Is there any print example that can be referenced for SL 4?

weiliang

I try to incorporate the print feature into our website (with SL 4, and ESRI API 2.0). I used the following code, but it direct me to the print dialog box only. How can I make a print template (e.g., http://citizengis.chesterfield.gov/) to print the current map extent with some controls (e.g, scale bar) into a pdf. Is there any easy way to do so or I must create a WCF service?

PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
doc.PrintPage += (s, e) =>
{
e.PageVisual = MyMap
e.HasMorePages = false;
};
doc.Print("Map");

Many thanks,

Wei

Also in this thread : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/7214-Tiled-Layers-skewed-north-west-when-printing-with-Silverlight-4?highlight=printdocument Lisa provided an application for previewing/printing a map.

weiliang

Thanks for your reply. But I still confused on how to "print a control that contains a map plus header etc". Should I create a user control and add the map control and scale bar, etc into it (how to maintain the map extent and make the whole map just fit onto the page)?

Best,

Wei

Good afternoon, Wei!

I have since polished my print application, and it now includes legend information, graphics, and custom titles, and the user can preview the map before they print it. If it would be helpful to you, I'd be happy to post a stripped down version of the application for you to see. Controlling the size of the print page was a matter of trial and error - a 500x500 pixel map, for instance, will print nicely on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper with room at the bottom for notes, and at the side for a legend.

I'm sad to say many trees died to bring you this information. 😉

Please let me know if the application would be useful!

I just tried to upload my quickie printing project, and I got the following:

The requested resource
/newattachment.php
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.
ArcWS/4.0.20 Server at forums.arcgis.com Port 80

The .rar file is just over 1MB and the attachment tool says I can have 2MB, so is there a mismatch somewhere?

In the meantime, I'd be happy to email the project to anyone who'd like to see it. Just post back with an email address that I can reach you at, and whether you'd like .zip or .rar.

Thanks!

Many thanks for your kindly help, Lisa. I appreciate it very much. You may send your example to lwconquer@gmail.com if possible.

BTW, I put all my desired info (scale bar, title, and a map control) into one Child Window (name: ChildWindow), and try to print a grid control inside this child window by using new SL 4 class. The initial size of this Child Window is small (e.g., 300 width and 400 height), and I try to readjust it to make it fit the whole paper after it print to the paper. Does anyone have any idea how I can do that?

Thanks,

Wei

I have fired off the project to those that have requested it so far - hopefully you find it helpful! If anyone else would like it, please give an email address and I'll send it.

Does Lisa's Print Function allow printing to scale? Many folks are asking for a way to print to scale before the PDF is created. If so can you email me your print function too Lisa? my email is josh_vickrey@swn.com

Thanks Lisa

Good afternoon, Josh!

I've seen that mentioned before, and pardon my lack of GIS knowledge (I'm a .NET/Silverlight developer by trade, and am very new to all things geographic), but could you clarify what you mean by print to scale, please?

Thanks!

Hi Lisa-

So for instance in the Silverlight Print Function, the user would select that they want a PDF and they want it to be 1 inch = 100 feet. So there would probably be a dropdown with the option of 1" = 100' and 1" = 200', etc.. When the PDF is produced 1 inch on the PDF would be exactly 100 feet. Hope that helps

LisaChesley

Good morning, Josh!

Thank you for the clarification - no, my print sample does not do anything of the sort. My users haven't requested it, however, as they are mainly concerned with printing out very small geographic areas (usually a single property), and want to print out exactly what they're seeing on the screen.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any way to get that working, except to allow the user to pick the scale before they print, and then somehow zoom your print preview map to scale before showing it to the user.

I'm going to send you the sample anyway, and you can see how it works - Silverlight printing does *not* allow much in the way of fit to page, or other functionality you may have become used to in the past.

Thanks!

Very nice job on code! Have you considered a scalebar to tell what scale you print at?

Bruce

LisaChesley

Good morning, Bruce!

Thank you for pointing that out - I threw that project together in a bit of a hurry, and must have forgotten to add a scale bar. The other projects I'm working on all have one, though - they're quite useful, and very easy to add now with element binding.

In the interests of keeping the printing project lean and mean, though, I'll leave that up to your discretion to add or not.

Thanks!

Hi Lisa,

I did not get your email, my organization blocks .zip files and that is probably why. Would you mind sending the code to jsauder@cox.net

Thanks,
