Hello,
Here's a dumb question.... Does anyone know what measurement in
'points' refers to ? Is it pixels as I assume ? And if so, why am I
seeing a difference in calculation between the margin values in the
NSPageLayout dialog summary section and the values I'm getting from the
[NSPrintInfo ...Margin] methods ? That is, if the device selected is 72
dpi. (which is what is found in the NSPrinter's dictionary) and a left
margin 'summary' value of .25 in. This yields a pixel margin of 18
pixels (.25 * 72) simple enough right ? So why does the [NSPrintInfo
leftMargin] method return a value of 72. If we are at 72 dpi. then this
would imply a 1 inch margin which is clearly not what was in the summary
from the dialog ?
Thanks in advance for any insight
Regards,
Bob M.
