}}\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.

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

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

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

1131 scale is set to (
1,

1132 want to do your own scaling prior to calling wxDC drawing calls, for example, if
1133 your underlying model is floating-point and you want to achieve maximum drawing
1134 precision on high-resolution printers. (Note that while the underlying drawing
1135 model of Mac OS X is floating-point, wxWidgets's drawing model scales from integer
1136 coordinates.) You can use the GetLogicalXXXRect() routines below to obtain the

document printing. OnEndDocument
1204 is called once for every copy printed.
1206 The base wxPrintout::OnEndDocument
{\it must
} be called
1207 from within the overridden function, since it calls wxDC::EndDoc.
1210 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnBeginPrinting
}\label{wxprintoutonbeginprinting
}
1212 \func{void
}{OnBeginPrinting
}{\void}
1214 Called by the framework at the start of printing. OnBeginPrinting is called once for every
1215 print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).
1218 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnEndPrinting
}\label{wxprintoutonendprinting
}
1220 \func{void
}{OnEndPrinting
}{\void}
1222 Called by the framework at the end of printing. OnEndPrinting
1223 is called once for every print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).
1226 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPreparePrinting
}\label{wxprintoutonprepareprinting
}
1228 \func{void
}{OnPreparePrinting
}{\void}
1230 Called once by the framework before any other demands are made of the
1231 wxPrintout object. This gives the object an opportunity to calculate the
1232 number of pages in the
document, for example.
1235 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPrintPage
}\label{wxprintoutonprintpage
}
1237 \func{bool
}{OnPrintPage
}{\param{int
}{ pageNum
}}
1239 Called by the framework when a page should be printed. Returning false cancels
1240 the print job. The application can use wxPrintout::GetDC to obtain a device
1243 \section{\class{wxPrintPreview
}}\label{wxprintpreview
}
1245 Objects of this class manage the print preview process. The object is passed
1246 a wxPrintout object, and the wxPrintPreview object itself is passed to
1247 a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
1248 the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
1249 immediately after the frame is shown.

1278 Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
1279 used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
1280 block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
1283 If
{\it printoutForPrinting
} is non-NULL, a
{\bf Print...
} button will be placed on the
1284 preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.
1286 Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been
1287 called, since they will be deleted in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
1288 The same does not apply to the
{\it data
} argument.
1290 Test the Ok member to check whether the wxPrintPreview object was created correctly.
1291 Ok could return false if there was a problem initializing the printer device context
1292 (current printer not set, for example).
1295 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::
\destruct{wxPrintPreview
}}\label{wxprintpreviewdtor
}
1297 \func{}{\destruct{wxPrinter
}}{\void}
1299 Destructor. Deletes both print preview objects, so do not destroy these objects
1300 in your application.
1303 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::GetCanvas

1305 \func{wxPreviewCanvas*
}{GetCanvas

1348 \func{wxPrintout *

1350 Gets the printout object to be used for printing from within the preview interface,
1351 or NULL if none exists.
1354 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::IsOk
}\label{wxprintpreviewisok
}
1356 \func{bool
}{Ok
}{\void}
1358 Returns true if the wxPrintPreview is valid, false otherwise. It could return false if there was a
1359 problem initializing the printer device context (current printer not set, for example).
1362 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::PaintPage
}\label{wxprintpreviewpaintpage

1364 \func{bool
}{PaintPage
}{\param{wxPreviewCanvas *
}{canvas

1366 This refreshes the preview window with the preview image.
1367 It must be called from the preview window's OnPaint member.
1369 The implementation simply blits the preview bitmap onto
1370 the canvas, creating a new preview bitmap if none exists.
1373 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::Print
}\label{wxprintpreviewprint
}
1375 \func{bool
}{Print
}{\param{bool
}{prompt

1377 Invokes the print process using the second wxPrintout object
1378 supplied in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
1379 Will normally be called by the
{\bf Print...
} panel item on the
1380 preview frame's control bar.
1382 Returns false in case of error -- call
1383 \helpref{wxPrinter::GetLastError
