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.

577 this and associated classes provide a more convenient and general
578 method of printing.

656 the printing of a document, and whether the print dialog should be invoked first.

669 (otherwise NULL is returned -- call

716 is the recommended way to construct a wxPrinterDC.

720
721 Constructor. With empty strings for the first three arguments, the default printer dialog is
722 displayed. {\it device} indicates the type of printer and {\it output}
723 is an optional file for printing to. The {\it driver} parameter is
724 currently unused. Use the {\it Ok} member to test whether the

769 Returns the device context associated with the printout (given to the printout at start of
770 printing or previewing). This will be a wxPrinterDC if printing under Windows,
771 a wxPostScriptDC if printing on other platforms, and a wxMemoryDC if previewing.

776
777 Called by the framework to obtain information from the application about minimum and maximum page values that
778 the user can select, and the required page range to be printed. By default this
779 returns 1, 32000 for the page minimum and maximum values, and 1, 1 for the required page range.
780
781 If {\it minPage} is zero, the page number controls in the print dialog will be disabled.

808 same as the values returned from \helpref{wxDC::GetSize}{wxdcgetsize} if
809 the printout is being used for previewing, since in this case, a
810 memory device context is used, using a bitmap size reflecting the current

858 if not. Returning FALSE signifies the end of the document. By default,
859 HasPage behaves as if the document has only one page.
860

871 Called by the framework at the start of document printing. Return FALSE from
872 this function cancels the print job. OnBeginDocument is called once for every
873 copy printed.

876 checked) from within the overridden function, since it calls wxDC::StartDoc.

906 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPreparePrinting}\label{wxprintoutonprepareprinting}
907
908 \func{void}{OnPreparePrinting}{\void}

910 Called once by the framework before any other demands are made of the
911 wxPrintout object. This gives the object an opportunity to calculate the
912 number of pages in the document, for example.
913
914 \membersection{wxPrintout::OnPrintPage}\label{wxprintoutonprintpage}
915
916 \func{bool}{OnPrintPage}{\param{int}{ pageNum}}
917
918 Called by the framework when a page should be printed. Returning FALSE cancels
919 the print job. The application can use wxPrintout::GetDC to obtain a device
920 context to draw on.
921
922 \section{\class{wxPrintPreview}}\label{wxprintpreview}
923
924 Objects of this class manage the print preview process. The object is passed
925 a wxPrintout object, and the wxPrintPreview object itself is passed to
926 a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
927 the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
928 immediately after the frame is shown.

952 Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
953 used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
954 block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
955 print data.
956
957 If {\it printoutForPrinting} is non-NULL, a {\bf Print...} button will be placed on the
958 preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.
959
960 Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been
961 called, since they will be deleted in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
962 The same does not apply to the {\it data} argument.
963
964 Test the Ok member to check whether the wxPrintPreview object was created correctly.
965 Ok could return FALSE if there was a problem initializing the printer device context
966 (current printer not set, for example).
