💖 canvas::pdf — the manual, but make it bestie 💖

okay so bestie, you know canvas::pdf, right? It's from the canvas family over in Tcl/Tk land — the manual calls the whole thing Variations on a canvas and honestly? iconic name, no notes. Anyway, this page is literally just about one lil command that takes your canvas and yeets it into Adobe's PDF vector format. Vector!! Not pixels!! we love a scalable queen 👑

✨ NAME ✨

canvas::pdf — Canvas to PDF. that's it, that's the whole name. short, sweet, slays 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl 8.5

package require Tk 8.5

package require canvas::pdf ?1?

package require pdf4tcl

::canvas::pdf pathName
bestie notice how you need both Tcl 8.5 and Tk 8.5, plus pdf4tcl in the mix. it's a whole squad thing, it's giving group project but in a good way 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this package hands you exactly one command, and that command's whole job — its purpose, its moment, its main character arc — is converting the contents of a canvas into Adobe's PDF vector format. canvas in, PDF out. glow-up complete ✨

🎀 API 🎀

  • ::canvas::pdf pathName — dumps the contents of the canvas at pathName, and what you get back is a string in Adobe's PDF. that's the tea, fr fr 🍓

😭 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 😭
