## DESCRIPTION

**This class provides an interactive widget for setting available options used in printing with the SoPrintAction** and its subclasses. Options include whether to print with hidden lines or not, whether to print using the Landscape format, whether to print to a file or a printer.

## METHODS

	**SoXtPrintDialog(Widget parent = NULL, const char \*name = NULL, SbBool buildInsideParent = TRUE)**\
 	**~SoXtPrintDialog()**\
 Constructors and destructor.

**void**	**setSceneGraph(SoNode \*root )**\
 **SoNode \***	**getSceneGraph()**\
 **void**	**setSceneGraph(SoPath \*path )**\
 **SoPath \***	**getSceneGraphPath()**\
 Sets/gets the root node or path to nodes to be used for printing.

**void**	**setGLRenderAction(const SoGLRenderAction \*act)**\
 **SoGLRenderAction \***	**getGLRenderAction()**\
 Sets/gets the render action to be used when printing.

**void**	**setPrintSize(SbVec2f &inches)**\
 **void**	**setPrintSize(SbVec2s & )**\
 Sets/gets the size of the printed image. This is typically the same size as the window displaying the scene to be printed.

**void**	**setBeforePrintCallback(SoXtPrintDialogCB \*f, void \*userData = NULL)**\
 **void**	**setAfterPrintCallback(SoXtPrintDialogCB \*f, void \*userData = NULL)**\
 Two callbacks are maintained, one which gets called just before a print is executed, and one which gets called after a print is executed. These two methods sets the appropriate callback function (set these to NULL to remove the callback).
