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, scaling and rotation. This is done by calling print_widget(), print_window() or print_window_part().
  • Use a series of FLTK graphics commands (e.g., font, text, lines, colors, clip, image) 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.

Example of use: print a widget centered in a page \code #include #include int width, height; Fl_Widget *widget = ... // a widget we want printed Fl_Printer *printer = new Fl_Printer(); if (printer->start_job(1) == 0) { printer->start_page(); printer->printable_rect(&width, &height); fl_color(FL_BLACK); fl_line_style(FL_SOLID, 2); fl_rect(0, 0, width, height); fl_font(FL_COURIER, 12); time_t now; time(&now); fl_draw(ctime(&now), 0, fl_height()); printer->origin(width/2, height/2); printer->print_widget(widget, -widget->w()/2, -widget->h()/2); printer->end_page(); printer->end_job(); } delete printer; \endcode Platform specifics

  • Unix/Linux platforms: Unless it has been previously changed, the default paper size is A4. To change that, press the "Properties" button of the "Print" dialog window opened by an Fl_Printer::start_job() call. This opens a "Printer Properties" window where it's possible to select the adequate paper size. Finally press the "Save" button therein to assign the chosen paper size to the chosen printer for this and all further print operations.
    Class Fl_RGB_Image prints but loses its transparency if it has one. See class Fl_PostScript_Graphics_Driver for a description of how UTF-8 strings appear in print. 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:"; \endcode before creation of the Fl_Printer object. Use Fl_PostScript_File_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.
  • 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.
