HELP
Outputs a page for each of the selected
objects, containing all views and Description
data, to a printer or a print file.

USE
Use Print Objects to get hardcopy of selected
objects.  Print Objects displays a dialog box
that specifies information about the printer
configuration.

Print Objects will print all views (icon,
open, detail, or panel), along with
Description data, for each object.

If no objects are currently selected, the
Print Objects menu item will be grayed out.

LOCATION
File ==> Print Objects

DIALOG INFORMATION
Print Objects displays the Printer Config
dialog box.  The following fields are
displayed:

* Graphics Printer - Allows you to select
from the set of printers configured on your
system for graphics.  You may also use the
default printer.  Click the mouse on Default
for a selection of available printers.  If
you click on Graphics Printer, the field
toggles to Graphics Directory (below).

* Graphics Directory - Allows you to specify
a destination directory for the files that
output is printed to.  The output files are
named "page1", "page2", and so forth.

* Printer Type - Identifies the particular
type of printer being used for graphics
printing.  When Graphics Directory is
selected, this field becomes File Type
(below).

* File Type - Selects the type of output file
that is to be written.

* Magnification - Allows you to select
enlargement or reduction of the graphic being
printed.  A value of 1 generates the same
physical size print on paper as is viewed on
the screen, if the printer allows it.  A .5
reduces the graphic to half the screen size.
If you are printing to a Postscript printer,
a Magnification of 1 automatically scales the
picture to fit on the page.  (The picture is
scaled first to the page size, then the
Magnification factor is applied.)

* Darkness - Allows you to select the
intensity of print you want, either light,
medium, or dark.

* Landscape - Allows you to select the
landscape (horizontal) presentation of
graphics.

NOTES
Print Objects may take a few moments to
capture the image of the objects,
particularly if you select a large number of
objects.  While the image is being captured,
the pointer changes to an hourglass.  You
can't use HP VEE until the capture is
completed (the pointer changes back to a
crosshair).

HP VEE only saves one configuration for
printing.  It can be set with Printer Config,
Print All, Print Objects, or Print Screen.

If HP VEE prints to a file in xwd format,
you can print the file by first converting it
to PCL using pctrans.  Then use the HP-UX
command
lp -oraw filename
to print the PCL file to an HP LaserJet
printer (or other PCL printer).

If HP VEE prints to a file in Postscript
format, you can print it to a Postscript
printer using the HP-UX command
lp -d<PostscriptPrinter> filename
where <PostscriptPrinter> is the device name
for your Postscript printer.
