    Is there a plan for improving Paint.Net's printer interface?

     

    Yes.

     

    However, it is WAAAAAAAAY down the features list.

     

    So, don't hold your breath waiting for that.

    Box Outlining

    in Plugin Developer's Central

    Here is a classic script to help you determine when you are on the edge of a selection...

     

    Spoiler 
    // Name:
// Submenu:
// Author:
// Title:
// Version:
// Desc:
// Keywords:
// URL:
// Help:
#region UICode
ReseedButtonControl Amount1 = 0; // Randomize
#endregion

// Here is the main multi-threaded render function
// The dst canvas is broken up into rectangles and
// your job is to write to each pixel of that rectangle
void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
    // uint seed = RandomNumber.InitializeSeed(RandomNumberRenderSeed, rect.Location);
    // Delete this line if you don't need the selection outline shape
    PdnRegion selectionRegion = EnvironmentParameters.GetSelectionAsPdnRegion();


    // Step through each row of the current rectangle
    for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
    {
        if (IsCancelRequested) return;
        // Step through each pixel on the current row of the rectangle
        for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
        {
            ColorBgra SrcPixel = src[x,y];
            ColorBgra DstPixel = dst[x,y];

            ColorBgra CurrentPixel = SrcPixel;

            if ( (!selectionRegion.IsVisible(x-1,y)) || (!selectionRegion.IsVisible(x,y-1)) || (!selectionRegion.IsVisible(x+1,y)) || (!selectionRegion.IsVisible(x,y+1)) )
            {
                // This pixel is next to the marching ants

                // as an example, I'm changing that pixel to a random color
                CurrentPixel = ColorBgra.FromBgr((byte)RandomNumber.Next(ref RandomNumberRenderSeed,255),(byte)RandomNumber.Next(ref RandomNumberRenderSeed,255),(byte)RandomNumber.Next(ref RandomNumberRenderSeed,255));


            }
            else
            {
                // This pixel is NOT next to the marching ants
            }
            dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel;
        }
    }
}

     

     

    So, select your building outline and run the script.

     

    Hope this helps.
