3This class holds a variety of information related to printers and
4printer device contexts. This class is used to create a wxPrinterDC
5and a wxPostScriptDC. It is also used as a data member of wxPrintDialogData
6and wxPageSetupDialogData, as part of the mechanism for transferring data
7between the print dialogs and the application.

842\section{\class{wxPrintout}}\label{wxprintout}
843
f415cab9
JS
844This class encapsulates the functionality of printing out an application
845document. A new class must be derived and members overridden to respond to calls
846such as OnPrintPage and HasPage and to render the print image onto an associated
847\helpref{wxDC}{wxdc}. Instances of this class are passed to wxPrinter::Print or
848to a wxPrintPreview object to initiate printing or previewing.
849
850Your derived wxPrintout is responsible for drawing both the preview image and
851the printed page. If your windows' drawing routines accept an arbitrary DC as an
852argument, you can re-use those routines within your wxPrintout subclass to draw
853the printout image. You may also add additional drawing elements within your
854wxPrintout subclass, like headers, footers, and/or page numbers. However, the
855image on the printed page will often differ from the image drawn on the screen,
856as will the print preview image -- not just in the presence of headers and
857footers, but typically in scale. A high-resolution printer presents a much
858larger drawing surface (i.e., a higher-resolution DC); a zoomed-out preview
859image presents a much smaller drawing surface (lower-resolution DC). By using
860the routines FitThisSizeToXXX() and/or MapScreenSizeToXXX() within your
861wxPrintout subclass to set the user scale and origin of the associated DC, you
862can easily use a single drawing routine to draw on your application's windows,
863to create the print preview image, and to create the printed paper image, and
864achieve a common appearance to the preview image and the printed page.

952previewing, a memory device context is used, which uses a bitmap size reflecting

965
966Returns the rectangle that corresponds to the entire paper in pixels, called the
967\em{paper rectangle}. This distinction between paper rectangle and page
968rectangle reflects the fact that most printers cannot print all the way to the
969edge of the paper. The page rectangle is a rectangle whose top left corner is at
970(0,0) and whose width and height are given by
971\helpref{wxDC::GetPageSizePixels}{wxprintoutgetpagesizepixels}. On MSW and Mac,
972the page rectangle gives the printable area of the paper, while the paper
973rectangle represents the entire paper, including non-printable borders. Thus,
974the rectangle returned by GetPaperRectPixels will have a top left corner whose
975coordinates are small negative numbers and the bottom right corner will have
976values somewhat larger than the width and height given by
977\helpref{wxDC::GetPageSizePixels}{wxprintoutgetpagesizepixels}. On other
978platforms and for PostScript printing, the paper is treated as if its entire
979area were printable, so this function will return the same rectangle as the page
980rectangle.

1116your underlying model is floating-point and you want to achieve maximum drawing
1117precision on high-resolution printers. (Note that while the underlying drawing
1118model of Mac OS X is floating-point, wxWidgets's drawing model scales from integer
