FilePrintMultiple macro command

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Macro commands may be used either in macros or by sending the commands to DPlot via dynamic data exchange (DDE). Some commands are valid only in macros (noted by Macros Only). Commands sent to DPlot via DDE must be enclosed by square brackets [     ]. Macro commands should not include the brackets.

Command parameters shown in the descriptions below are placeholders for the actual values. Command parameters are either numeric values or character strings; character string parameters are always bound by double quotation marks.

All indices into arrays are 1-based, e.g. Curve1=1 refers to the first curve in a plot.

A 0x prefix for numbers in the descriptions below indicates hexadecimal notation; e.g. 0x0010 = 16.

JR/Viewer indicates that the command is supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.
JR/Viewer indicates that the command is NOT supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.


 

[FilePrintMultiple(
"printer",numdocs,doc1,doc2,...,docn,layout,space)]

JR   Viewer

Prints multiple documents to the same page.

printerPrinter description, exactly as it appears in the Control Panel Printers applet, e.g. "HP LaserJet 6P/6MP PostScript". If omitted, as in
FilePrintMultiple("",4,1,2,3,4,2,0.25,0.25)]
then the default printer will be used.
numdocsNumber of documents to print on the same page.
doc<x>Document indices (1-32) for each of the numdocs documents to print. These indices are in the same order as the documents shown on the Window menu.
layoutArrangement of documents on the page. 0=vertical, 1=horizontal, n (n>2)=n columns.
spaceMinimum space between graphs on the printed page, in inches.

The entire page minus margins is divided into equal areas with space inches between each area for each document (the area on the page devoted to each document will be equal, regardless of Extents/Intervals /Size settings).

You can leave blank areas on the printed page by specifying a non-existant document index. For example:

FilePrintMultiple("",4,1,100,3,4,2,0.25,0.25)]

If there is no document with index=100 (and there never will be since the maximum number of open documents is 32) then this command will print document 1 in the upper left corner, 3 in the lower left corner, 4 in the lower right corner, and the upper right corner will be blank.
