postscript for 'a4'

[micha2]

I want to create and save a canvas for 'a4'. The result is not so good. I think, that only the 'letter'-format is supported. How can I create an eps-file for 'a4' with tcl/tk?

Do the -pageheight and -pagewidth options of the postscript command can help you?

From the canvas page of the Tk manual:

-pageheight size
Specifies that the Postscript should be scaled in both x and y so that the printed area is size high on the Postscript page. Size consists of a floating-point number followed by c for centimeters, i for inches, m for millimeters, or p or nothing for printer's points (1/72 inch). Defaults to the height of the printed area on the screen. If both -pageheight and -pagewidth are specified then the scale factor from -pagewidth is used (non-uniform scaling is not implemented).

-pagewidth size
Specifies that the Postscript should be scaled in both x and y so that the printed area is size wide on the Postscript page. Size has the same form as for -pageheight. Defaults to the width of the printed area on the screen. If both -pageheight and -pagewidth are specified then the scale factor from -pagewidth is used (non-uniform scaling is not implemented).

(I never used this)
