[fpc-pascal] Postscriptcanvas

[David Copeland]

Hi Felipe,

I had not thought that approach (a non-visual lcl program) to be
possible, but I will try it. Would I use the Nogui widgetset? Would such
a program run on a host where X was not installed? I am targeting only
Linux. I save the output to a file (SaveToFile). The user prints the
file if needed.

Thanks,
Dave.

If you are trying to print, why do you want to use PostScriptCanvas
directly? Are you targeting only UNIXes? How will you connect the
generated postscript to the printer? You have your own code for that?

I would recommend that you use the LCL in your project and print via
the Printer object, as normally done. LCL applications do not need to
be visual, just make an application without any forms.
