get_hard_margins() → tuple[bool, float, float, float, float]

Obtains the hardware printer margins of the GtkPrintContext, in units.

get_height() → float

set_cairo_context(cr: Context, dpi_x: float, dpi_y: float) → None

Sets a new cairo context on a print context.

This function is intended to be used when implementing an internal print preview, it is not needed for printing, since GTK itself creates a suitable cairo context in that case.

Parameters:

  • cr – the cairo context

  • dpi_x – the horizontal resolution to use with cr

  • dpi_y – the vertical resolution to use with cr
