## Detailed Description

A PrintContext encapsulates context information that is required when drawing pages for printing, such as the cairo context and important parameters like page size and resolution.

It also lets you easily create Pango::Layout and Pango::Context objects that match the font metrics of the cairo surface.

PrintContext objects gets passed to the begin-print, end-print, request-page-setup and draw-page signals on the PrintOperation.

|  | double | dpi_x,
|  | double | dpi_y
| ) |  |

Sets a new cairo context on a print context.

This function is intended to be used when implementing an internal print preview, it is not needed for printing, since GTK itself creates a suitable cairo context in that case.

Parameters

  cr | The cairo context.
  dpi_x | The horizontal resolution to use with cr.
  dpi_y | The vertical resolution to use with cr.

## ◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::PrintContext > wrap | ( | GtkPrintContext * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
