GtkPageSetup

A GtkPageSetup object stores the page size, orientation and margins. The idea is that you can get one of these from the page setup dialog and then pass it to the #GtkPrintOperation when printing. The benefit of splitting this out of the #GtkPrintSettings is that these affect the actual layout of the page, and thus need to be set long before user prints.

## Margins ## {#print-margins} The margins specified in this object are the “print margins”, i.e. the parts of the page that the printer cannot print on. These are different from the layout margins that a word processor uses; they are typically used to determine the minimal size for the layout margins.

To obtain a #GtkPageSetup use gtk.page_setup.PageSetup.new_ to get the defaults, or use gtk.global.printRunPageSetupDialog to show the page setup dialog and receive the resulting page setup.

A page setup dialog

static GtkPrintSettings *settings = NULL;
static GtkPageSetup *page_setup = NULL;

static void
do_page_setup (void)
{
  GtkPageSetup *new_page_setup;

  if (settings == NULL)
    settings = gtk_print_settings_new ();

  new_page_setup = gtk_print_run_page_setup_dialog (GTK_WINDOW (main_window),
                                                    page_setup, settings);

  if (page_setup)
    g_object_unref (page_setup);

  page_setup = new_page_setup;
}

Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.
