Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has had a case where you've drawn some things in a Blackbox view and then printed it, but the printout is an incomplete version of what's on the screen?

In my case, I've got my own data plotting program, and I just did a plot where it looks fine on the screen, and it also looks fine if I copy and paste it into Powerpoint (as an enhanced metafile). A printout from Powerpoint of this plot also looks fine.

However, if I print this view in Blackbox, the printout has about half of the data points missing (the latter half). This particular plot is rather complex, and probably makes a few thousand calls to f.DrawOval and also a lot of calls to f.DrawPath.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm wondering if this is something that I've programmed wrong, or if there's a bug/limitation in Blackbox's printing capability.

Thanks,

Marc Martin
