truePrint
truePrint lets you copy the card picture to the clipboard
and, if you want, to print it.
This allows you to print cards in color, although only
at screen resolution and only if the card fits entirely
onto your screen(s).
truePrint requires HyperCard 2.1 or later.
trueColor is not needed.
How to use it
ctrl-p: brings up a dialog that lets you choose
whether to copy only or to print
ctrl-opt-p: copy card without dialog
ctrl-shift-p: copy&print card without dialogs
If you have trueColor, these keys will work right
away; otherwise you will have to make sure that
the stack truePrint is "in use".
Just open it and the keys will work until you quit HyperCard.
If you want to start using truePrint automatically, put
start using stack "truePrint"
into the startup handler of the script of your home stack.
Scripting
trueScreenShot
function that hides the cursor, the menubar and
all windows except the card window, takes a screen shot,
and shows everything again.
If no error occured it will return "ok" in the first word
and the full pathname of the file in the second.
trueCopyRect r
copies the rectangle r of the screen to the clipboard.
It calls trueScreenShot, clips out the rectangle and copies it
to the clipboard, and then deletes the screen shot.
truePrintCard withDialogs, copyOnly
withDialogs: whether to show dialogs, default is false
copyOnly: if true the picture is not printed, default is false
