Member Function Documentation

const char* Fl_Paged_Device::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_Surface_Device.

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, Fl_PostScript_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

int Fl_Paged_Device::end_page ( void  )
virtual

To be called at the end of each page.

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

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::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]leftIf non-null, *left is set to the left margin size.
[out]topIf non-null, *top is set to the top margin size.
[out]rightIf non-null, *right is set to the right margin size.
[out]bottomIf non-null, *bottom is set to the bottom margin size.

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::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]xHorizontal position in page coordinates of the desired origin of graphics functions.
[in]ySame as above, vertically.

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::origin ( int *  x,
int *  y 
)
virtual

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

Parameters
[out]xIf non-null, *x is set to the horizontal page offset of graphics origin.
[out]ySame as above, vertically.

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::print_widget ( Fl_Widget widget,
int  delta_x = 0,
int  delta_y = 0 
)
virtual

Draws the widget on the printed page.

The widget's position on the printed page is determined by the last call to origin() and by the optional delta_x and delta_y arguments. Its dimensions are in points unless there was a previous call to scale().

Parameters
[in]widgetAny FLTK widget (e.g., standard, custom, window).
[in]delta_xOptional horizontal offset for positioning the widget relatively to the current origin of graphics functions.
[in]delta_ySame as above, vertically.

Reimplemented in Fl_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::print_window ( Fl_Window win,
int  x_offset = 0,
int  y_offset = 0 
)

Prints a window with its title bar and frame if any.

x_offset and y_offset are optional coordinates of where to position the window top left. Equivalent to print_widget() if win is a subwindow or has no border. Use Fl_Window::decorated_w() and Fl_Window::decorated_h() to get the size of the printed window.

void Fl_Paged_Device::print_window_part ( Fl_Window win,
int  x,
int  y,
int  w,
int  h,
int  delta_x = 0,
int  delta_y = 0 
)
virtual

Prints a rectangular part of an on-screen window.

Parameters
winThe window from where to capture.
xThe rectangle left
yThe rectangle top
wThe rectangle width
hThe rectangle height
delta_xOptional horizontal offset from current graphics origin where to print the captured rectangle.
delta_yAs above, vertically.

Reimplemented in Fl_Printer.

int Fl_Paged_Device::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 in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::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
angleRotation angle in counter-clockwise degrees.

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::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_xHorizontal dimensions of plot are multiplied by this quantity.
scale_ySame as above, vertically. The value 0. is equivalent to setting scale_y = scale_x. Thus, scale(factor); is equivalent to scale(factor, factor);

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

int Fl_Paged_Device::start_job ( int  pagecount,
int *  frompage = NULL,
int *  topage = NULL 
)
virtual

Starts a print job.

Parameters
[in]pagecountthe total number of pages of the job
[out]frompageif non-null, *frompage is set to the first page the user wants printed
[out]topageif non-null, *topage is set to the last page the user wants printed
Returns
0 if OK, non-zero if any error

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, Fl_PostScript_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

int Fl_Paged_Device::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 in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.

void Fl_Paged_Device::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 in Fl_PostScript_File_Device, Fl_Printer, and Fl_System_Printer.
