMail: peter@maidstone.gov.uk

Thanks. In PgAccess I will use a canvas in order to paint the report and get the image as postscript file. 1. Presuming that my printer uses A4 paper (X mm by Y mm). How do I know where should I stop writting on canvas (where is the page limit). My objects from the canvas are using some coordinates. What is the formula for translating from canvas coordinates into milimeters ? -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA

What is the formula > for translating from canvas coordinates into milimeters ? I seem to remember that it's capable of scaling the output, so one way is to refer to the coordinates in units of mm. That way, you can even handle other paper sizes. -- Peter T Mount petermount@earthling.net or pmount@maidast.demon.co.uk Main Homepage: http://www.demon.co.uk/finder Work Homepage: http://www.maidstone.gov.uk Work EMail: peter@maidstone.gov.uk
