\func{}{wxPrinterDC}{\param{const wxString\& }{driver}, \param{const wxString\& }{device}, \param{const wxString\& }{output},
 \param{const bool }{interactive = TRUE}, \param{int }{orientation = wxPORTRAIT}}

Constructor. With empty strings for the first three arguments, the default printer dialog is
displayed. {\it device} indicates the type of printer and {\it output}
is an optional file for printing to. The {\it driver} parameter is
currently unused.  Use the {\it Ok} member to test whether the
constructor was successful in creating a useable device context.

\section{\class{wxPrintout}}\label{wxprintout}

This class encapsulates the functionality of printing out an
application document. A new class must be derived and members
overridden to respond to calls such as OnPrintPage and HasPage.
Instances of this class are passed to wxPrinter::Print or a
wxPrintPreview object to initiate printing or previewing.

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxPrintout::wxPrintout}

\func{}{wxPrintout}{\param{const wxString\& }{title = "Printout"}}

Constructor. Pass an optional title argument (currently unused).

\membersection{wxPrintout::\destruct{wxPrintout}}

\func{}{\destruct{wxPrintout}}{\void}

Destructor.

\membersection{wxPrintout::GetDC}\label{wxprintoutgetdc}

\func{wxDC *}{GetDC}{\void}

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

\membersection{wxPrintout::GetPageInfo}\label{wxprintoutgetpageinfo}

\func{void}{GetPageInfo}{\param{int *}{minPage}, \param{int *}{maxPage}, \param{int *}{pageFrom}, \param{int *}{pageTo}}

Called by the framework to obtain information from the application about minimum and maximum page values that
the user can select, and the required page range to be printed. By default this
returns 1, 32000 for the page minimum and maximum values, and 1, 1 for the required page range.

If {\it minPage} is zero, the page number controls in the print dialog will be disabled.

\membersection{wxPrintout::GetPageSizeMM}\label{wxprintoutgetpagesizemm}

\func{void}{GetPageSizeMM}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}

Returns the size of the printer page in millimetres.

\membersection{wxPrintout::GetPageSizePixels}\label{wxprintoutgetpagesizepixels}

\func{void}{GetPageSizePixels}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}

Returns the size of the printer page in pixels. These may not be the
same as the values returned from \helpref{wxDC::GetSize}{wxdcgetsize} if
the printout is being used for previewing, since in this case, a
memory device context is used, using a bitmap size reflecting the current
preview zoom. The application must take this discrepancy into account if
previewing is to be supported.

\membersection{wxPrintout::GetPPIPrinter}\label{wxprintoutgetppiprinter}

\func{void}{GetPPIPrinter}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}

Returns the number of pixels per logical inch of the printer device context.
Dividing the printer PPI by the screen PPI can give a suitable scaling
factor for drawing text onto the printer. Remember to multiply
this by a scaling factor to take the preview DC size into account.

\membersection{wxPrintout::GetPPIScreen}\label{wxprintoutgetppiscreen}

\func{void}{GetPPIScreen}{\param{int *}{w}, \param{int *}{h}}

Returns the number of pixels per logical inch of the screen device context.
Dividing the printer PPI by the screen PPI can give a suitable scaling
factor for drawing text onto the printer. Remember to multiply
this by a scaling factor to take the preview DC size into account.

\membersection{wxPrintout::HasPage}\label{wxprintouthaspage}

\func{bool}{HasPage}{\param{int}{ pageNum}}

Should be overriden to return TRUE if the document has this page, or FALSE
if not. Returning FALSE signifies the end of the document. By default,
HasPage behaves as if the document has only one page.

\membersection{wxPrintout::IsPreview}\label{wxprintoutispreview}

\func{bool}{IsPreview}{\void}

Returns TRUE if the printout is currently being used for previewing.

\membersection{wxPrintout::OnBeginDocument}\label{wxprintoutonbegindocument}

\func{bool}{OnBeginDocument}{\param{int}{ startPage}, \param{int}{ endPage}}

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

The base wxPrintout::OnBeginDocument {\it must} be called (and the return value
checked) from within the overriden function, since it calls wxDC::StartDoc.

\membersection{wxPrintout::OnEndDocument}\label{wxprintoutonenddocument}

\func{void}{OnEndDocument}{\void}

Called by the framework at the end of document printing. OnEndDocument
is called once for every copy printed.

The base wxPrintout::OnEndDocument {\it must} be called
from within the overriden function, since it calls wxDC::EndDoc.

\membersection{wxPrintout::OnBeginPrinting}\label{wxprintoutonbeginprinting}

\func{void}{OnBeginPrinting}{\void}

Called by the framework at the start of printing. OnBeginPrinting is called once for every
print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).

\membersection{wxPrintout::OnEndPrinting}\label{wxprintoutonendprinting}

\func{void}{OnEndPrinting}{\void}

Called by the framework at the end of printing. OnEndPrinting
is called once for every print job (regardless of how many copies are being printed).

\membersection{wxPrintout::OnPreparePrinting}\label{wxprintoutonprepareprinting}

\func{void}{OnPreparePrinting}{\void}

Called once by the framework before any other demands are made of the
wxPrintout object. This gives the object an opportunity to calculate the
number of pages in the document, for example.

\membersection{wxPrintout::OnPrintPage}\label{wxprintoutonprintpage}

\func{bool}{OnPrintPage}{\param{int}{ pageNum}}

Called by the framework when a page should be printed. Returning FALSE cancels
the print job. The application can use wxPrintout::GetDC to obtain a device
context to draw on.

\section{\class{wxPrintPreview}}\label{wxprintpreview}

\overview{Printing framework overview}{printingoverview}

Objects of this class manage the print preview process. The object is passed
a wxPrintout object, and the wxPrintPreview object itself is passed to
a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
immediately after the frame is shown.

\membersection{wxPrintPreview::wxPrintPreview}

\func{}{wxPrintPreview}{\param{wxPrintout* }{printout}, \param{wxPrintout* }{printoutForPrinting},
\param{wxPrintData* }{data=NULL}}

Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
print data.

If {\it printoutForPrinting} is non-NULL, a {\bf Print...} button will be placed on the
preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.

Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been
called, since they will be deleted in the wxPrintPreview constructor.
The same does not apply to the {\it data} argument.

Test the Ok member to check whether the wxPrintPreview object was created correctly.
Ok could return FALSE if there was a problem initializing the printer device context
(current printer not set, for example).

\membersection{wxPrintPreview::\destruct{wxPrintPreview}}

\func{}{\destruct{wxPrinter}}{\void}

Destructor. Deletes both print preview objects, so do not destroy these objects
in your application.

\membersection{wxPrintPreview::GetPrintoutForPrinting}\label{wxprintpreviewgetprintoutforprinting}

\func{wxPrintout *}{GetPrintoutForPrinting}{\void}

Gets the printout object to be used for printing from within the preview interface,
or NULL if none exists.

\membersection{wxPrintPreview::Ok}\label{wxprintpreviewok}

\func{bool}{Ok}{\void}

Returns TRUE if the wxPrintPreview is valid, FALSE otherwise. It could return FALSE if there was a
problem initializing the printer device context (current printer not set, for example).

\membersection{wxPrintPreview::PaintPage}\label{wxprintpreviewpaintpage}

\func{bool}{PaintPage}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}

This refreshes the preview window with the preview image.
