Class: Print
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.dijit.Print");
Description
(Added at v2.6)
The Print widget simplifies the process of printing a map using a default or user-defined layout. The Print widget displays a simple button or a button combined with a dropdown list of user-defined layouts. After clicking the print button, a hyperlink to the print page appears in place of the button. If you need more fine-grained control over printing view the PrintTask class.
Note:
- The Print widget requires an ArcGIS Server 10.1 Export Web Map Task.
- The print server does not directly print SVG symbols. Rather, they are converted to PictureMarkerSymbols for display.
- Make certain that any resources to be printed are accessible by the print server. For example, if printing a map containing PictureMarkerSymbols, the URL to these symbols must be accessible to the print server for it to work properly.
