You can print both diagrams and text. To print individual diagrams, you must first open them in the Diagram pane. To print the source code, you must open it in the Editor pane. (Note that printing is not supported in the free Together Whiteboard product.)
Check your system printer setup before you print any diagrams. It is important to make sure that the page size and orientation you have currently set for the printer you plan to use matches the page size and orientation settings in Together's Print options (see below). If you override default or project-level Print options in individual diagrams, make sure the page size and orientation specified in the Print tab of the diagram-level Options dialog also matches that in your system printer's setup.
To check Together's default Print options:
From the main menu bar, choose Options | Default to display the Default Options dialog.
Select the Print tab and check the settings.
To check Print options for the current project:
From the main menu bar, choose Options | Project to display the Project Options dialog.
Select the Print tab and configure settings as desired.
To check Print options for a specific diagram:
Choose Diagram Options from the Diagram context to
display the Diagram Options dialog.
Select the Print tab and configure settings as desired.
For information on the multi-level configuration architecture, see Configuring Together: Multi-level configuration.
You can print any diagram separately, as a group, or all diagrams in the project.
To print a single diagram:
Open the diagram in the Diagram pane (project must be open).
If there are several open diagrams, click the tab
of the one you want to print
Choose File |
Print Diagram on the Main menu to launch Print Diagram dialog.
Click OK
To print several diagrams at once:
Open the diagrams in the Diagram pane (project must be open).
Click on the workspace of any open diagram.
From the Main Menu, choose File
| Print Diagram to launch Print
Diagram dialog.
Select the All Open option and click OK.
To print source code:
Make sure the Editor pane shows up (check Editor pane checkbox in the
View menu, or press F9).
Click on the desired element of a diagram to
display its source code in the Editor pane, or just type your text in
the active tab of the Editor pane.
With the Editor pane having the focus, choose File
| Print File from the Main Menu, to start Print
File dialog.
Make necessary settings and click OK.
The Options dialogs provide context-relevant Help for each option directly in the dialog.
If you are running Together under Windows, set your printer's True Type Fonts property to Print As Graphics in the Font tab of the Windows Printers dialog before printing diagrams.
To make sure that all diagram elements fall within page boundaries, run the auto-layout command Layout All for Printing from the Diagram speedmenu before printing a diagram. If you have done a manual layout, restore it using Undo after printing. Be sure to run Undo before closing the diagram or your manual layout will be lost.
Printing problems can stem from any number of things unrelated to a particular application program such as Together.
Some printer drivers on the Windows platform can cause printing problems. The diagram image is scaled up or down on the paper and doesn't match the visual boundaries. This problem was reported with the Sun JVM versions 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 under Windows (both 95 and NT). They consistently occur with the MS JVM build 2829 (SDK 3.0) and build 2925 (SDK 3.1).
On the other hand, Sun JVM 1.1.7B does not cause this problem. Upgrade to this version or a later if you use Java from Sun.
For other VM versions, Together provides a workaround for printing in Windows via the property: print.dpi=72 in the $TOGETHER_HOME$/config/misc.config file.
This property prevents problems in most cases. If you experience printing problems as described above, try adjusting the value or commenting out this property. Then try printing again.
For each test, modify and save the misc.config file, call Tools | Reload Options (assuming Together is running), and finally invoke File | Print diagram.
You can set printing options at different levels in the Options dialog.
To set default-level printing options, choose Options | Default on
the main menu and click the Print tab.
To set project-level printing options, open a
project and choose Options | Project on the main menu and click the
Print tab.
To set print options for individual diagrams that override the more global-level print options settings, open the diagram in the Diagram pane, right-click on the background choose Diagram Options on the Diagram speedmenu, and go to the Print tab.
For further information, consult the configuration topics of the Getting Started Guide.
Together
has automated layout optimization for printing diagrams.
Auto-layout for
printing ensures that all diagram elements fall within page borders
defined by page size in Print Options.
Invoke
print auto-layout immediately before printing a diagram. Right-click
on the diagram background, then choose Auto-layout | All for Printing.
Tip: If you want to preserve a diagram layout that you have done manually, you can invoke Undo after you running auto-layout and printing the diagram.
After generating HTML documentation, open it in your Web browser and
print from there.
After generating documentation in another format, open it in an application that reads the file format and print from there.
