The print
command is an extension to Lingo provided by the PrintOMatic Xtra. This command is used to print one or more items to the currently selected printer. The following Director objects are printable:
type of object what gets printed
_________________________________________________________________
text field cast member the text of the field, using the
specified fonts and styles
rich text cast member the bitmap image of the cast member,
including anti-aliasing
bitmap cast member the cast member graphic
PICT cast member the cast member graphic
cast library all printable cast members in the
library, in cast sequence
sprite the cast member of the sprite
text string the text string, in the default font
(Geneva 10pt on Macintosh,
Arial 10pt on Windows)
list the elements in the list
document the contents of the PrintOMatic document
Examples:
You can print a number of objects together with a single call to the print
command:
print "Printed Output" & RETURN , member "image" , member "someText"
One of the most powerful uses of the print command is to assemble all the elements of a document into a single cast library, and print the entire cast library with one line of Lingo:
print castLib "document"
