<p>To output text to a scrolling text area (a field beneath the canvas in WebVPython; the console if using the vpython package in Python), you can use the standard Python <strong>print()</strong> function. Standard Python formatting options are available.</p>
<p>For <strong>WebVPython only</strong>, you can control the width and height of the print region:</p>

<li><p><strong>width</strong> (<em>scalar</em>) – Width of print region.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>height</strong> (<em>scalar</em>) – Height of print region.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>readonly</strong> (<em>boolean</em>) – If <em>True</em>, user cannot edit text in print region. Default <em>True</em> (but user can still copy output text).</p></li>
<li><p><strong>digits</strong> (<em>scalar</em>) – If <em>digits=4</em> then 123.456 will display as 123.4. Default is 6.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>pos</strong> (<em>string</em>) – Position of print area with respect to the canvas. Default is “bottom” (under the canvas). If you set <em>pos=”right”</em> print are will appear to the right of the canvas, assuming the window is wide enough.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>place</strong> (<em>anchor location</em>) – If <em>place=scene.title.anchor</em> print area will be in the title region. <em>scene.caption.anchor</em> is also possible.</p></li>
