Re: Announce: tkpath 0.2


Thanks for the answer.

Do you have any plans on when it could happen, to
be able to print with all tkpath capabilities on
Windows?

Hello,

tkpath seems like a very nice addition to Tk.

Currently, in order to print on Windows, one can use the
"print" package for dealing with the printer and the "gdi" package
for drawing (both developed by Michael I. Schwartz). The "gdi" package
only permmits very simple drawing. Would it be possible to use tkpath
in order to draw for printing? Would it have a command to print text
with all the unicode chars?


This is why I wrote the tclbitprint package that is supposed to be a
more
general and x-platform way of printing where I essentially have
rewritten
the canvas widget to draw on a user defined graphics device.

Currently I only have MacCarbonPrint for MacOSX but it shouldn't be
too difficult to write the windows printing stuff.
All drawing is already there using tk drawing in the canvas.
When tkpath gets more mature I can add also this code to tclbitprint.

The gdi package isn't very smart since it is completely tied to GDI
drawing.
