Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: PrintContext
   :no-index:


   .. method:: create_pango_context() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.Context

      Creates a new ``PangoContext`` that can be used with the
      ``GtkPrintContext``.










   .. method:: create_pango_layout() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.Layout

      Creates a new ``PangoLayout`` that is suitable for use
      with the ``GtkPrintContext``.










   .. method:: get_cairo_context() -> ~gi.repository.cairo.Context

      Obtains the cairo context that is associated with the
      ``GtkPrintContext``.










   .. method:: get_dpi_x() -> float

      Obtains the horizontal resolution of the ``GtkPrintContext``,
      in dots per inch.










   .. method:: get_dpi_y() -> float

      Obtains the vertical resolution of the ``GtkPrintContext``,
      in dots per inch.










   .. method:: get_hard_margins() -> tuple[bool, float, float, float, float]

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










   .. method:: get_height() -> float

      Obtains the height of the ``GtkPrintContext``, in pixels.










   .. method:: get_page_setup() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.PageSetup

      Obtains the ``GtkPageSetup`` that determines the page
      dimensions of the ``GtkPrintContext``.










   .. method:: get_pango_fontmap() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.FontMap

      Returns a ``PangoFontMap`` that is suitable for use
      with the ``GtkPrintContext``.










   .. method:: get_width() -> float

      Obtains the width of the ``GtkPrintContext``, in pixels.










   .. method:: set_cairo_context(cr: ~cairo.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.







      :param cr: the cairo context


      :param dpi_x: the horizontal resolution to use with ``cr``


      :param dpi_y: the vertical resolution to use with ``cr``
