Printing

The final part of this tutorial shows you how to print the contents of the Tkgraph Canvas on a piece of paper. Tkgraph can convert the contents of the Canvas to Postscript format and then optionally send the postscript to any postscript-compatible printer.

Go to the File menu and select Print page. This will cause a print dialog box to open up. We won't discuss every detail of the print dialog here, just some of the important ones. You'll notice there are buttons for sending the output to either a file (as Postscript) or directly to a printer. There is also an area where you can select the paper orientation, either landscape or Portrait. Go ahead and press the Print button. Your layout should be sent to the printer and you will have a nice hardcopy of your work.
