Printing output #109

Open FraserElectronics opened 1 year ago

FraserElectronics commented 1 year ago

Is it possible to print rendered graphics? I can use CreateBitmapGraphics to get the rendered output into a bitmap but how to I then get that bitmap into a GDI bitmap that I can send to the printer?

Any help would be appreciated.

D2D.CreateBitmapGraphics(...), creates an hardware optimized ID2D1Bitmap and, AFAIK, you can't print it.

You need to create a new renderTarget using the imageFactory, and then you'll be able to save, print and share with .NET the created bitmap.

@agfp Thanks, I will look into it.
