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.

534 \section{\class{wxPrinter}}\label{wxprinter}
535
536 This class represents the Windows or PostScript printer, and is the vehicle through
537 which printing may be launched by an application. Printing can also
538 be achieved through using of lower functions and classes, but
539 this and associated classes provide a more convenient and general
540 method of printing.

594
595 \func{bool}{Print}{\param{wxWindow *}{parent}, \param{wxPrintout *}{printout}, \param{bool }{prompt=TRUE}}
596
597 Starts the printing process. Provide a parent window, a user-defined wxPrintout object which controls
598 the printing of a document, and whether the print dialog should be invoked first.
599
600 Print could return FALSE if there was a problem initializing the printer device context
601 (current printer not set, for example).

603 \membersection{wxPrinter::PrintDialog}\label{wxprinterprintdialog}
604
605 \func{wxDC*}{PrintDialog}{\param{wxWindow *}{parent}}
606
607 Invokes the print dialog. If successful (the user did not press Cancel
608 and no error occurred), a suitable device context will be returned
609 (otherwise NULL is returned).
610

650 \func{}{wxPrinterDC}{\param{const wxPrintData\& }{printData}}
651
652 Pass a \helpref{wxPrintData}{wxprintdata} object with information
653 necessary for setting up a suitable printer device context. This
654 is the recommended way to construct a wxPrinterDC.
655
656 \func{}{wxPrinterDC}{\param{const wxString\& }{driver}, \param{const wxString\& }{device}, \param{const wxString\& }{output},

658
659 Constructor. With empty strings for the first three arguments, the default printer dialog is
660 displayed. {\it device} indicates the type of printer and {\it output}
661 is an optional file for printing to. The {\it driver} parameter is
662 currently unused. Use the {\it Ok} member to test whether the
663 constructor was successful in creating a useable device context.
664
665 This constructor is deprecated and retained only for backward compatibility.
666
667 \section{\class{wxPrintout}}\label{wxprintout}
668
669 This class encapsulates the functionality of printing out an
670 application document. A new class must be derived and members
671 overridden to respond to calls such as OnPrintPage and HasPage.
672 Instances of this class are passed to wxPrinter::Print or a
673 wxPrintPreview object to initiate printing or previewing.

