wx.PrintData

This class holds a variety of information related to printers and printer device contexts.

This class is used to create a wx.PrinterDC and a wx.PostScriptDC. It is also used as a data member of wx.PrintDialogData and wx.PageSetupDialogData, as part of the mechanism for transferring data between the print dialogs and the application.

Class API

class wx.PrintData(Object)

Possible constructors:

PrintData()

PrintData(data)

This class holds a variety of information related to printers and printer device contexts.

Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

__init__ (self)

Default constructor.

---

__init__ (self, data)

Copy constructor.

Parameters

data (wx.PrintData) –

---

---

GetBin(self)

Returns the current bin (papersource).

By default, the system is left to select the bin ( PRINTBIN_DEFAULT is returned).

See SetBin for the full list of bin values.

Return type

wx.PrintBin

---

GetCollate(self)

Returns True if collation is on.

Return type

bool

---

GetColour(self)

Returns True if colour printing is on.

Return type

bool

---

GetDuplex(self)

Returns the duplex mode.

One of wx.DUPLEX_SIMPLEX, wx.DUPLEX_HORIZONTAL, wx.DUPLEX_VERTICAL.

Return type

wx.DuplexMode

---

GetFilename(self)

Return type

string

---

GetNoCopies(self)

Returns the number of copies requested by the user.

Return type

int

---

GetOrientation(self)

Gets the orientation.

This can be wx.LANDSCAPE or wx.PORTRAIT.

Return type

wx.PrintOrientation

---

GetPaperId(self)

Returns the paper size id.

Return type

wx.PaperSize

See also

SetPaperId

---

GetPaperSize(self)

Return type

wx.Size

---

GetPrintMode(self)

Return type

wx.PrintMode

---

GetPrinterName(self)

Returns the printer name.

If the printer name is the empty string, it indicates that the default printer should be used.

Return type

string

---

GetPrivData(self)

Return type

PyObject

---

GetQuality(self)

Returns the current print quality.

This can be a positive integer, denoting the number of dots per inch, or one of the following identifiers:

• wx.PRINT_QUALITY_HIGH

• wx.PRINT_QUALITY_MEDIUM

• wx.PRINT_QUALITY_LOW

• wx.PRINT_QUALITY_DRAFT

On input you should pass one of these identifiers, but on return you may get back a positive integer indicating the current resolution setting.

Return type

wx.PrintQuality

---

IsOk(self)

Returns True if the print data is valid for using in print dialogs.

This can return False on Windows if the current printer is not set, for example. On all other platforms, it returns True.

Return type

bool

---

SetBin(self, flag)

Sets the current bin.

Parameters

flag (PrintBin) –

---

SetCollate(self, flag)

Sets collation to on or off.

Parameters

flag (bool) –

---

SetColour(self, flag)

Sets colour printing on or off.

Parameters

flag (bool) –

---

SetDuplex(self, mode)

Returns the duplex mode.

One of wx.DUPLEX_SIMPLEX, wx.DUPLEX_HORIZONTAL, wx.DUPLEX_VERTICAL.

Parameters

mode (DuplexMode) –

---

SetFilename(self, filename)

Parameters

filename (string) –

---

SetNoCopies(self, n)

Sets the default number of copies to be printed out.

Parameters

n (int) –

---

SetOrientation(self, orientation)

Sets the orientation.

This can be wx.LANDSCAPE or wx.PORTRAIT.

Parameters

orientation (PrintOrientation) –

---

SetPaperId(self, paperId)

Sets the paper id.

This indicates the type of paper to be used. For a mapping between paper id, paper size and string name, see PrintPaperDatabase in "paper.h" (not yet documented).

Parameters

paperId (PaperSize) –

See also

SetPaperSize

---

SetPaperSize(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

SetPaperSize (self, size)

Sets custom paper size.

This method can be used to set up custom paper size. When using a standard size, prefer to use SetPaperId instead.

Parameters

size (wx.Size) –

---

SetPaperSize (self, sz)

---

---

SetPrintMode(self, printMode)

Parameters
