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.
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());
