GnomePrintContext

typedef struct _GnomePrintContext GnomePrintContext;

gnome_print_context_new ()

GnomePrintContext * gnome_print_context_new             (GnomePrintConfig *config);

Create new printing context from config. You have to have set all the options/settings beforehand, as changing the config of an existing context has undefined results.

Also, if creating the context by hand, it completely ignores layout and orientation value. If you need those, use GnomePrintJob. The later also can create output context for you, so in most cases you may want to ignore gnome_print_context_new at all.

gnome_print_context_close ()

gint                gnome_print_context_close           (GnomePrintContext *pc);

Informs given GnomePrintContext that application has finished print job. From that point on, pc has to be considered illegal pointer, and any further printing operation with it may kill application. Some printing contexts may not start printing before context is closed.

gnome_print_newpath ()

gint                gnome_print_newpath                 (GnomePrintContext *pc);

Resets currentpath to empty path. As currentpoint is defined as the last point of open path segment, is also erases currentpoint.

                                                         gdouble y);

Adds new straight line segment from currentpoint to x,y to currentpath. Moves currentpoint to x,y. If currentpoint is not defined, returns GNOME_PRINT_ERROR_NOCURRENTPOINT.

gnome_print_curveto ()

gint                gnome_print_curveto                 (GnomePrintContext *pc,

                                                         gdouble y3);

Adds new cubig bezier segment with control points x1,y1 and x2,y2 and endpoint x3,y3 to currentpath. Moves currentpoint to x3,y3. If currentpoint is not defined, returns GNOME_PRINT_ERROR_NOCURRENTPOINT.

gnome_print_closepath ()

gint                gnome_print_closepath               (GnomePrintContext *pc);

If currentpath is empty, returns GNOME_PRINT_ERROR_NOCURRENTPATH. Stroked path is always closed, so currentpoint is erased.

                                                         gboolean append);

Adds all bpath segments up to ART_END to currentpath. If append is false, currentpath is cleared first, otherwise segments are appended to existing path. This is identical to adding all segments by hand, so the final state of currentpoint depends on segments processed.

gnome_print_vpath ()

gint                gnome_print_vpath                   (GnomePrintContext *pc,

Adds all vpath line segments up to ART_END to currentpath. If append is false, currentpath is cleared first, otherwise segments are appended to existing path. This is identical to adding all segments by hand, so the final state of currentpoint depends on segments processed.

Sets line width in graphic state to given value. Value is given in user coordinates, so effective line width depends on CTM at the moment of gnome_print_stroke or gnome_print_strokepath. Line width is always uniform in all directions, regardless of stretch factor of CTM. Default line width is 1.0 in user coordinates.

gnome_print_setmiterlimit ()

gint                gnome_print_setmiterlimit           (GnomePrintContext *pc,

Sets line dashing to given pattern. If n_dash is odd, the result is, as if actual number of segments is 2 times bigger, and 2 copies of dash arrays concatenated. If n_values is 0, line is set solid. Dash segment lengths are given in user coordinates, so the actual dash lengths depend on CTM at the time of gnome_print_stroke or gnome_print_strokepath. Dashing is always uniform in all directions, regardless of the stretching factor of CTM. Default is solid line.

Appends matrix to current transformation matrix (CTM). The resulting transformation from user coordinates to page coordinates is, as if coordinates would first be transformed by matrix, and the results by CTM.

Saves current graphic state (transformation, color, line properties, font) into stack (push). Values itself remain unchanged. You can later restore saved values, using gnome_print_grestore, but not over page boundaries.

Starts new output page with name. Naming is used for interactive contexts like GnomePrintPreview and Document Structuring Convention conformant PostScript output. This function has to be called before any drawing methods and immediately after each gnome_print_showpage albeit the last one. It also resets graphic state values (transformation, color, line properties, font), so one has to define these again at the beginning of each page.

gint                gnome_print_showpage                (GnomePrintContext *pc);

Finishes rendering of current page, and marks it as shown. All subsequent drawing methods will fail, until new page is started with gnome_print_newpage. Printing contexts may process drawing methods differently - some do rendering immediately (like GnomePrintPreview), some accumulate all operators to internal stack, and only after gnome_print_showpage is any output produced.

gnome_print_line_stroked ()

gint                gnome_print_line_stroked            (GnomePrintContext *pc,
