It also lets you easily create pango.Layout and pango.Context objects that match the font metrics of the cairo surface. gtk.PrintContext objects gets passed to the "begin-print", "end-print", "request-page-setup" and "draw-page" signals on the gtk.PrintOperation. def draw_page(operation, context, page_nr): cr = context.get_cairo_context() # Draw a red rectangle, as wide as the paper (inside the margins) cr.set_source_rgb(1.0, 0, 0) cr.rectangle(0, 0, context.get_width(), 50) cr.fill() # Draw some lines cr.move_to(20, 10) cr.line_to(40, 20) cr.arc(60, 60, 20, 0, M_PI) cr.line_to(80, 20) cr.set_source_rgb(0, 0, 0) cr.set_line_width(5) cr.set_line_cap(cairo.LINE_CAP_ROUND) cr.set_line_join(cairo.LINE_JOIN_ROUND) cr.stroke() # Draw some text layout = cr.create_layout() layout.set_text("Hello World!

The get_cairo_context() method returns the cairo context that is associated with the gtk.PrintContext. get_page_setup Returns : the page setup This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The get_page_setup() method returns the gtk.PageSetup that determines the page dimensions of the gtk.PrintContext. get_width Returns : the width This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The get_width() method returns the width of the gtk.PrintContext, in pixels. get_height Returns : the height This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The get_height() method returns the width of the gtk.PrintContext, in pixels. get_dpi_x Returns : the horizontal resolution This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The get_dpi_x() method returns the horizontal resolution of the gtk.PrintContext, in dots per inch. get_dpi_y Returns : the vertical resolution This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The get_dpi_y() method returns the vertical resolution of the gtk.PrintContext, in dots per inch. get_pango_fontmap Returns : the font map This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The method returns a pango.FontMap that is suitable for use with the gtk.PrintContext. create_pango_context Returns : a new pango.Context This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The create_pango_context() method creates a new pango.Context that can be used with the gtk.PrintContext. create_pango_layout Returns : a new pango.Layout This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The create_pango_layout() method creates a new pango.Layout that is suitable for use with the gtk.PrintContext. set_cairo_context cr dpi_x dpi_y cr : dpi_x : dpi_y : This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above. The set_cairo_context() method sets the CairoContext specified by cr as the cairo context for the print context. dpi_x and dpi_y specify the horizontal and vertical resolution of the print context.
