70001469 vdPrintStyleTable wishes

Summary

I would like to add other properties to the vdPrintStyleTable object. My request is: - to add the "Description" property that allows the user to set a description of the print style (what it does, etc.); - to set the line weight manually from keyboard (not following the constants - to add a property that indicates the filling.

Solution

vdPrintStyle can be used to change the way objects are going to be printed having specific palette colors. Note that printing functionality is being used also when rendering to bitmap and also in PDF export.

vdPrintStyle.LineWeight Can take any positive double value that represents the line width in milimiters of output device drawing context.
