GI.Gtk.Objects.PrintContext

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

GtkPrintContext objects gets passed to the beginPrint, endPrint, requestPageSetup and drawPage signals on the PrintOperation.

#g:signal:drawPage") callback

C code

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.

Synopsis

Exported types

class (GObject o, IsDescendantOf PrintContext o) => IsPrintContext o Source #

Type class for types which can be safely cast to PrintContext, for instance with toPrintContext.

Instance details

Defined in GI.Gtk.Objects.PrintContext

toPrintContext :: (MonadIO m, IsPrintContext o) => o -> m PrintContext Source #

Cast to PrintContext, for types for which this is known to be safe. For general casts, use castTo.

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.
