  • Print any widget (standard, custom, Fl_Window, Fl_Gl_Window) as it appears on screen, with optional translation, scaling and rotation. This is done by calling print_widget() or print_window_part().
  • Use a series of FLTK graphics commands (e.g., font, text, lines, colors, clip) to compose a page appropriately shaped for printing.
In both cases, begin by start_job(), start_page(), printable_rect() and origin() calls and finish by end_page() and end_job() calls.

Platform specifics
Fl_Printer is typedef'ed to Fl_PostScript_Printer under Unix/Linux and to Fl_System_Printer otherwise. Both classes have the same API.

  • Unix/Linux platforms: Class Fl_RGB_Image prints but loses its transparency if it has one. PostScript text output is presently restricted to the Latin alphabet. Use the static public attributes of this class to set the print dialog to other languages than English. For example, the "Printer:" dialog item Fl_Printer::dialog_printer can be set to French with: \code Fl_Printer::dialog_printer = "Imprimante:"; \endcode before creation of the Fl_Printer object. Use Fl_PostScript_File_Device::file_chooser_title to customize the title of the file chooser dialog that opens when using the "Print To File" option of the print dialog.
  • MSWindows platform: Transparent Fl_RGB_Image 's don't print with exact transparency on most printers. Fl_RGB_Image 's don't rotate() well. A workaround is to use the print_window_part() call.
  • Mac OS X platform: all graphics requests print as on display.
