Insane crazy question - printing commands

Hi,
I'm doing something odd with pycairo and friends and I want to see what
commands are coming out of my objects.

Here's some code:

class Box:
def draw()
self.context.se t_source_rgb(1, 0, 0)
self.context.re ctangle(0, 00, 50, 50)
self.context.fi ll()

Box.draw() draws a red box, all fine. But, I *also* want it to output the
actual commands within the draw def to the console (or a file).

At the moment I am doing this:
class Box:
def draw()
self.context.se t_source_rgb(1, 0, 0)
self.context.re ctangle(0, 00, 50, 50)
self.context.fi ll()
print """
self.context.se t_source_rgb(1, 0, 0)
self.context.re ctangle(0, 00, 50, 50)
self.context.fi ll()
"""
Do you see the form? Is there some <voodoo magicpython introspection way I
can perform that automagically without having to use the print statement?

Something like:
class Box:
def draw()
self.context.se t_source_rgb(1, 0, 0)
self.context.re ctangle(0, 00, 50, 50)
self.context.fi ll()
def dump():
<mystical mindblowing stuff involving deep magic>

See, I told you it was insane :)

I'm trying to print a simple catalogue of products but where an image straddles a page break, the image either disappears completely or else the first half prints at the bottom of the page but the second half does not print at the top of the following page.? Huh.? The single image for each record is contained inside of a table with a simple construct. No rowspans just an ordinary <td> placement. The output can be viewed at:

Greetings, (.NET 2.0, WinXP Pro/Server 2003, IE6 with latest service packs).

Hi, I am getting into printing with VB.NET 2005 and want to implement the usual capability that a user can select a selection of pages.

I want to offer the user the ability to select via the print dialog that only pages 1 and 2 of it are printed or possibly pages 1 and 3 but not 2. At the moment I can produce all three pages...

Okay, I have been programming for a long time, and am getting back into C after about a 4 year break from it. Below is some code that won't compile for the life of me, and it is driving me crazy! If anyone can see anything that I can't, I would love to know. All the code is pasted, although in my real code it is broken into a header and a seperate .c file. #include <stdlib.h> typedef enum {typeNum, typeString} VariableType;

The method for printing documents in .Net can be confusing, especially for newer users. I would like to create a way to simplify this process. My idea would be implemented using a PrintDocument (much like the current model), but my PrintDocument would have a Pages collection such that each time you need to have an additional page, you would just add another page to the collection and then use the page object for the actual drawing etc. ...

I have an application that prints documents that it creates. It uses what I believe is a standard .NET way of doing so, like this: PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler (this.pd_PrintPage); PrintDialog PrintDialog1 = new PrintDialog(); PrintDialog1.Document = pd; DialogResult result = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog();

I have a vb.net 2005 application and am using the print preview screen. This screen has a printer icon on it that the user can use to print the document currently being viewed. It uses the default printer settings to print. I wanted the print preview to appear the same for all users (i.e. a default page size of 8.5x14 (legal) and portrait mode). Many users have different printers as their default (plotters etc..) and I found that various...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
