Detailed Description

Provides an OS-independent interface to printing under MSWindows and Mac OS X.

This class provides an OS-independent interface to printing under MSWindows and Mac OS X only. It allows to use all FLTK drawing, color, and text functions, and to have them operate on printed page(s). FLTK clip functions should not be used in a print context, member function setclip() is to be used instead.

Member Function Documentation

int Fl_Native_Printer::endpage

(

void

)

To be called at the end of each page.

Returns:

0 iff error.

int Fl_Native_Printer::getprintablerect	(	int *	x,
		int *	y,
		int *	w,
		int *	h
	)

Computes the origin and size of the printable area of the page.

Values are in the same unit as that used by FLTK drawing functions. This unit accounts for the effect of the startpage() function when getprintablerect() is called after startpage().

Returns:

0 iff error.

int Fl_Native_Printer::setclip	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	w,
		int	h
	)

Sets the clip zone for further drawing operations.

A new clip call resets any previous one.

Returns:

0 iff error.

int Fl_Native_Printer::startjob	(	int	pagecount,
		int *	frompage,
		int *	topage
	)

Starts a print job.

Parameters:

	pagecount	the total number of pages of the job
	frompage	is returned set to the first page the user wants printed
	topage	is returned set to the last page the user wants printed

Returns:

0 iff OK

int Fl_Native_Printer::startpage	(	int	left_margin = 0,
		int	top_margin = 0
	)

Starts a new printed page.

Parameters:

	left_margin	the offset from the left border of the printable page area that will have 0 coordinate for FLTK drawing functions
	top_margin	the offset from the top border of the printable page area that will have 0 coordinate for FLTK drawing functions

Returns:

0 iff error
