print_window

print_window 
[ -printer s_name ]

Description

Outputs the current window’s view to a printer.

Alpha blending is not supported on print devices. Space-based Router simulates opacity by using hatch patterns. If you do not want any fill, lower your opacity (set_layer_opacity) towards zero before printing. This command cannot be used in batch/non-graphics mode.

The GUI equivalent for this command is File—Print.

Arguments

Specifies the output printer. If you do not specify this argument, the Print dialog appears and lets you specify the printer.

Value Returned
