print-check.scm would be the general place to begin.. One problem is
that the UI does not provide a simple means to add new "check types"
and doesn't have knowledge of stubs.
However, you could add a new type to the gui (unfortunately you need
to add it in a couple of places :( ) and add stubs to that check type.
The scheme is just controlling postscript commands, so you'd just need
to add a few lines to print the stub items:
(if print-stubs
(begin
... print stub info here ...
))
I'll note that the whole check-printing infrastructure needs to be
re-done (or at least re-worked). You're welcome to take on that whole
task if you wish, at which point you are welcome to reduce the
dependency on scheme.
HOWEVER, I would caution you that scheme it EXTREMELY useful in
defining the various check formats -- it would just be more useful if
you didn't have to change three files to add a new type.
