2
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.

757 (otherwise NULL is returned -- call

807 is the recommended way to construct a wxPrinterDC.

811
812 Constructor. With empty strings for the first three arguments, the default printer dialog is
813 displayed. {\it device} indicates the type of printer and {\it output}
814 is an optional file for printing to. The {\it driver} parameter is
815 currently unused. Use the {\it Ok} member to test whether the

822 This class encapsulates the functionality of printing out an

863 Returns the device context associated with the printout (given to the printout at start of

871
872 Called by the framework to obtain information from the application about minimum and maximum page values that
873 the user can select, and the required page range to be printed. By default this
874 returns 1, 32000 for the page minimum and maximum values, and 1, 1 for the required page range.
875
876 If {\it minPage} is zero, the page number controls in the print dialog will be disabled.

904 Returns the size of the printer page in pixels. These may not be the
905 same as the values returned from \helpref{wxDC::GetSize}{wxdcgetsize} if
906 the printout is being used for previewing, since in this case, a
907 memory device context is used, using a bitmap size reflecting the current

1034 a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
1035 the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
1036 immediately after the frame is shown.

1061 Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
1062 used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
1063 block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
1064 print data.
1065
1066 If {\it printoutForPrinting} is non-NULL, a {\bf Print...} button will be placed on the
1067 preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.
1068
1069 Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been
1070 called, since they will be deleted in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
1071 The same does not apply to the {\it data} argument.
