<DL>
<DT>Command-Line Switch: <DD> <B>-filename</B>
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
The file to write the postscript output to (Only when
output is set to "file"). If posterizing is turned on
and <B>hpagecnt</B> and/or <B>vpagecnt</B> is more than 1, x.y is
appended to the filename where x is the horizontal page
number and y the vertical page number.

Is used in combination with <B>posterize</B> to determine over
how many pages the output should be distributed. This
attribute specifies how many pages should be used horizontaly.
Any change to this attribute will automatically
update the "stamp". Defaults to 1.

<P>
</DD>
</DL>
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 constructed
(instead of using the "configure" method) will
turn off the auto adjustment of this attribute.

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 <B>printcmd</B> attribute or the
<B>filename</B> attribute. Defaults to "printer".

<DL>
<DT>Command-Line Switch: <DD> <B>-posterize</B>
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
Indicates if posterizing is turned on or not. Posterizing
the output means that it is possible to distribute
the output over more than one page. This way it is possible
to print a canvas/region which is larger than the
specified pagesize without stretching. If used in combination
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.

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".

</DL>
A list of four coordinates specifying which part of the
canvas to print. An empty list means that the canvas'
entire <B>scrollregion</B> should be printed. Any change to
this attribute will automatically update the "stamp".
Defaults to an empty list.
<P>

<DT>Command-Line Switch: <DD> <B>-stretch</B>
<P>

</DL>
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 adjustment
of this attribute.

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 automatically
update the "stamp". Defaults to 1.

<H2><A NAME="sect7" HREF="#toc7"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
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.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>canvasprintbox</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is <I>pathName</I>. This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general
form:
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <I>option</I> ?<I>arg</I> <I>arg</I> ...?
<P>
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for canvasprintbox
widgets:
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect9" HREF="#toc9"><B>WIDGET-SPECIFIC</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<I>pathName</I> <B>cget</B> <I>option</I><BR>
Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by <I>option</I>. <I>Option</I> may have any of the values
accepted by the <B>canvasprintbox</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I> ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for <I>pathName</I>
(see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B> for information on the format of
this list). If <I>option</I> is specified with no <I>value</I>, then
the command returns a list describing the one named
option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no <I>option</I> is
specified). If one or more <I>option</I> - <I>value</I> 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. <I>Option</I> may have any
of the values accepted by the <B>canvasprintbox</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>getoutput</B><BR>
Returns the value of the <B>printercmd</B> or <B>filename</B> option
depending on the current setting of <B>output</B>.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>print</B><BR>
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.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>refresh</B><BR>
Retrieves the current value for all edit fields and
updates the stamp accordingly. Is useful for Applybuttons.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>setcanvas</B> <I>canvas</I><BR>
This is used to set the <I>canvas</I> that has to be printed.
A stamp-sized copy will automatically be drawn to show
how the output would look with the current settings.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>stop</B><BR>
Stops the drawing of the "stamp". I'm currently unable
to detect when a Canvasprintbox gets destroyed or withdrawn.
It's therefore advised that you perform a stop
before you do something like that.
