What i've got is a map served by the tilecache
and shown by openlayers
and geoext
.
Now i need to print this map, so what i've done is:
made a button which creates (window.open()
) a new window with my map in it and window.print()
on body onload
.
This works well exept that i'm getting a second blank page. So the question is: how (and where) do i set map size and proportions to have it printed correctly?
map is created this way:
map = new OpenLayers.Map("map", {
maxExtent : new OpenLayers.Bounds(-20037508.34, -20037508.34, 20037508.34, 20037508.34),
maxResolution : 156543.03125 / 64,
numZoomLevels : 11,
units : 'm',
projection : "EPSG:900913",
displayProjection : new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),
});
