Session Printing and Saving --------------------------- .. function:: print_session .. tab:: Python Syntax: ``n.print_session(useprinter, "name")`` ``n.print_session(useprinter, "name", useselected)`` ``n.print_session()`` Description: Print a postscript file consisting of certain windows on the screen. If useprinter==1 postscript is piped to the filter given by "name" which should be able to deal with standard input (UNIX). If useprinter==0 the postscript is saved in the file specified by "name". If there is a third arg equal to 1 then the printed windows are those selected and arranged on the paper icon of the :ref:`PWM` and calling this function is equivalent to pressing the :ref:`PWM_Print` button. Otherwise all printable windows are printed in landscape mode with a size such that the screen fits on the paper. If there are no arguments then all the windows are printed in way that works for mac, mswin, and unix. .. tab:: HOC Syntax: ``0 = print_session(useprinter, "name")`` ``0 = print_session(useprinter, "name", useselected)`` ``0 = print_session()`` Description: Print a postscript file consisting of certain windows on the screen. If useprinter==1 postscript is piped to the filter given by "name" which should be able to deal with standard input (UNIX). If useprinter==0 the postscript is saved in the file specified by "name".

If there are no arguments then all the windows are printed in way that works for mac, mswin, and unix. ---- .. function:: save_session .. tab:: Python Syntax: ``n.save_session("filename")`` ``n.save_session("filename", "header")`` Description: Save all the (saveable) windows on the screen to filename. This is equivalent to pressing the :ref:`Session_SaveAll` button on the :ref:`pwm`. If the header argument exists, it is copied to the beginning of the file. .. seealso:: :meth:`PWManager.save` .. tab:: HOC Syntax: ``0 = save_session("filename")`` ``0 = save_session("filename", "header")`` Description: Save all the (saveable) windows on the screen to filename. This is equivalent to pressing the :ref:`Session_SaveAll` button on the :ref:`pwm`. If the header argument exists, it is copied to the beginning of the file. .. seealso:: :meth:`PWManager.save`
