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

849 Return the rectangle in device coordinates that corresponds to the full paper
850 area, including the nonprinting regions of the paper. The point (
0,
0) in device
851 coordinates is the top left corner of the page rectangle, which is the printable
852 area on MSW and Mac. The coordinates of the top left corner of the paper
853 rectangle will therefore have small negative values, while the bottom right
854 coordinates will be somewhat larger than the values returned by
855 \helpref{wxDC::GetSize
}{wxdcgetsize
}.
858 \section{\class{wxPrintout
}}\label{wxprintout
}
860 This class encapsulates the functionality of printing out an application
861 document. A new class must be derived and members overridden to respond to calls
862 such as OnPrintPage and HasPage and to render the print image onto an associated
863 \helpref{wxDC
}{wxdc
}. Instances of this class are passed to wxPrinter::Print or
864 to a wxPrintPreview object to initiate printing or previewing.
866 Your derived wxPrintout is responsible for drawing both the preview image and
867 the printed page. If your windows' drawing routines accept an arbitrary DC as an
868 argument, you can re-use those routines within your wxPrintout subclass to draw
869 the printout image. You may also add additional drawing elements within your
870 wxPrintout subclass, like headers, footers, and/or page numbers. However, the
871 image on the printed page will often differ from the image drawn on the screen,
872 as will the print preview image -- not just in the presence of headers and
873 footers, but typically in scale. A high-resolution printer presents a much
874 larger drawing surface (i.e., a higher-resolution DC); a zoomed-out preview
875 image presents a much smaller drawing surface (lower-resolution DC). By using
876 the routines FitThisSizeToXXX() and/or MapScreenSizeToXXX() within your
877 wxPrintout subclass to set the user scale and origin of the associated DC, you
878 can easily use a single drawing routine to draw on your application's windows,
879 to create the print preview image, and to create the printed paper image, and
880 achieve a common appearance to the preview image and the printed page.

932 and maximum page values that the user can select, and the required page range to

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

1099 a

1130 scale is set to (
1,
1) and the device origin is set to (
0,
0). Use this if you
1131 want to do your own scaling prior to calling wxDC drawing calls, for example, if
1132 your underlying model is floating-point and you want to achieve maximum drawing
1133 precision on high-resolution printers. (Note that while the underlying drawing
1134 model of Mac OS X is floating-point, wxWidgets's drawing model scales from integer
1135 coordinates.) You can use the GetLogicalXXXRect() routines below to obtain the

1202 Called by the framework at the end of
document printing. OnEndDocument
1203 is called once for every copy printed.
1205 The base wxPrintout::OnEndDocument
{\it must
} be called
1206 from within the overridden function, since it calls wxDC::EndDoc.
1209 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnBeginPrinting
}\label{wxprintoutonbeginprinting
}
1211 \func{void
}{OnBeginPrinting
}{\void}
1213 Called by the framework at the start of printing. OnBeginPrinting is called once for every
1214 print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).
1217 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnEndPrinting
}\label{wxprintoutonendprinting
}
1219 \func{void
}{OnEndPrinting
}{\void}
1221 Called by the framework at the end of printing. OnEndPrinting
1222 is called once for every print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).
1225 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPreparePrinting
}\label{wxprintoutonprepareprinting
}
1227 \func{void
}{OnPreparePrinting
}{\void}
1229 Called once by the framework before any other demands are made of the
1230 wxPrintout object. This gives the object an opportunity to calculate the
1231 number of pages in the
document, for example.
1234 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPrintPage
}\label{wxprintoutonprintpage
}
1236 \func{bool
}{OnPrintPage
}{\param{int
}{ pageNum
}}
1238 Called by the framework when a page should be printed. Returning false cancels
1239 the print job. The application can use wxPrintout::GetDC to obtain a device
1242 \section{\class{wxPrintPreview
}}\label{wxprintpreview
}
1244 Objects of this class manage the print preview process. The object is passed
1245 a wxPrintout object, and the wxPrintPreview object itself is passed to
1246 a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
1247 the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
1248 immediately after the frame is shown.

}{printoutForPrinting

1275 \param{wxPrintData*
}{data=NULL

1277 Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
1278 used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
1279 block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
1282 If
{\it printoutForPrinting
} is non-NULL, a
{\bf Print...
} button will be placed on the
1283 preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.
1285 Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been
1286 called, since they will be deleted in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
1287 The same does not apply to the
{\it data
} argument.
1289 Test the Ok member to check whether the wxPrintPreview object was created correctly.
1290 Ok could return false if there was a problem initializing the printer device context
1291 (current printer not set, for example).
1294 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::
\destruct{wxPrintPreview
}}\label{wxprintpreviewdtor
}
1296 \func{}{\destruct{wxPrinter
}}{\void}
1298 Destructor. Deletes both print preview objects, so do not destroy these objects
1299 in your application.
1302 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::GetCanvas
}\label{wxprintpreviewgetcanvas
}
1304 \func{wxPreviewCanvas*
}{GetCanvas

1306 Gets the preview window used for displaying the print preview image.
1309 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::GetCurrentPage
}\label{wxprintpreviewgetcurrentpage
}
1311 \func{int

}
1347 \func{wxPrintout *

1349 Gets the printout object to be used for printing from within the preview interface,
1350 or NULL if none exists.
1353 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::IsOk
}\label{wxprintpreviewisok
}
1355 \func{bool
}{Ok
}{\void}
1357 Returns true if the wxPrintPreview is valid, false otherwise. It could return false if there was a
1358 problem initializing the printer device context (current printer not set, for example).
1361 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::PaintPage
}\label{wxprintpreviewpaintpage
}
1363 \func{bool
}{PaintPage
}{\param{wxPreviewCanvas *
}{canvas
},
\param{wxDC&
}{dc
}}
1365 This refreshes the preview window with the preview image.
1366 It must be called from the preview window's OnPaint member.
1368 The implementation simply blits the preview bitmap onto
1369 the canvas, creating a new preview bitmap if none exists.
1372 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::Print
}\label{wxprintpreviewprint
}
1374 \func{bool
}{Print
}{\param{bool
}{prompt
}}
1376 Invokes the print process using the second wxPrintout object
1377 supplied in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
1378 Will normally be called by the
{\bf Print...
} panel item on the
1379 preview frame's control bar.
1381 Returns false in case of error -- call
1382 \helpref{wxPrinter::GetLastError
}{wxprintergetlasterror

1383 information about the kind of the error.
