Version 9 of Tcl/Tk Printing Support

Updated 2009-05-06 23:06:10 by KBlicharski

This site is considered to be a wish list for the text widget printing support

This is a very complex task. The text widget needs much more work than other widgets. The entire form depends on requirements grabbed from TCL's Community. There are many questions: What options should the export function have? What do we need the most? How to implement it? And many others. At this time I know that text widget is widely used to create reports or text editors, so options which I find useful are:

  • pagination mechanism
  • ability to add headers, footers to pages
  • generated page breaks at user-definable locations
  • ability to do preview before starting printing (see point 5)

And probably many others, depending on user requirements. Maybe a good start point will be to get closer look at Perl's format command (http://www.webreference.com/programming/perl/format/ )
