444 such as OnPrintPage and HasPage and to render the print image onto an associated
445 wxDC. Instances of this class are passed to wxPrinter::Print or
446 to a wxPrintPreview object to initiate printing or previewing.
447
448 Your derived wxPrintout is responsible for drawing both the preview image and
449 the printed page. If your windows' drawing routines accept an arbitrary DC as an
450 argument, you can re-use those routines within your wxPrintout subclass to draw
451 the printout image. You may also add additional drawing elements within your
452 wxPrintout subclass, like headers, footers, and/or page numbers. However, the
453 image on the printed page will often differ from the image drawn on the screen,
454 as will the print preview image -- not just in the presence of headers and
455 footers, but typically in scale. A high-resolution printer presents a much
456 larger drawing surface (i.e., a higher-resolution DC); a zoomed-out preview
457 image presents a much smaller drawing surface (lower-resolution DC). By using
458 the routines FitThisSizeToXXX() and/or MapScreenSizeToXXX() within your
459 wxPrintout subclass to set the user scale and origin of the associated DC, you
460 can easily use a single drawing routine to draw on your application's windows,
461 to create the print preview image, and to create the printed paper image, and
462 achieve a common appearance to the preview image and the printed page.
