GtkPrintContext
Encapsulates context for drawing pages
A GtkPrintContext encapsulates context information that is required when
drawing pages for printing, such as the cairo context and important
parameters like page size and resolution. It also lets you easily
create #PangoLayout and #PangoContext objects that match the font metrics
of the cairo surface.
GtkPrintContext objects gets passed to the ::begin-print, ::end-print,
::request-page-setup and ::draw-page signals on the #GtkPrintOperation.
Using GtkPrintContext in a ::draw-page callback
static void
draw_page (GtkPrintOperation *operation,
GtkPrintContext *context,
int page_nr)
{
cairo_t *cr;
PangoLayout *layout;
PangoFontDescription *desc;
cr = gtk_print_context_get_cairo (context);
/* Draw a red rectangle, as wide as the paper (inside the margins) */
cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 1.0, 0, 0);
cairo_rectangle (cr, 0, 0, gtk_print_context_get_width (context), 50);
cairo_fill (cr);
/* Draw some lines */
cairo_move_to (cr, 20, 10);
cairo_line_to (cr, 40, 20);
cairo_arc (cr, 60, 60, 20, 0, M_PI);
cairo_line_to (cr, 80, 20);
cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 0, 0, 0);
cairo_set_line_width (cr, 5);
cairo_set_line_cap (cr, CAIRO_LINE_CAP_ROUND);
cairo_set_line_join (cr, CAIRO_LINE_JOIN_ROUND);
cairo_stroke (cr);
/* Draw some text */
layout = gtk_print_context_create_layout (context);
pango_layout_set_text (layout, "Hello World! Printing is easy", -1);
desc = pango_font_description_from_string ("sans 28");
pango_layout_set_font_description (layout, desc);
pango_font_description_free (desc);
cairo_move_to (cr, 30, 20);
pango_cairo_layout_path (cr, layout);
/* Font Outline */
cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 0.93, 1.0, 0.47);
cairo_set_line_width (cr, 0.5);
cairo_stroke_preserve (cr);
/* Font Fill */
cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 0, 0.0, 1.0);
cairo_fill (cr);
g_object_unref (layout);
}
Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.
