Diagrams

As I mentioned, dvilj supports diagram printing, i.e. draw files or sprites inserted in a DVI file with the drawfile or DVIview_diagram \special command will be printed as graphics which are then appended to the output file created so far. This means

  1. If you want to print diagrams you'll have to have a Laserjet printer driver loaded.
  2. You can't print diagrams from a task window! You have to go single tasking for that.
  3. If you want to print draw files you'll have to have the drawfile module either loaded or in your system:modules folder. dvilj will attempt to load it from there in case it's not already present.
    Note: the drawfile module is not part of this release; these days it seems to be part of pretty much anything and everybody who has the new version of DVIview will have it anyway. In case you really don't have a look at ftp.acorn.co.uk.

However dvilj offers you a way to cache those printouts so ideally you'll have to actually print diagrams only once and can on future runs simply include the pre-printed files. This also means that you won't be needing the drawfile module and you can print from a taskwindow.
