| Description: |
Using Peter Spjuth's pdf4tcl package it is very easy to produce PDF files containing the displayed diagram. A possible use is for inclusion in Latex or Word documents.
Typical code to create the PDF file:
after 1000 {
set pdf1 [::pdf4tcl::new %AUTO% -paper {9.5c 6.0c}]
$pdf1 canvas .c -width 9.2c
$pdf1 write -file $filename.pdf
}
(The [after] is to make sure the canvas has been drawn completely)

Fixed canvas_pdf.tcl - Version bumped to 1.0.1. Fixed application.tcl - Version bumped to 1.3. NOTE: Fixed your application patch, was not working as indented. 'package present' throws an error when the package is not present. You have to catch it, not [llength] on the error message you see in an interactive tclsh. Revision [04b7108ed8]. Committed. Pushed. Note: This is on branch "dia-pdf". arjenmarkus added on 2014-12-15 08:12:02: I have attached a patch for application.tcl - to show an error on screen if Tk has been loaded. arjenmarkus added on 2014-12-14 15:41:28: I found a small bug in canvas_pdf.tcl -- .canvas should have been $canvas. (Something unexpected happening with fossil - to be reported separately - prevents me from applying it directly). Also, a small problem on Windows with the application submodule: errors are not shown when using wish (there is no proper terminal to show the error message in). Also to be reported separately. aku added on 2014-12-11 19:51:23: Commit [100fa48b6b] Fixed oops. Updated pkgIndex.tcl to know about "canvas::pdf". aku added on 2014-12-11 19:49:22: Commit [2446bda270]. Pushed. This is on branch "dia-pdf". Implemented a package "canvas::pdf" which encapsulates the above code in a form usable to "diagram::application", i.e. the apps/diagram-viewer. After installing the extended tklib the dia-viewer should automatically accept "pdf" as a new output format. Please test. | |||
