Detailed Description

A PrintContext 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.

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

Since gtkmm 2.10:

void Gtk::PrintContext::set_cairo_context ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Context > &  cr,
double  dpi_x,
double  dpi_y 
)

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.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Parameters
crThe cairo context.
dpi_xThe horizontal resolution to use with cr.
dpi_yThe vertical resolution to use with cr.

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters
objectThe C instance.
take_copyFalse if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
