SIMION 8.0 Issues/Bugs/Enhancements

Issue I521 [enhancement,inprogress]
  New simion.print_screen() function to print current image.

  A new simion.print_screen() function was added in 8.1 early access mode
  (8.0.5-TEST32) (Issue I421) to invoke the SIMION "print" function from
  View or Modify screens.  It uses the current printer options.
  If the image cannot be printed (e.g. not in a View or Modify screen),
  this function has no effect.

  Project files for new print screen feature in SIMION can be downloaded
  from the "Check for Updates" button in SIMION.

  - simion8-geometry_optimize-20090217.zip
      - new simion.exe and new example.
      - To use:
        - Unzip.
        - Copy your simion.key file (from your SIMION program foler) into this folder.
        - Run the simion*.exe program included in this folder.
        - Select geometry_optimize.lua" program from the "Run Lua Program" button.
        - PNG images and HTML file are written to this folder and displayed
      - See the included Lua programs for details on these new Lua interfaces:
          simion.print_screen()
          simion.printer.type
          simion.printer.filename

  - http://simion.com/tmp/df4s89a.pdf
      - PDF of the three emf files written by an older version of the example

  Current limitations:

    - The simion.printer Lua
      object lacks options on the print options screen and is not well documented.
      This interface will be expanded and improved

  The code may still be improved later.
