You can print information about the InTouch graphical objects that you have placed in an application window. InTouch graphical objects include simple objects, such as lines, buttons, and text, as well as complex objects, such as cells, ActiveX controls, SmartSymbols, and Industrial graphics.
You can print details for graphical objects to either a printer or an .html file. An .html file is created for each window. The .html file contains:
-
A picture of the window as a referenced .png file.
-
A listing of details about each graphical object in the window.
If you print graphical object details for multiple windows, a summary .html file is created that has links to the window-specific .html files.

-
Open an InTouch application in WindowMaker.
-
On the quick access toolbar, click Print.
The WindowMaker Printout dialog box appears.
-
Select the Windows check box.

Specify the windows to print:
-
All prints the images/graphics for all windows in the application.
Note: Printing all windows of an application to an XPS file can cause WindowMaker to stop responding if the windows contain many graphics or large graphics that exceed the available memory of the computer hosting WindowMaker. You should print these windows one at a time to avoid problems caused by memory shortages.
