Detailed Description

Print support under MSWindows and Mac OS.

Class Fl_System_Printer is implemented only on the MSWindows and Mac OS platforms. It has no public constructor. Use Fl_Printer instead that is cross-platform and has the same API.

Member Function Documentation

◆ class_name()

const char * Fl_System_Printer::class_name ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the name of the class of this object.

Use of the class_name() function is discouraged because it will be removed from future FLTK versions.

The class of an instance of an Fl_Device subclass can be checked with code such as:

if ( instance->class_name() == Fl_Printer::class_id ) { ... }

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ end_job()

void Fl_System_Printer::end_job ( void )

virtual

To be called at the end of a print job.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ end_page()

int Fl_System_Printer::end_page ( void )

virtual

To be called at the end of each page.

Returns: 0 if OK, non-zero if any error.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ margins()

void Fl_System_Printer::margins	(	int *	left,
		int *	top,
		int *	right,
		int *	bottom
	)

virtual

Computes the dimensions of margins that lie between the printable page area and the full page.

Values are in the same unit as that used by FLTK drawing functions. They are changed by scale() calls.

Parameters

[out]	left	If non-null, *left is set to the left margin size.
[out]	top	If non-null, *top is set to the top margin size.
[out]	right	If non-null, *right is set to the right margin size.
[out]	bottom	If non-null, *bottom is set to the bottom margin size.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ origin() [1/2]

void Fl_System_Printer::origin	(	int *	x,
		int *	y
	)

virtual

Computes the page coordinates of the current origin of graphics functions.

Parameters

[out]	x	If non-null, *x is set to the horizontal page offset of graphics origin.
[out]	y	Same as above, vertically.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ origin() [2/2]

void Fl_System_Printer::origin	(	int	x,
		int	y
	)

virtual

Sets the position in page coordinates of the origin of graphics functions.

Arguments should be expressed relatively to the result of a previous printable_rect() call. That is, printable_rect(&w, &h); origin(w/2, 0); sets the graphics origin at the top center of the page printable area. Origin() calls are not affected by rotate() calls. Successive origin() calls don't combine their effects.

Parameters

[in]	x	Horizontal position in page coordinates of the desired origin of graphics functions.
[in]	y	Same as above, vertically.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ printable_rect()

int Fl_System_Printer::printable_rect	(	int *	w,
		int *	h
	)

virtual

Computes the width and height of the printable area of the page.

Values are in the same unit as that used by FLTK drawing functions, are unchanged by calls to origin(), but are changed by scale() calls. Values account for the user-selected paper type and print orientation.

Returns: 0 if OK, non-zero if any error

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ rotate()

void Fl_System_Printer::rotate ( float angle )

virtual

Rotates the graphics operations relatively to paper.

The rotation is centered on the current graphics origin. Successive rotate() calls don't combine their effects.

Parameters

angle Rotation angle in counter-clockwise degrees.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ scale()

void Fl_System_Printer::scale	(	float	scale_x,
		float	scale_y = `0.`
	)

virtual

Changes the scaling of page coordinates.

This function also resets the origin of graphics functions at top left of printable page area. After a scale() call, do a printable_rect() call to get the new dimensions of the printable page area. Successive scale() calls don't combine their effects.

Parameters

scale_x	Horizontal dimensions of plot are multiplied by this quantity.
scale_y	Same as above, vertically. The value 0. is equivalent to setting `scale_y` = `scale_x`. Thus, scale(factor); is equivalent to scale(factor, factor);

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ start_job()

int Fl_System_Printer::start_job	(	int	pagecount,
		int *	frompage = `NULL`,
		int *	topage = `NULL`
	)

virtual

Starts a print job.

Parameters

[in]	pagecount	the total number of pages of the job (or 0 if you don't know the number of pages)
[out]	frompage	if non-null, *frompage is set to the first page the user wants printed
[out]	topage	if non-null, *topage is set to the last page the user wants printed

Returns: 0 if OK, non-zero if any error

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ start_page()

int Fl_System_Printer::start_page ( void )

virtual

Starts a new printed page.

The page coordinates are initially in points, i.e., 1/72 inch, and with origin at the top left of the printable page area.

Returns: 0 if OK, non-zero if any error

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ translate()

void Fl_System_Printer::translate	(	int	x,
		int	y
	)

virtual

Translates the current graphics origin accounting for the current rotation.

This function is only useful after a rotate() call. Each translate() call must be matched by an untranslate() call. Successive translate() calls add up their effects.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

◆ untranslate()

void Fl_System_Printer::untranslate ( void )

virtual

Undoes the effect of a previous translate() call.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.
