## 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 *arg*s 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.
