## Detailed Description

## Member Function Documentation

const char* Fl_PostScript_File_Device::class_name | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Returns the name of the class of this object.

Use of the class_name() function is discouraged because it will be removed from future FLTK versions.

The class of an instance of an Fl_Device subclass can be checked with code such as:

if ( instance->class_name() == Fl_Printer::class_id ) { ... }

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

Reimplemented in Fl_PostScript_Printer.

int Fl_PostScript_File_Device::end_page | ( | void |  | ) |
| virtual

To be called at the end of each page.

Returns
  0 if OK, non-zero if any error.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

void Fl_PostScript_File_Device::margins | ( | int * | left,
|  | int * | top,
|  | int * | right,
|  | int * | bottom
| ) |  |
| virtual

Computes the dimensions of margins that lie between the printable page area and the full page.

Values are in the same unit as that used by FLTK drawing functions. They are changed by scale() calls.

Parameters

  [out] | left | If non-null, *left is set to the left margin size.
  [out] | top | If non-null, *top is set to the top margin size.
  [out] | right | If non-null, *right is set to the right margin size.
  [out] | bottom | If non-null, *bottom is set to the bottom margin size.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

void Fl_PostScript_File_Device::origin | ( | int * | x,
|  | int * | y
| ) |  |
| virtual

Computes the page coordinates of the current origin of graphics functions.

Parameters

  [out] | x | If non-null, *x is set to the horizontal page offset of graphics origin.
  [out] | y | Same as above, vertically.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

void Fl_PostScript_File_Device::origin | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |
| virtual

Sets the position in page coordinates of the origin of graphics functions.

Arguments should be expressed relatively to the result of a previous printable_rect() call. That is, `printable_rect(&w, &h); origin(w/2, 0);` sets the graphics origin at the top center of the page printable area. Origin() calls are not affected by rotate() calls. Successive origin() calls don't combine their effects.

Parameters

  [in] | x | Horizontal position in page coordinates of the desired origin of graphics functions.
  [in] | y | Same as above, vertically.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

int Fl_PostScript_File_Device::printable_rect | ( | int * | w,
|  | int * | h
| ) |  |
| virtual

Computes the width and height of the printable area of the page.

Values are in the same unit as that used by FLTK drawing functions, are unchanged by calls to origin(), but are changed by scale() calls. Values account for the user-selected paper type and print orientation.

Returns
  0 if OK, non-zero if any error

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

void Fl_PostScript_File_Device::rotate | ( | float | angle | ) |
| virtual

Rotates the graphics operations relatively to paper.

The rotation is centered on the current graphics origin. Successive rotate() calls don't combine their effects.

Parameters

  angle | Rotation angle in counter-clockwise degrees.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

void Fl_PostScript_File_Device::scale | ( | float | scale_x,
|  | float | scale_y = `0.`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Changes the scaling of page coordinates.

This function also resets the origin of graphics functions at top left of printable page area. After a scale() call, do a printable_rect() call to get the new dimensions of the printable page area. Successive scale() calls don't combine their effects.

Parameters

  scale_x | Horizontal dimensions of plot are multiplied by this quantity.
  scale_y | Same as above, vertically. The value 0. is equivalent to setting `scale_y` = `scale_x`. Thus, scale(factor); is equivalent to scale(factor, factor);

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

int Fl_PostScript_File_Device::start_job | ( | int | pagecount,
|  | enum Fl_Paged_Device::Page_Format | format = `Fl_Paged_Device::A4`,
|  | enum Fl_Paged_Device::Page_Layout | layout = `Fl_Paged_Device::PORTRAIT`
| ) |  |

Begins the session where all graphics requests will go to a local PostScript file.

Opens a file dialog entitled with Fl_PostScript_File_Device::file_chooser_title to select an output PostScript file.

Parameters

  pagecount | The total number of pages to be created. Use 0 if this number is unknown when this function is called.
  format | Desired page format.
  layout | Desired page layout.

Returns
  0 if OK, 1 if user cancelled the file dialog, 2 if fopen failed on user-selected output file.

int Fl_PostScript_File_Device::start_job | ( | FILE * | ps_output,
|  | int | pagecount,
|  | enum Fl_Paged_Device::Page_Format | format = `Fl_Paged_Device::A4`,
|  | enum Fl_Paged_Device::Page_Layout | layout = `Fl_Paged_Device::PORTRAIT`
| ) |  |

Begins the session where all graphics requests will go to FILE pointer.

Parameters

  ps_output | A writable FILE pointer that will receive PostScript output and that should not be closed until after end_job() has been called.
  pagecount | The total number of pages to be created. Use 0 if this number is unknown when this function is called.
  format | Desired page format.
  layout | Desired page layout.

Returns
  always 0.

int Fl_PostScript_File_Device::start_page | ( | void |  | ) |
| virtual

Starts a new printed page.

The page coordinates are initially in points, i.e., 1/72 inch, and with origin at the top left of the printable page area.

Returns
  0 if OK, non-zero if any error

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.

void Fl_PostScript_File_Device::translate | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |
| virtual

Translates the current graphics origin accounting for the current rotation.

This function is only useful after a rotate() call. Each translate() call must be matched by an untranslate() call. Successive translate() calls add up their effects.

Reimplemented from Fl_Paged_Device.
