## Detailed Description

A printer device context is specific to MSW and Mac, and allows access to any printer with a Windows or Macintosh driver.

See wxDC for further information on device contexts, and wxDC::GetSize() for advice on achieving the correct scaling for the page.

List of all members.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxPrinterDC::wxPrinterDC | ( | const wxPrintData & | printData | ) |

Constructor.

Pass a wxPrintData object with information necessary for setting up a suitable printer device context. This is the recommended way to construct a wxPrinterDC. Make sure you specify a reference to a wxPrintData object, not a pointer - you may not even get a warning if you pass a pointer instead.

## Member Function Documentation

wxRect wxPrinterDC::GetPaperRect | ( |  | ) | const

Return the rectangle in device coordinates that corresponds to the full paper area, including the nonprinting regions of the paper.

The point (0,0) in device coordinates is the top left corner of the page rectangle, which is the printable area on MSW and Mac. The coordinates of the top left corner of the paper rectangle will therefore have small negative values, while the bottom right coordinates will be somewhat larger than the values returned by wxDC::GetSize().
