NSPrintOperationMBS.EPSOperationWithView(view as NSViewMBS, rect as NSRectMBS) as NSPrintOperationMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
shared method Cocoa Printing MBS MacCocoa Plugin 12.4 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Creates and returns a new NSPrintOperation object ready to control the copying of EPS graphics from the specified view.

View: The view containing the data to be turned into EPS data.
rect: The portion of the view (specified in points in the view's coordinate space) to be rendered as EPS data.

After the job is run, use the Data function to get the EPS data.
Returns the new NSPrintOperation object. You must run the operation to generate the EPS data.

The new NSPrintOperation object uses the default NSPrintInfo object. This method raises an NSPrintOperationExistsException if there is already a print operation in progress; otherwise the returned object is made the current print operation for this thread.
