Custom Dialog Boxes and Page Formats
QuickDraw GX allows you to customize some of its printing features to address the needs of your particular application:

- You can add panels to QuickDraw GX dialog boxes, to provide special features that require additional user specification. For example, your application can add a panel that provides special color options for the user to select, such as color separation and color choices.
- You can manipulate the objects that handle page formatting, allowing users to specify unique formats for individual pages of a printable document. For example, your application can allow a user to create and print a single document that consists of an address page on an envelope, a business letter on a page in portrait orientation, and a spreadsheet on a page in landscape orientation. See Figure 1-12 for an example of this.
