[comp.windows.x] Help: Printing a very large window using xdpr

jack@maslow.arc.nasa.gov (Jack Liao) (05/08/90)

I need to print out a window that is larger (wider) then the size of
the screen.  xdpr seems to only print the visible/clipped area of the window.
Is there any way to print out the entire window?

I'm using X11R4 on a Sun4 with a color monitor (cgfour0) and a PostScript
printer.

Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

GetImage only works for rectangles entirely on-screen.  To do something
larger, you'd have to hack xwd to create a pixmap, do a CopyArea to it,
and then do a GetImage on the pixmap.
