pub struct PrintContext { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

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 pango::Layout and pango::Context objects that match the font metrics of the cairo surface.

GtkPrintContext objects gets passed to the signal::PrintOperation::begin-print, signal::PrintOperation::end-print, signal::PrintOperation::request-page-setup and signal::PrintOperation::draw-page signals on the PrintOperation.

Using GtkPrintContext in a signal::PrintOperation::draw-page callback

⚠️ The following code is in C ⚠️

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 (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_pango_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.

Sets a new cairo context on a print context.

This function is intended to be used when implementing an internal print preview, it is not needed for printing, since GTK+ itself creates a suitable cairo context in that case.

cr

dpi_x

the horizontal resolution to use with cr

dpi_y

the vertical resolution to use with cr
