To be honest I didn't remember the resolution indipendent thing, but I was
supposing something similar
since drawing my image in tiles on this context resulted with gaps !
But I was not able to obtain the scale factor of the printing context so I
didn't understand.
CGContextConvertSizeToDeviceSpace() does not seem to correctly convert my
paperSize
(from NSPrintInfo) to device space. (see below)
I need this information because I want to scale an image (ie 500 Mpx) to a
reasonable size instead of
crashing my app! :)
I haven't checked the context transform matrix yet, but which route should I
follow to obtain this information?
Preview printing view:
paperSize={595.00 842.00} devicePaperSize={212.70 -301.00}
PDF:
paperSize={595.00 842.00} devicePaperSize={595.00 842.00}
Canon printer:
paperSize={595.00 842.00} devicePaperSize={595.00 842.00}
Thank you!
