Happy Holidays All....
I am trying to create a program with some custom printing, involving
layout and images that do not appear on any windows. The Cocoa APIs for
printing are very powerful, and easy to follow, but they seem to be
based on the assumption that a given view will be printed. Some view
object has it's print method called. However, according to the
documentation, the views have to be part of a window in order to
function. Thus I can either create the view in a hidden (invisible)
window, or off the side of a visible window, but not in the visible
region. What is the best way to handle this type of "off screen"
printing? What do people recommend? Am I working with a bad assumption,
ie. that I need to use Views? Or that views have to be connected to a
window to be printed?
Any comments, suggestions, out and out hints, would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve Sheets
