The IlvPaperFormat Class
The IlvPaperFormat class describes paper formats. Paper formats can be registered and queried by name.
A number of commonly used paper formats have been preregistered. Dimensions must be given in PostScript points.
| Note:
On the Windows platform, when using IlvWindowsPrinter, the printer driver is responsible for the paper sizes, so this class is used only with IlvPSPrinter. |
Retrieving a paper format:
IlvPaperFormat* letterformat = IlvPaperFormat::Get("Letter");
Creating a new paper format:
IlvPrintCMUnit width(100.0);
IlvPrintCMUnit height(100.0);
IlvPaperFormat::Register("MyFormat", width.getPoints(), height.getPoints());
Predefined paper formats are shown in Predefined Paper Formats:
