Detailed Description

A PsSurface provides a way to render PostScript documents from cairo.

This surface is not rendered to the screen but instead renders the drawing to a PostScript file on disk.

Note: For this Surface to be available, cairo must have been compiled with PostScript support

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PsSurface()

Cairo::PsSurface::PsSurface	(	cairo_surface_t *	cobject,
		bool	has_reference = `false`
	)

explicit

Create a C++ wrapper for the C instance.

This C++ instance should then be given to a RefPtr.

Parameters

cobject	The C instance.
has_reference	whether we already have a reference. Otherwise, the constructor will take an extra reference.

◆ ~PsSurface()

Cairo::PsSurface::~PsSurface ( )

override

Member Function Documentation

◆ create()

static RefPtr< PsSurface > Cairo::PsSurface::create	(	std::string	filename,
		double	width_in_points,
		double	height_in_points
	)

static

Creates a PsSurface with a specified dimensions that will be saved as the given filename.

Parameters

filename	The name of the PostScript file to save the surface to
width_in_points	The width of the PostScript document in points
height_in_points	The height of the PostScript document in points

Examples: ps-surface.cc.

◆ create_for_stream()

static RefPtr< PsSurface > Cairo::PsSurface::create_for_stream	(	const SlotWriteFunc &	write_func,
		double	width_in_points,
		double	height_in_points
	)

static

Creates a PsSurface with a specified dimensions that will be written to the given write function instead of saved directly to disk.

Parameters

write_func	The function to be called when the backend needs to write data to an output stream
width_in_points	The width of the PostScript document in points
height_in_points	The height of the PostScript document in points

Since: 1.8

◆ dsc_begin_page_setup()

void Cairo::PsSurface::dsc_begin_page_setup ( )

This function indicates that subsequent calls to dsc_comment() should direct comments to the PageSetup section of the PostScript output.

This function call is only needed for the first page of a surface. It should be called after any call to dsc_begin_setup() and before any drawing is performed to the surface.

◆ dsc_begin_setup()

void Cairo::PsSurface::dsc_begin_setup ( )

This function indicates that subsequent calls to dsc_comment() should direct comments to the Setup section of the PostScript output.

This function should be called at most once per surface, and must be called before any call to dsc_begin_page_setup() and before any drawing is performed to the surface.

◆ dsc_comment()

void Cairo::PsSurface::dsc_comment ( std::string comment )

Emit a comment into the PostScript output for the given surface.

See the cairo reference documentation for more information.

Parameters

comment a comment string to be emitted into the PostScript output

◆ get_eps()

bool Cairo::PsSurface::get_eps ( ) const

Check whether the PostScript surface will output Encapsulated PostScript.

Since: 1.8

◆ get_levels()

static const std::vector< PsLevel > Cairo::PsSurface::get_levels ( )

static

Used to retrieve the list of supported levels.

See restrict_to_level().

Since: 1.6

◆ level_to_string()

static std::string Cairo::PsSurface::level_to_string ( PsLevel level )

static

Get the string representation of the given level id.

This function will return an empty string if level id isn't valid. See get_levels() for a way to get the list of valid level ids.

Returns: the string associated to given level.

Parameters

level a level id

Since: 1.6

◆ restrict_to_level()

void Cairo::PsSurface::restrict_to_level ( PsLevel level )

Restricts the generated PostSript file to @level.

See get_levels() for a list of available level values that can be used here.

This function should only be called before any drawing operations have been performed on the given surface. The simplest way to do this is to call this function immediately after creating the surface.

Parameters

level PostScript level

Since: 1.6

◆ set_eps()

void Cairo::PsSurface::set_eps ( bool eps )

If eps is true, the PostScript surface will output Encapsulated PostScript.

This function should only be called before any drawing operations have been performed on the current page. The simplest way to do this is to call this function immediately after creating the surface. An Encapsulated Postscript file should never contain more than one page.

Since: 1.6

◆ set_size()

void Cairo::PsSurface::set_size	(	double	width_in_points,
		double	height_in_points
	)

Changes the size of a PostScript surface for the current (and subsequent) pages.

This function should only be called before any drawing operations have been performed on the current page. The simplest way to do this is to call this function immediately after creating the surface or immediately after completing a page with either Context::show_page() or Context::copy_page().

Parameters

width_in_points	new surface width, in points (1 point == 1/72.0 inch)
height_in_points	new surface height, in points (1 point == 1/72.0 inch)
