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.

859\section{\class{wxPrintout}}\label{wxprintout}
860
f415cab9
JS
861This class encapsulates the functionality of printing out an application
862document. A new class must be derived and members overridden to respond to calls
863such as OnPrintPage and HasPage and to render the print image onto an associated
864\helpref{wxDC}{wxdc}. Instances of this class are passed to wxPrinter::Print or
865to a wxPrintPreview object to initiate printing or previewing.
866
867Your derived wxPrintout is responsible for drawing both the preview image and
868the printed page. If your windows' drawing routines accept an arbitrary DC as an
869argument, you can re-use those routines within your wxPrintout subclass to draw
870the printout image. You may also add additional drawing elements within your
871wxPrintout subclass, like headers, footers, and/or page numbers. However, the
872image on the printed page will often differ from the image drawn on the screen,
873as will the print preview image -- not just in the presence of headers and
874footers, but typically in scale. A high-resolution printer presents a much
875larger drawing surface (i.e., a higher-resolution DC); a zoomed-out preview
876image presents a much smaller drawing surface (lower-resolution DC). By using
877the routines FitThisSizeToXXX() and/or MapScreenSizeToXXX() within your
878wxPrintout subclass to set the user scale and origin of the associated DC, you
879can easily use a single drawing routine to draw on your application's windows,
880to create the print preview image, and to create the printed paper image, and
881achieve a common appearance to the preview image and the printed page.

982
983Returns the rectangle that corresponds to the entire paper in pixels, called the
984\em{paper rectangle}. This distinction between paper rectangle and page
985rectangle reflects the fact that most printers cannot print all the way to the
986edge of the paper. The page rectangle is a rectangle whose top left corner is at
987(0,0) and whose width and height are given by
988\helpref{wxDC::GetPageSizePixels}{wxprintoutgetpagesizepixels}. On MSW and Mac,
989the page rectangle gives the printable area of the paper, while the paper
990rectangle represents the entire paper, including non-printable borders. Thus,
991the rectangle returned by GetPaperRectPixels will have a top left corner whose
992coordinates are small negative numbers and the bottom right corner will have
993values somewhat larger than the width and height given by
994\helpref{wxDC::GetPageSizePixels}{wxprintoutgetpagesizepixels}. On other
995platforms and for PostScript printing, the paper is treated as if its entire
996area were printable, so this function will return the same rectangle as the page
997rectangle.
