[scilab-Users] Printing graphics

[Mike Page]

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I am using SendScilabJob from a C program to
use the Scilab engine for graphics.  When I want to print, I can send the
Scilab job "toprint (0)" or "printfigure (0)".  This works, but I cannot set
the paper size and margins, nor set it to landscape unless I enter the
required values in a dialog box.  This is quite tedious for printing a
series of graphs.

I think you are right that the paper size default is set by the locale,
because on one of my machines it is set to A4 and on the other to Letter.
However, I don't know what determines whether portrait or landscape is the
default.

Maybe I just have to do it the hard way :-(

Thanks again,
Mike.

Hello Mike,

How do you print your figure? With C code or calling a scilab function
like toprint()?

I think that the default paper size is set by your operating system
(maybe somewhere in the locale settings or maybe at the printer level)...
