Printing Text & Graphics

[sheppie68]

Hello,

I am writing an application for Linux and need to generate a daily report. Currently I put all of the information into a text file and then send it to CUPS to print. I'd really like to include a JPG graphic on the report, but don't know how to do this. If anyone can help out or has an example I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Ian

You could get familiar with the OpenOffice file format. It's just a Jar file with XML template objects etc.

You can build your own templates and then build the file and send this off for printing. I have used this previously as a way to generate invoices and work-logs.

If you got really familiar with it, then you could write your own ODF files :)

Another object is to create PDF documents by using a PDF library or something similar to this.

Edit: You could prob even just create an HTML document and print this :)
