The need of a "print" primitive is already asked several times in the past in this forum, but it was not included in the BLUEBIRD christmas version, hope to find it in the next version.

I really missed a printer selection dialog and a printout-tool to make a hardcopy for aquired data and graphics inside flowstone without the need of external software.

Is there a workaround for printing?
Is it doable inside ruby?
How do other flowstoners deal with this?

Thank you

If you google it you mostly find redirections to Puts and Print

but maybe the options here can help you:

Thanks for your input here. Of course I searched this forum and google before.
I´ve used the notepad/p method for printing text on the standard printer in the past, but this is very limited, for example. bw only.

My compiled *.exe file for data acquisition is installed on a small pc board in an industrial invironement (without office progs and such fancy stuff) and I didn´t want reinvent the wheel for a everydays printing task.

For the 12 year old ruby example it seems I had to dive deep in the machineroom like the old dos days. Coloured graphics printing? Maybe.

So a prefabricated flowstone module would be nice, like in other graphical programming languages like labview or ProfiLab. Examples anyhow?
