@page overview_unixprinting Printing Under Unix (GTK+)
|
||||
|
||||
Printing under Unix has always been a cause of problems as Unix does not
|
||||
provide a standard way to display text and graphics on screen and print it to a
|
||||
printer using the same application programming interface - instead, displaying
|
||||
on screen is done via the X11 library while printing has to be done with using
|
||||
PostScript commands. This was particularly difficult to handle for the case of
|
||||
fonts with the result that only a selected number of application could offer
|
||||
WYSIWYG under Unix. Equally, wxWidgets offered its own printing implementation
|
||||
using PostScript which never really matched the screen display.
|
||||
|
||||
Since GTK+ 2.10, support for printing has been added to GTK+ itself and
|
||||
beginning with wxWidgets 2.9, GTK+ printing is used by default (i.e. unless
|
||||
<tt>\--without-gtkprint</tt> was explicitly used when configuring the library).
|
||||
Support for GTK+ print is detected dynamically, i.e. during the run-time: if it
|
||||
is found, printing will be done through GTK+, otherwise the application will
|
||||
fall back to the old PostScript printing code. This allows the applications
|
||||
built with wxWidgets to still work on the very old systems using GTK+ earlier
|
||||
than 2.10.
