PpPrintWidget()

Print a widget

Synopsis:

void PpPrintWidget( PpPrintContext_t *pc, 
                    PtWidget_t *widget,
                    PhPoint_t const *trans, 
                    PhRect_t const *clip_rect, 
                    ulong_t resize );

Arguments:

pc

A print context obtained via PpCreatePC() and initialized via PpSetPC() and PpStartJob().

widget

The widget to be printed. This widget doesn't need to be realized to be printed and won't be clipped by its parent while printing.

trans

If non-NULL, this argument points to a PhPoint_t structure that's used to set the print context's offsets. These offsets define the amounts by which to translate widgets when drawing them into the print context.

Specifying a translation equal to the position of the widget makes the widget print at 0,0 on the printed output.

clip_rect

If non-NULL, a pointer to a PhRect_t structure that defines the rectangle to be clipped to.

This isn't implemented yet; set clip_rect to NULL.

resize

A value that indicates any special resizing to be done:

Pt_PP_RESIZE_WIDGET--set the dimension of the widget to match the drawable area of the destination page. The widget is resized to fit the page.
Pt_PP_NO_RESIZE --don't modify the source size of the print context or the widget's dimensions. It's important to set the source size of the print context before calling PpPrintWidget() with this option.
Pt_PP_RESIZE_PC -- set the source size of the print context to the size of the widget, The result is scaled to fit the destination page, but the aspect ratio of the widget is preserved.

Description:

This function prints the specified widget using the provided print context. The widget doesn't need to be realized in order to be printed.

Examples:

    
#include <Ph.h>
#include <Pt.h>
   
int
main()
{
    int              n;
    int              do_preview_only = 1;
    PhArea_t         area, sev_area = {{ 0,0 },{400,400}};
    PpPrintContext_t *pc;
    PtArg_t          args[10];
    PtWidget_t       *window, *button;
    PhDim_t          dim = { 750, 1000 };

    PtInit( NULL );
    pc = PpCreatePC();
   
    /* Set override on print context to do preview mode only */
       PpSetPC( pc, Pp_PC_DO_PREVIEW, &do_preview_only, 0 );
      
    PpStartJob( pc );
       
    PtSetArg( &args[0], Pt_ARG_AREA, &sev_area, 0 );
    window = PtCreateWidget( PtWindow, Pt_NO_PARENT, 1, args );

    n = 0;
    PtSetArg( &args[n++], Pt_ARG_AREA, &sev_area, 0 );
    PtSetArg( &args[n++], Pt_ARG_FILL_COLOR, Pg_BLUE, 0);
    PtSetArg( &args[n++], Pt_ARG_TEXT_STRING, "Test Button", 0 );
    button = PtCreateWidget( PtButton, Pt_DEFAULT_PARENT, n, args );

    PtRealizeWidget( window );

    PpContinueJob( pc );
   
    PtWidgetArea( button, &area);

    PpSetCanvas( pc, dim );
    PpPrintWidget( pc, button, &area.pos, NULL, Pt_PP_NO_RESIZE );
   
    PpEndJob( pc );

    PtMainLoop();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
