If posterizing is turned on and <STRONG>hpagecnt</STRONG> and/or <STRONG>vpagecnt</STRONG> is more than 1, x.y is appended to the filename where x is the horizontal page number and y the vertical page number. Name: <STRONG>hpagecnt</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>PageCnt</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-hpagecnt</STRONG> Is used in combination with <STRONG>posterize</STRONG> to determine over how many pages the output should be distributed. This attribute specifies how many pages should be used hor- izontaly. Any change to this attribute will automati- cally update the "stamp". Defaults to 1. Name: <STRONG>orient</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Orient</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-orient</STRONG> Determines the orientation of the output to the printer (or file). It can take the value "portrait" or "landscape" (default). Changes to this attribute will be reflected immediately in the "stamp". Defaults to "landscape" but will be changed automaticaly to the value deemed appropiate for the current canvas. Setting this attribute when the canvasprintbox is first con- structed (instead of using the "configure" method) will turn off the auto adjustment of this attribute. Name: <STRONG>output</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Output</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-output</STRONG> Specifies where the postscript output should go: to the printer or to a file. Can take on the values "printer" or "file". The corresponding entry-widget will reflect the contents of either the <STRONG>printcmd</STRONG> attribute or the <STRONG>filename</STRONG> attribute. Defaults to "printer". Name: <STRONG>pageSize</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>PageSize</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-pagesize</STRONG> The pagesize the printer supports. Changes to this attribute will be reflected immediately in the "stamp". Defaults to "a4". Name: <STRONG>posterize</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Posterize</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-posterize</STRONG> Indicates if posterizing is turned on or not. Posteriz- ing the output means that it is possible to distribute the output over more than one page. This way it is pos- sible to print a canvas/region which is larger than the specified pagesize without stretching. If used in com- bination with stretching it can be used to "blow up" the contents of a canvas to as large as size as you want (See attributes: hpagecnt and vpagecnt). Any change to this attribute will automatically update the "stamp". Defaults to 0. Name: <STRONG>printCmd</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>PrintCmd</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-printcmd</STRONG> The command to execute when printing the postscript output. The command will get the postscript directed to its standard input (Only when output is set to "printer"). Defaults to "lpr". Name: <STRONG>printRegion</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>PrintRegion</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-printregion</STRONG> A list of four coordinates specifying which part of the canvas to print. An empty list means that the canvas' entire <STRONG>scrollregion</STRONG> should be printed. Any change to this attribute will automatically update the "stamp". Defaults to an empty list. Name: <STRONG>stretch</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Stretch</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-stretch</STRONG> Determines if the output should be stretched to fill the page (as defined by the attribute pagesize) as large as possible. The aspect-ratio of the output will be retained and the output will never fall outside of the boundaries of the page. Defaults to 0 but will be changed automaticaly to the value deemed appropiate for the current canvas. Setting this attribute when the canvasprintbox is first constructed (instead of using the "configure" method) will turn off the auto adjust- ment of this attribute. Name: <STRONG>vPageCnt</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>PageCnt</STRONG> Command-Line Switch: <STRONG>-vpagecnt</STRONG> Is used in combination with "posterize" to determine over how many pages the output should be distributed. This attribute specifies how many pages should be used verticaly. Any change to this attribute will automati- cally update the "stamp". Defaults to 1. </PRE> <H2><HR ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=70% SIZE=3></H2><PRE> </PRE> <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE> Implements a print box for printing the contents of a canvas widget to a printer or a file. It is possible to specify page orientation, the number of pages to print the image on and if the output should be stretched to fit the page. Options exist to control the appearance and actions of the widget. </PRE> <H2>METHODS</H2><PRE> The <STRONG>canvasprintbox</STRONG> command creates a new Tcl command whose name is <EM>pathName</EM>. This command may be used to invoke vari- ous operations on the widget. It has the following general form: <EM>pathName</EM> <EM>option</EM> ?<EM>arg</EM> <EM>arg</EM> ...? <EM>Option</EM> and the <EM>arg</EM>s determine the exact behavior of the com- mand. The following commands are possible for can- vasprintbox widgets: </PRE> <H2>WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS</H2><PRE> <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>cget</STRONG> <EM>option</EM> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by <EM>option</EM>. <EM>Option</EM> may have any of the values accepted by the <STRONG>canvasprintbox</STRONG> command. <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>configure</STRONG> ?<EM>option</EM>? ?<EM>value</EM> <EM>option</EM> <EM>value</EM> ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no <EM>option</EM> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for <EM>pathName</EM> (see <STRONG>Tk_ConfigureInfo</STRONG> for information on the format of this list). If <EM>option</EM> is specified with no <EM>value</EM>, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the correspond- ing sublist of the value returned if no <EM>option</EM> is specified). If one or more <EM>option</EM> - <EM>value</EM> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. <EM>Option</EM> may have any of the values accepted by the <STRONG>canvasprintbox</STRONG> command. <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>getoutput</STRONG> Returns the value of the <STRONG>printercmd</STRONG> or <STRONG>filename</STRONG> option depending on the current setting of <STRONG>output</STRONG>. <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>print</STRONG> Perfrom the actual printing of the canvas using the current settings of all the attributes. Returns a boolean indicating wether the printing was successful or not. <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> Retrieves the current value for all edit fields and updates the stamp accordingly. Is useful for Apply- buttons. <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>setcanvas</STRONG> <EM>canvas</EM> This is used to set the <EM>canvas</EM> that has to be printed. A stamp-sized copy will automatically be drawn to show how the output would look with the current settings. <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>stop</STRONG> Stops the drawing of the "stamp". I'm currently unable to detect when a Canvasprintbox gets destroyed or with- drawn. It's therefore advised that you perform a stop before you do something like that. </PRE> <H2>COMPONENTS</H2><PRE> Name: <STRONG>prtflentry</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Entry</STRONG> The prtflentry component is the entry field for user input of the <STRONG>filename</STRONG> or <STRONG>printer</STRONG> command (depending on the value of <STRONG>output</STRONG>). Name: <STRONG>hpcnt</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Entry</STRONG> The hpcnt component is the entry field for user input of the number of pages to use horizontaly when <STRONG>poster-</STRONG> <STRONG>ize</STRONG> is turned on. Name: <STRONG>vpcnt</STRONG> Class: <STRONG>Entry</STRONG> The vpcnt component is the entry field for user input of the number of pages to use verticaly when <STRONG>posterize</STRONG> is turned on. </PRE> <H2>EXAMPLE</H2><PRE> option add *textBackground GhostWhite canvasprintbox .fsb -orient landscape -stretch 1 pack .fsb -padx 10 -pady 10 -fill both -expand yes </PRE> <H2>AUTHOR</H2><PRE> Tako Schotanus Tako.Schotanus@bouw.tno.nl </PRE> <H2>KEYWORDS</H2><PRE> canvasprintbox, widget </PRE> </BODY> </HTML>
