sfprint - Print graphical view of charts

Syntax

sfprint
sfprint(objects)
sfprint(objects,format)
sfprint(objects,format,output_option)
sfprint(objects,format,output_option,print_entire_chart)

Description

sfprint prints the current chart to a default printer.

sfprint(objects) prints all charts in objects to a default printer.

sfprint(objects,format) prints all charts in objects in the specified format to a default printer.

sfprint(objects,format,output_option) prints all charts in objects in the specified format to the file or printer specified in output_option.

sfprint(objects,format,output_option,print_entire_chart) prints all charts in objects in the specified format to the file or printer specified in output_option. Prints a complete or current view of charts as specified in print_entire_chart.

If the format argument is absent, sfprint generates a PostScript file to the default printer. If the output_option argument is absent, the name of the chart in the current folder becomes the output file name.