698 \func{}{\destruct{wxPrintout}}{\void}
699
700 Destructor.
701
702 \membersection{wxPrintout::GetDC}\label{wxprintoutgetdc}
703
704 \func{wxDC *}{GetDC}{\void}
705
706 Returns the device context associated with the printout (given to the printout at start of
707 printing or previewing). This will be a wxPrinterDC if printing under Windows,
708 a wxPostScriptDC if printing on other platforms, and a wxMemoryDC if previewing.
709
710 \membersection{wxPrintout::GetPageInfo}\label{wxprintoutgetpageinfo}
711
712 \func{void}{GetPageInfo}{\param{int *}{minPage}, \param{int *}{maxPage}, \param{int *}{pageFrom}, \param{int *}{pageTo}}
713
714 Called by the framework to obtain information from the application about minimum and maximum page values that
715 the user can select, and the required page range to be printed. By default this
716 returns 1, 32000 for the page minimum and maximum values, and 1, 1 for the required page range.
717
718 If {\it minPage} is zero, the page number controls in the print dialog will be disabled.
719
720 \membersection{wxPrintout::GetPageSizeMM}\label{wxprintoutgetpagesizemm}
721
722 \func{void}{GetPageSizeMM}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}
723
724 Returns the size of the printer page in millimetres.
725
726 \membersection{wxPrintout::GetPageSizePixels}\label{wxprintoutgetpagesizepixels}
727
728 \func{void}{GetPageSizePixels}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}
729
730 Returns the size of the printer page in pixels. These may not be the
731 same as the values returned from \helpref{wxDC::GetSize}{wxdcgetsize} if
732 the printout is being used for previewing, since in this case, a
733 memory device context is used, using a bitmap size reflecting the current
734 preview zoom. The application must take this discrepancy into account if
735 previewing is to be supported.
736
737 \membersection{wxPrintout::GetPPIPrinter}\label{wxprintoutgetppiprinter}
738
739 \func{void}{GetPPIPrinter}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}
740
741 Returns the number of pixels per logical inch of the printer device context.
742 Dividing the printer PPI by the screen PPI can give a suitable scaling
743 factor for drawing text onto the printer. Remember to multiply
744 this by a scaling factor to take the preview DC size into account.
745
746 \membersection{wxPrintout::GetPPIScreen}\label{wxprintoutgetppiscreen}
747
748 \func{void}{GetPPIScreen}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}
749
750 Returns the number of pixels per logical inch of the screen device context.
751 Dividing the printer PPI by the screen PPI can give a suitable scaling
752 factor for drawing text onto the printer. Remember to multiply
753 this by a scaling factor to take the preview DC size into account.
754
755 \membersection{wxPrintout::HasPage}\label{wxprintouthaspage}
756
757 \func{bool}{HasPage}{\param{int}{ pageNum}}
758
759 Should be overriden to return TRUE if the document has this page, or FALSE
760 if not. Returning FALSE signifies the end of the document. By default,
761 HasPage behaves as if the document has only one page.
762
763 \membersection{wxPrintout::IsPreview}\label{wxprintoutispreview}
764
765 \func{bool}{IsPreview}{\void}
766
767 Returns TRUE if the printout is currently being used for previewing.
768
769 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnBeginDocument}\label{wxprintoutonbegindocument}
770
771 \func{bool}{OnBeginDocument}{\param{int}{ startPage}, \param{int}{ endPage}}
772
773 Called by the framework at the start of document printing. Return FALSE from
774 this function cancels the print job. OnBeginDocument is called once for every
775 copy printed.
776
777 The base wxPrintout::OnBeginDocument {\it must} be called (and the return value
778 checked) from within the overriden function, since it calls wxDC::StartDoc.
779
780 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnEndDocument}\label{wxprintoutonenddocument}
781
782 \func{void}{OnEndDocument}{\void}
783
784 Called by the framework at the end of document printing. OnEndDocument
785 is called once for every copy printed.
786
787 The base wxPrintout::OnEndDocument {\it must} be called
788 from within the overriden function, since it calls wxDC::EndDoc.
789
790 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnBeginPrinting}\label{wxprintoutonbeginprinting}
791
792 \func{void}{OnBeginPrinting}{\void}
793
794 Called by the framework at the start of printing. OnBeginPrinting is called once for every
795 print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).
796
797 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnEndPrinting}\label{wxprintoutonendprinting}
798
799 \func{void}{OnEndPrinting}{\void}
800
801 Called by the framework at the end of printing. OnEndPrinting
802 is called once for every print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).
803
804 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPreparePrinting}\label{wxprintoutonprepareprinting}
805
806 \func{void}{OnPreparePrinting}{\void}
807
808 Called once by the framework before any other demands are made of the
809 wxPrintout object. This gives the object an opportunity to calculate the
810 number of pages in the document, for example.
811
812 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPrintPage}\label{wxprintoutonprintpage}
813
814 \func{bool}{OnPrintPage}{\param{int}{ pageNum}}
815
816 Called by the framework when a page should be printed. Returning FALSE cancels
817 the print job. The application can use wxPrintout::GetDC to obtain a device
818 context to draw on.
819
820 \section{\class{wxPrintPreview}}\label{wxprintpreview}
821
822 \overview{Printing framework overview}{printingoverview}
823
824 Objects of this class manage the print preview process. The object is passed
825 a wxPrintout object, and the wxPrintPreview object itself is passed to
826 a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
827 the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
828 immediately after the frame is shown.

851
852 Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
853 used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
854 block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
855 print data.
856
857 If {\it printoutForPrinting} is non-NULL, a {\bf Print...} button will be placed on the
858 preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.
859
860 Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been
861 called, since they will be deleted in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
862 The same does not apply to the {\it data} argument.
863
864 Test the Ok member to check whether the wxPrintPreview object was created correctly.
865 Ok could return FALSE if there was a problem initializing the printer device context
866 (current printer not set, for example).
867
868 \membersection{wxPrintPreview::\destruct{wxPrintPreview}}
869
870 \func{}{\destruct{wxPrinter}}{\void}
871
