I've created a landscape view with the following bounds:

     (450,0)		    (600,450)
	 ------------------
	|	TOP	   |
	|		   |
	|L		  R|
	|                  |
	|      BOTTOM      |
	 ------------------
     (0,0)		    (600,0)
     
I would like to be able to print this landscape view in portrait mode.
I've experimented with shrinking and rotating the view, printing it and
then rotating it back, and expanding it to the original view.

- PrintView:sender
{
	
    [self scale:2.0/3.0:2.0/3.0];
    [self translate:bounds.size.width/2.0:0.0];
    [self printPSCode:[self rotate:90]];
    [self rotate:-90];
    [self translate:-bounds.size.width/2.0:0.0];
    [self scale:3.0/2.0:3.0/2.0];
    return self;
}

The reason I need to scale the view down is because when I rotate the view,
parts of the view are erased.  What I end up with is a scaled down version
of what is being displayed on the screen, but I'm unable to utilize all of the
space available for portrait mode.  My view seems to be confined to within
a portion of a normal portrait print page.

	|   |	       O|
	|   |	L      M|

Is there a sample program that does something like what I'm trying to do,
or is there an easier way of going about it?
