----------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS IS NOT A FLAME ABOUT APPLE - UNFORTUNATELY, I'M TOO NICE FOR THAT. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Of all the mainfold agonies of Macintosh programming, IMHO the absolute worst is getting your application to print. The documentation in Inside Macintosh is _abysmal_ in this regard. If you put together all the stuff in IM1-V, plus the technotes, plus trial and error, then you still in most cases get something that works on alternate tuesdays during Lent. Well, I'm sick of screwing around with the printer drivers. And since Apple has, in 4 or 5 years, yet to publish some decent example code that has the minor virtue of working (to their everlasting shame!), I will bestow 1lb of Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies upon the first person who posts to the net source code in MPW Pascal that handles printing properly. This is to say, code that: * Prints on all Apple supported printers * Prints in all selectable resolution modes * Lets the user abort * Prints under Finder & Multifinder on ALL machines * is in the form of "it's all set up, insert your code to image into this bitmap here". In case you are wondering, 1lb of Mrs. Fields is the ISO standard bribe to elicit example code. As for why I'm offering it, my most recent stab at printing code, which worked fine a few months ago and hasn't been changed, now seems to get pissed off when it's asked to print to an Imagewriter in other than draft mode.

If you realize that "drawing" to the printer is basically the same as dealing with off-screen bitmaps, you should have no major problems. The documentation on page 155 of IM2 is what I've used often for printing. It covers all the basics of printing -- and deals with printing only certain pages of the document. IMHO, the print manager seems more difficult than it actually is. I think that the main problem is that you don't really get to see the output until the printing loop is finished, which is the same as dealing with off-screen bitmaps. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Glenn L.

The print code only looks bad. If you type in verbatim the code in TechNote #161, call your printing code from the middle of the page calls, it will print fine. (Of course this doesn't apply if you're trying to do anything tricky, but regular quickdraw calls will get done fine.) -Owen Owen Hartnett Brown University Computer Science omh@cs.brown.edu.CSNET

If you just want to print out exactly what you see on the screen, then all you have to do is add four lines of source code to your program. Automagically, the print items in your file menu (Page setup, Print One, and Print...) are enabled and work. The user can abort at any time, and you don't even have to supply the items you mentioned in bullet #5, as your main drawing code is autumatically re-used. If your printing needs are little more extravagent, MacApp can accomodate that as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions

What I am _bitching_ about is that the doco in IM is abysmal. And there are few examples, and none of them current with the many changes and patches. I had a _prerelease_ Mac and programmed the sucker on a Lisa; I thought printing was a pain in the a** then and I still do. Several people have sent me nice shells that pointed out a couple of gotchas to me that 1) don't matter 99% of the time, but do kill you every so often and 2) a set of basic sample sources from Apple would have alleviated. Sigh.

[] Yes, please! After reading all the stuff in IM 1-5, I wrote some code to print. After I fixed a typo (passing struct instead of handle for print record--boom! (Thanks, Mike Kahl)) it worked fine on the Imagewriter, all modes. I tried it on a Laserwriter, and it bombs 100%. It bombs at work with a PS-800. It bombs at work using cmd-{f,k}. It bombs at home using cmd-{f,k}. Blah!

Ever tried to print a large PICT file? You can't use the approach from the Tech Note, because installing your own QuickDraw bottleneck for GetPICTData will interfere with the Printing manager's bottlenecks. You have to draw into an offscreen bitmap and then draw that into the page port. What a pain. You can't even allocate a bitmap big enough in many cases, so you have to break the bitmap into bands and draw repeatedly into each band. And yes, the Print Manager is a mess overall. Fortunately, Apple does seem to realize this and will probably improve it some day. That's why they won't document what print drivers are supposed to do (and why Joel West's Palomar Software is doing such a good business in providing developers with print drivers....) >I dunno, this isn't >nearly as difficult as dealing with the low-level File Manager routines. >For example, if you want to read a text file, using the newline flag >(reported to exist and occasionally mentioned in the documentation)... Why would you want to do that? Can you say "slow"? Surely reading a text file in a block-by-block way is not beyond the skills of a professional programmer! Remember, the key to speed is to read in as much as possible into the largest buffer possible.

Remember, the key to speed is to read in >as much as possible into the largest buffer possible. If you follow >this rule, the actual code calling the File Manager is nearly trivial. Your comments about printing (deleted from above) are well taken. But so far as reading in "newline" mode goes: 1) Virtually all programming environments on all major operating systems support this (C, Pascal, FORTRAN, etc., on UNIX, VMS, MS-DOS, etc.) at a reasonably low level in a reasonably versatile manner. 2) Why would it have to be slow? The most common mid- to high-level UNIX I/O is streamed and it's not a problem. I just want to read mid-sized text files (xx-xxxK); I don't want to sector- copy volumes... 3) Most programming tasks handled by the Toolbox and other system software aren't beyond the skills of professional programmers. That's not the point. Fast character I/O (buffered by the system or language run-time routines) and line-at-a-time I/O are SIMPLE and USEFUL tools. During development, who CARES if I/O performance is -25% of optimum? 4) Anyway, I disagree with the simple assertion that the "key to speed" is reading as much as possible at a time from disk. This is just not true. You can't hope for much improvement in I/O performance once your buffer size exceeds the controller's buffer size. You may even suffer a speed *penalty* if you do random I/O on a fragmented file with a buffer size > sector size. Furthermore, in situations where it is necessary to scan the file being read character-by-character anyway (when reading a text file, or parsing a source that must be kept on disk, or whatever) the overhead of a system-based character I/O routine can be negligible. In systems that provide fast character I/O, it can be SLOWER to do the "raw" block reads yourself if you have to write the supporting code in a HLL. The lack of explicit Toolbox support for non-block-oriented file I/O is, at best, a weird omission. Sure, it's there, but >hiss< >boo< it's buried in the low-level routines and it's not well documented. Are we just not SUPPOSED to read text files on the Mac the same way we read them on any machine?

Virtually everyone I've known has called me "John" at one time or another. I don't know what it is ... And, yes, I'm still here. I've received about a half dozen examples of code. I'm working on a (sort of) simple dialog manager example, and will collect a few snippets from my personal library, and send this stuff out, oh, say around the end of the week. Actually, I wrote a simple print routine that does a good job of printing TextEdit records (for use with TransEdit and TransDisplay), and I'll send that along, too. It's short enough that I might even post it here. ... And, yes, DO send me those examples ... they get filed dutifully and will be repackaged very soon ...
