## WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

## DESCRIPTION

The canvasprintdialog command creates a print dialog 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.

## METHODS

The canvasprintdialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:

    pathName option ?arg arg ...?

Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for canvasprintdialog widgets:

## WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

pathName cget option
  Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the canvasprintdialog command.

pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
  Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, 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 option is specified). If one or more option-value 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. Option may have any of the values accepted by the canvasprintdialog command.
