- Curt,
- Regarding your recent MacApp$ request about printing architectures, I kind
- of like the current approach wherein the View class has some printing "hook"
- methods to do things like custom page breaks since that means that I don't have
- to ever fool with the printing classes themselves. I will always be designing
- custom view subclasses in any new application, so as long as I am there, it is
- easy to override a print method or two. The other architecture would require
- me to add another subclass to my application.
-
- I have also found it easy to teach that the view object "helps" the print
- handler object with issues like were to split up the view into pages. People
- seem to accept it as a natural cooperation.
