Hi all,
I am struggling with printing from wxpython. Please dont refer me to the wxpython wiki - been there done that.
I have two almost identical snippets of code to perform a print preview and a paper print of a wxmpl figure. The print preview works brilliantly, print to paper - nothing happens on the paper. A 0 byte print job flashes through the windows print spooler and that's it.
For text reports I got easy html printing going - that was indeed easy.... but I fought and fought with wxPrintout and gave up.... I had exactly the same problem - print preview worked fine - but print paper - empty print jobs.. I am missing something - but I dont know what. Please not the wiki - it's not helping me - it normally is fantastic.
Can anyone post some code that will print a wxmpl figure? Here's mine - it's in a state after several days of failed attempts....
self.printer_config = wx.PrintData()
print "Printer is: ", self.printer_config.GetPrinterName() # no printer name is reported here -
# yet a print job is sent to the pritner
self.printer_config.SetPaperId(wx.PAPER_A4_ROTATED) tim = wxmpl.FigurePrinter(self,self.printer_config)
tim.printFigure(self.ProdGraph.get_figure(), "Production Schedule")
Plan B - my customer wants the graph on paper - he doesnt care how I do it - and right now neither do I
I have wxmpl making a png image in a file - can some one give me the minimum lines of code - to get the png on paper - please. Lets say the file is called graph.png.
Thanks

Tim,
Does the example code at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~newville/Python/MPlot/
help at all? I admit I haven't tried this on a linux box in a while,
and maybe not with very recent matplotlib versions. But it works for
me on Windows and Mac, and has worked on linux boxes too. The code
there should definitely be a reasonable place to start.
Cheers,
--Matt Newville <newville at cars.uchicago.edu>

WxMpl already includes printing support, in the form of wxmpl.FigurePrinter. Have you tried it yet, and if so, does it also have the zero-byte print job problem?
