Hi guys,
this is my first email to the list. Currently I'm working on an app
that has to do with printing and I haven't really had any experience
with this. I get the basic concept that print and drawing to screen
are the same thing and all was working fine until I wanted to have a
striped background - I used the [NSColor colorWithPatternImage:]
method and everything works fine but I can't understand one thing. How
am I supposed to generate the pattern image to print with the proper
size on the printer having it set to 300 dpi for example. While the
view is being printed on the screen (for preview or saved to PDF) it's
size is calculated with 72 dpi. How can I create a pattern that would
either be vector graphics (so it scales fine) or how do I know how to
prepare the image given that users can print on different printers
with different settings.
