Detailed Description

The QPageSize class describes the size and name of a defined page size

This class implements support for the set of standard page sizes as defined in the Adobe Postscript PPD Standard v4.3. It defines the standard set of page sizes in points, millimeters and inches and ensures these sizes are consistently used. Other size units can be used but will be calculated results and so may not always be consistent. The defined point sizes are always a integer, all other sizes can be fractions of a unit.

The defined size is always in width x height order with no implied page orientation. Note that it is possible for page sizes to be defined where the width is greater than the height, such as QPageSize::Ledger, so you cannot rely on comparing the width and height values to determine page orientation.

For example, A4 is defined by the standard as 210mm x 297mm, 8.27in x 11.69in, or 595pt x 842pt.

You can also define custom page sizes with custom names in any units you want and this unit size will be preserved and used as the base for all other unit size calculations.

When creating a QPageSize using a custom QSize you can choose if you want QPageSize to try match the size to a standard page size. By default QPaperSize uses a FuzzyMatch mode where it will match a given page size to a standard page size if it falls within 3 postscript points of a defined standard size. You can override this to request only an exact match but this is not recommended as conversions between units can easily lose 3 points and result in incorrect page sizes.

A QPageSize instance may also be obtained by querying the supported page sizes for a print device. In this case the localized name returned is that defined by the printer itself. Note that the print device may not support the current default locale language.

The class also provides convenience methods for converting page size IDs to and from various unit sizes.

The Postscript standard size QPageSize::Folio is different to the Windows DMPAPER_FOLIO size, use the Postscript standard size QPageSize::FanFoldGermanLegal if needed.

This enum describes how accurately a page size must match to adjusted to a standard page size

Constant Value Description
QPageSize::FuzzyMatch 0 Match to a standard page size if within the margin of tolerance
QPageSize::FuzzyOrientationMatch 1 Match to a standard page size if within the margin of tolerance regardless of orientation
QPageSize::ExactMatch 2 Only match to a standard page size if the sizes match exactly
 enum QPageSize::Unit

This enum type is used to specify the measurement unit for page sizes.

Constant Value Description
QPageSize::Millimeter 0
QPageSize::Point 1 1/72nd of an inch
QPageSize::Inch 2
QPageSize::Pica 3 1/72nd of a foot, 1/6th of an inch, 12 Points

QPageSize::Cicero 5 1/6th of a French inch, 12 Didot, 4.5mm
QPageSize::DevicePixel 6

There is difference between Point and DevicePixel. The Point unit is defined to be 1/72nd of an inch, while the DevicePixel unit is resolution dependent and is based on the actual pixels, or dots, on the printer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

 QPageSize::QPageSize ( )

Creates a null QPageSize.

 QPageSize::QPageSize ( PageSizeId sizeId )
explicit

Creates a QPageSize of the standard sizeId. If pageSize is QPageSize::Custom then the resulting QPageSize will not be valid. Use the custom size constructor instead.

 QPageSize::QPageSize ( const QSize & size, const QString & name = QString(), SizeMatchPolicy matchPolicy = FuzzyMatch )
explicit

Creates a QPageSize of the given size in Points using the matching matchPolicy.

If the given pointSize matches a standard QPageSize::PageSizeId, then that page size will be used. Note that if the matchPolicy is FuzzyMatch this may result in the pointSize being adjusted to the standard size. To prevent this happening use a matchPolicy of ExactMatch instead.

If the given pointSize is not a standard QPageSize::PageSizeId then a QPageSize::Custom size will be created.

If name is null then the standard localized name will be used. If a custom page size then a custom name in the format "Custom (width x height)" will be created.

The matchPolicy defaults to FuzzyMatch.

 QPageSize::QPageSize ( const QSizeF & size, Unit units, const QString & name = QString(), SizeMatchPolicy matchPolicy = FuzzyMatch )
explicit

Creates a custom page of the given size in units.

If the given size matches a standard QPageSize::PageSizeId, then that page size will be used. If the matchPolicy is FuzzyMatch this may result in the size being adjusted to the standard size. To prevent this happening use a matchPolicy of ExactMatch instead.

If the given size is not a standard QPageSize::PageSizeId then a QPageSize::Custom size will be created. The original unit size will be preserved and used as the base for all other unit size calculations.

If name is null then a custom name will be created in the form "Custom (width x height)" where the size is expressed in units provided.

