in thread $canvas->postscript method - unexpected result

:)
Logically, it supposes to work but no, I think postscript method is not smart enough to split the file just by specify smaller size for width and height.
I gonna look for utilities that you said.
Thanks.

    This 2 page split works for me on linux. It needs a slight anchor or border adjustment, but it splits the pages.
    #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; my $mw=MainWindow->new(-title=>"Print out the canvas"); my $c=$mw->Scrolled("Canvas")->pack(-expand=>1,-fill=>'both'); my $canvas=$c->Subwidget("canvas"); $canvas->createLine(100,100,20,20,-arrow=>'both',-arrowshape=>[10,10,1 +0]); $canvas->createOval(100,80,65,75,-fill=>"blue"); $canvas->createRectangle(30,50,60,80, -fill=>"red",-width=>5); $canvas->createText(150,1100,-text=>"check postscript",-justify=>"left +"); $canvas->createOval(150,1150,300,1300,-fill=>"blue"); $canvas->createRectangle(150,1300,400,1350, -fill=>"red",-width=>5); $canvas->configure(-scrollregion=>[$canvas->bbox("all")]); $canvas->update(); my $button=$canvas->Button(-text=>"Print",-command=>\&buttonDo) ->pack(-side=>"bottom"); MainLoop; sub buttonDo{ $canvas->update; my @capture=(); my ($x0,$y0,$x1,$y1)=$canvas->bbox('all'); my $width = $x1-$x0; my $height = ($y1-$y0)/2; print "$width $height\n"; #first page @capture=('-x'=>$x0,'-y'=>$y0,-height=>$height,-width=>$width +); $canvas -> postscript(-colormode=>'color', -file=>"$0a.ps", -rotate=>0, @capture); # second page @capture=('-x'=>$x0,'-y'=>$height ,-height=>$height,-width=>$ +width); print $y0 + ($y1-$y0/2),"\n"; $canvas -> postscript(-colormode=>'color', -file=>"$0b.ps", -rotate=>0, @capture); print "saved\n"; }

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth CandyGram for Mongo
      Many thanks for your help zentara!!
      It works finally.
