## Description

The GtkSourcePrintCompositor object is used to compose a GtkSourceBuffer for printing. You can set various configuration options to customize the printed output. GtkSourcePrintCompositor is designed to be used with the high-level printing API of gtk+, i.e. GtkPrintOperation.

The margins specified in this object are the layout margins: they define the blank space bordering the printed area of the pages. They must not be confused with the "print margins", i.e. the parts of the page that the printer cannot print on, defined in the GtkPageSetup objects. If the specified layout margins are smaller than the "print margins", the latter ones are used as a fallback by the GtkSourcePrintCompositor object, so that the printed area is not clipped.

## Details

### GtkSourcePrintCompositor

    typedef struct _GtkSourcePrintCompositor GtkSourcePrintCompositor;

### gtk_source_print_compositor_new ()

    GtkSourcePrintCompositor * gtk_source_print_compositor_new
                                                            (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer);

Creates a new print compositor that can be used to print `buffer`.

`buffer` : | the GtkSourceBuffer to print
Returns : | a new print compositor object.

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_new_from_view ()

    GtkSourcePrintCompositor * gtk_source_print_compositor_new_from_view
                                                            (GtkSourceView *view);

Creates a new print compositor that can be used to print the buffer associated with `view`. This constructor sets some configuration properties to make the printed output match `view` as much as possible. The properties set are "tab-width", "highlight-syntax", "wrap-mode", "body-font-name" and "print-line-numbers".

`view` : | a GtkSourceView to get configuration from.
Returns : | a new print compositor object.

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_get_buffer ()

    GtkSourceBuffer *   gtk_source_print_compositor_get_buffer
                                                            (GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor);

Gets the GtkSourceBuffer associated with the compositor. The returned object reference is owned by the compositor object and should not be unreferenced.

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.
Returns : | the GtkSourceBuffer associated with the compositor.

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_set_tab_width ()

    void                gtk_source_print_compositor_set_tab_width

Sets the width of tabulation in characters for printed text.

This function cannot be called anymore after the first call to the `gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate()` function.

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.
`width` : | width of tab in characters.

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_get_tab_width ()

    guint               gtk_source_print_compositor_get_tab_width

Returns the width of tabulation in characters for printed text.

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.
Returns : | width of tab.

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_set_wrap_mode ()

    void                gtk_source_print_compositor_set_wrap_mode
                                                            (GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor,

Sets the line wrapping mode for the printed text.

This function cannot be called anymore after the first call to the `gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate()` function.

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.

    gint                gtk_source_print_compositor_get_n_pages
                                                            (GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor);

Returns the number of pages in the document or `-1` if the document has not been completely paginated.

### gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate ()

    gboolean            gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate
                                                            (GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor,
                                                             GtkPrintContext *context);

Paginate the document associated with the `compositor`.

In order to support non-blocking pagination, document is paginated in small chunks. Each time `gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate()` is invoked, a chunk of the document is paginated. To paginate the entire document, `gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate()` must be invoked multiple times. It returns `TRUE` if the document has been completely paginated, otherwise it returns `FALSE`.

This method has been designed to be invoked in the handler of the "paginate" signal, as shown in the following example:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13

    // Signal handler for the GtkPrintOperation::paginate signal

    static gboolean
    paginate (GtkPrintOperation *operation,
              GtkPrintContext   *context,
              gpointer           user_data)
    {
        GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor;

        compositor = GTK_SOURCE_PRINT_COMPOSITOR (user_data);

        if (gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate (compositor, context))
        {
            gint n_pages;

            n_pages = gtk_source_print_compositor_get_n_pages (compositor);
            gtk_print_operation_set_n_pages (operation, n_pages);

            return TRUE;
        }

        return FALSE;
    }

If you don't need to do pagination in chunks, you can simply do it all in the "begin-print" handler, and set the number of pages from there, like in the following example:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13
    14
    15
    16
    17

    // Signal handler for the GtkPrintOperation::begin-print signal

    static void
    begin_print (GtkPrintOperation *operation,
                 GtkPrintContext   *context,
                 gpointer           user_data)
    {
        GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor;
        gint n_pages;

        compositor = GTK_SOURCE_PRINT_COMPOSITOR (user_data);

        while (!gtk_source_print_compositor_paginate (compositor, context));

        n_pages = gtk_source_print_compositor_get_n_pages (compositor);
        gtk_print_operation_set_n_pages (operation, n_pages);
    }

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.
`context` : | the GtkPrintContext whose parameters (e.g. paper size, print margins, etc.) are used by the the `compositor` to paginate the document.
Returns : | `TRUE` if the document has been completely paginated, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_get_pagination_progress ()

    gdouble             gtk_source_print_compositor_get_pagination_progress
                                                            (GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor);

Returns the current fraction of the document pagination that has been completed.

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.
Returns : | a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive

Since 2.2

### gtk_source_print_compositor_draw_page ()

    void                gtk_source_print_compositor_draw_page
                                                            (GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor,
                                                             GtkPrintContext *context,
                                                             gint page_nr);

Draw page `page_nr` for printing on the the Cairo context encapsuled in `context`.

This method has been designed to be called in the handler of the "draw_page" signal as shown in the following example:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7

               GtkPrintContext   *context,
               gint               page_nr,

    {
        GtkSourcePrintCompositor *compositor;

        compositor = GTK_SOURCE_PRINT_COMPOSITOR (user_data);

        gtk_source_print_compositor_draw_page (compositor,
                                               context,
                                               page_nr);
    }

`compositor` : | a GtkSourcePrintCompositor.
`context` : | the GtkPrintContext encapsulating the context information that is required when drawing the page for printing.
`page_nr` : | the number of the page to print.
