## Detailed Description

This class holds a variety of information related to printers and printer device contexts.

This class is used to create a wxPrinterDC and a wxPostScriptDC. It is also used as a data member of wxPrintDialogData and wxPageSetupDialogData, as part of the mechanism for transferring data between the print dialogs and the application.

Remarks:

The following functions are specific to PostScript printing and have not yet been documented:

        const wxString& GetPrinterCommand() const ;
        const wxString& GetPrinterOptions() const ;
        const wxString& GetPreviewCommand() const ;
        const wxString& GetFilename() const ;
        const wxString& GetFontMetricPath() const ;
        double GetPrinterScaleX() const ;
        double GetPrinterScaleY() const ;
        long GetPrinterTranslateX() const ;
        long GetPrinterTranslateY() const ;
        // wxPRINT_MODE_PREVIEW, wxPRINT_MODE_FILE, wxPRINT_MODE_PRINTER
        wxPrintMode GetPrintMode() const ;

        void SetPrinterCommand(const wxString& command) ;
        void SetPrinterOptions(const wxString& options) ;
        void SetPreviewCommand(const wxString& command) ;
        void SetFilename(const wxString& filename) ;
        void SetFontMetricPath(const wxString& path) ;
        void SetPrinterScaleX(double x) ;
        void SetPrinterScaleY(double y) ;
        void SetPrinterScaling(double x, double y) ;
        void SetPrinterTranslateX(long x) ;
        void SetPrinterTranslateY(long y) ;
        void SetPrinterTranslation(long x, long y) ;
        void SetPrintMode(wxPrintMode printMode) ;

List of all members.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxPrintData::wxPrintData | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

wxPrintData::wxPrintData | ( | const wxPrintData & | data | ) |

Copy constructor.

virtual wxPrintData::~wxPrintData | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

wxPrintBin wxPrintData::GetBin | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the current bin (papersource).

By default, the system is left to select the bin (`wxPRINTBIN_DEFAULT` is returned).

See SetBin() for the full list of bin values.

bool wxPrintData::GetCollate | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if collation is on.

bool wxPrintData::GetColour | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if colour printing is on.

wxDuplexMode wxPrintData::GetDuplex | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the duplex mode.

One of wxDUPLEX_SIMPLEX, wxDUPLEX_HORIZONTAL, wxDUPLEX_VERTICAL.

int wxPrintData::GetNoCopies | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the number of copies requested by the user.

wxPrintOrientation wxPrintData::GetOrientation | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the orientation.

This can be wxLANDSCAPE or wxPORTRAIT.

wxPaperSize wxPrintData::GetPaperId | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the paper size id.

See also:
  SetPaperId()

const wxString& wxPrintData::GetPrinterName | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the printer name.

If the printer name is the empty string, it indicates that the default printer should be used.

wxPrintQuality wxPrintData::GetQuality | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the current print quality.

This can be a positive integer, denoting the number of dots per inch, or one of the following identifiers:

- wxPRINT_QUALITY_HIGH
- wxPRINT_QUALITY_MEDIUM
- wxPRINT_QUALITY_LOW
- wxPRINT_QUALITY_DRAFT

On input you should pass one of these identifiers, but on return you may get back a positive integer indicating the current resolution setting.

bool wxPrintData::IsOk | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if the print data is valid for using in print dialogs.

This can return false on Windows if the current printer is not set, for example. On all other platforms, it returns true.

wxPrintData& wxPrintData::operator= | ( | const wxPrintData & | data | ) |

Assigns print data to this object.

void wxPrintData::SetBin | ( | wxPrintBin | flag | ) |

Sets the current bin.

void wxPrintData::SetCollate | ( | bool | flag | ) |

Sets collation to on or off.

void wxPrintData::SetColour | ( | bool | flag | ) |

Sets colour printing on or off.

void wxPrintData::SetDuplex | ( | wxDuplexMode | mode | ) |

Returns the duplex mode.

One of wxDUPLEX_SIMPLEX, wxDUPLEX_HORIZONTAL, wxDUPLEX_VERTICAL.

void wxPrintData::SetNoCopies | ( | int | n | ) |

Sets the default number of copies to be printed out.

void wxPrintData::SetOrientation | ( | wxPrintOrientation | orientation | ) |

Sets the orientation.

This can be wxLANDSCAPE or wxPORTRAIT.

void wxPrintData::SetPaperId | ( | wxPaperSize | paperId | ) |

Sets the paper id.

This indicates the type of paper to be used. For a mapping between paper id, paper size and string name, see wxPrintPaperDatabase in `"paper.h"` (not yet documented).

void wxPrintData::SetPrinterName | ( | const wxString & | printerName | ) |

Sets the printer name.

This can be the empty string to indicate that the default printer should be used.

void wxPrintData::SetQuality | ( | wxPrintQuality | quality | ) |

Sets the desired print quality.

This can be a positive integer, denoting the number of dots per inch, or one of the following identifiers:

- wxPRINT_QUALITY_HIGH
- wxPRINT_QUALITY_MEDIUM
- wxPRINT_QUALITY_LOW
- wxPRINT_QUALITY_DRAFT

On input you should pass one of these identifiers, but on return you may get back a positive integer indicating the current resolution setting.
