There are two main, non exclusive, ways to use it.
  • Print any widget (standard, custom, Fl_Window, Fl_Gl_Window) as it appears on screen, with optional translation and scaling. This is done by calling print_widget() or print_window_part().
  • Use a series of FLTK graphics commands (e.g., font, text, lines, colors, clip) to compose a page appropriately shaped for printing.
In both cases, begin by start_job(), start_page(), printable_rect() and origin() calls and finish by end_page() and end_job() calls.

Platform specifics

  • Xlib-based platforms (e.g., Linux, Unix): this class is implemented as a subclass of Fl_PSfile_Device. Use the static public attributes of this class to set the print dialog to other languages than English. For example, the "Printer:" dialog item Fl_Printer::dialog_printer can be set to French with: \code Fl_Printer::dialog_printer = "Imprimante:"; Fl_Printer myprinter; myprinter.start_job(); \endcode Use Fl_PSfile_Device::file_chooser_title to customize the title of the file chooser dialog that opens when using the "Print To File" option of the print dialog. Class Fl_RGB_Image prints but looses its transparency if it has one.
  • MSWindows platform: Transparent Fl_RGB_Image 's don't print with exact transparency on most printers. Fl_RGB_Image 's don't rotate() well. A workaround is to use the print_window_part() call.
  • Mac OS X platform: all graphics requests print as on display.