 QPageSize::QPageSize ( const QPageSize & other )

Copy constructs a new QPageSize from other.

 QPageSize::~QPageSize ( )

Destroys the page.

Method Documentation

 QSizeF QPageSize::definitionSize ( ) const

Returns the definition size of the page size. If the QPageSize is invalid then the QSizeF will be invalid.

For a standard page size this will be the size as defined in the relevant standard, i.e. ISO A4 will be defined in millimeters while ANSI Letter will be defined in inches.

For a custom page size this will be the original size used to create the page size object.

definitionUnits()
 QSizeF QPageSize::definitionSize ( PageSizeId pageSizeId )
static

Returns the definition size of the standard pageSizeId. To obtain the definition units, call QPageSize::definitionUnits().

 Unit QPageSize::definitionUnits ( ) const

Returns the definition units of the page size. If the QPageSize is invalid then the QPageSize::Unit will be invalid.

For a standard page size this will be the units as defined in the relevant standard, i.e. ISO A4 will be defined in millimeters while ANSI Letter will be defined in inches.

For a custom page size this will be the original units used to create the page size object.

definitionSize()
 Unit QPageSize::definitionUnits ( PageSizeId pageSizeId )
static

Returns the definition units of the standard pageSizeId. To obtain the definition size, call QPageSize::definitionSize().

 PageSizeId QPageSize::id ( ) const

Returns the standard QPageSize::PageSizeId of the page, or QPageSize::Custom.

If the QPageSize is invalid then the ID will be the enum value QPageSize::Custom.

 PageSizeId QPageSize::id ( const QSize & pointSize, SizeMatchPolicy matchPolicy = FuzzyMatch )
static

Returns the standard QPageSize::PageSizeId of the given pointSize in points using the given matchPolicy.

If using FuzzyMatch then the point size of the PageSizeId returned may not exactly match the pointSize you passed in. You should call QPageSize::sizePoints() using the returned PageSizeId to find out the actual point size of the PageSizeId before using it in any calculations.

 PageSizeId QPageSize::id ( const QSizeF & size, Unit units, SizeMatchPolicy matchPolicy = FuzzyMatch )
static

Returns the standard QPageSize::PageSizeId of the given size in units using the given matchPolicy.

If using FuzzyMatch then the unit size of the PageSizeId returned may not exactly match the size you passed in. You should call QPageSize::size() using the returned PageSizeId to find out the actual unit size of the PageSizeId before using it in any calculations.

 PageSizeId QPageSize::id ( int windowsId )
static

Returns the PageSizeId for the given Windows DMPAPER enum value windowsId. If there is no matching PageSizeId then the enum value QPageSize::Custom is returned.

 bool QPageSize::isEquivalentTo ( const QPageSize & other ) const

Returns true if this page is equivalent to the other page. For example, if the page has the same size regardless of other attributes like name.

 bool QPageSize::isValid ( ) const

Returns true if this page size is valid. The page size may be invalid if created with an invalid PageSizeId, or a negative or invalid QSize or QSizeF, or the null constructor.

 QString QPageSize::key ( ) const

Returns the unique key of the page size. If the QPageSize is invalid then the key will be an empty string.

By default this is the PPD standard mediaOption keyword for the page size, or the PPD custom format key. If the QPageSize instance was obtained from a print device then this will be the key provided by the print device and may differ from the standard key.

This key should never be shown to end users, it is an internal key only. For a human-readable name use name().

name()
 QString QPageSize::key ( PageSizeId pageSizeId )
static

Returns the PPD mediaOption keyword of the standard pageSizeId. If the QPageSize is invalid then the key will be empty.

 QString QPageSize::name ( ) const

Returns a localized human-readable name for the page size. If the QPageSize is invalid then the name will be an empty string.

If the QPageSize instance was obtained from a print device then the name used is that provided by the print device. Note that a print device may not support the current default locale language.

 QString QPageSize::name ( PageSizeId pageSizeId )
static

Returns the localized name of the standard pageSizeId. If the QPageSize is invalid then the name will be empty.

 QPageSize & QPageSize::operator= ( const QPageSize & other )

Copy assigns from other and returns a reference to this object.

 QPageSize & QPageSize::operator= ( QPageSize && other )
inline

Move assigns from other and returns a reference to this object.

 QRectF QPageSize::rect ( Unit units ) const

Returns the page rectangle in the required units. If the QPageSize is invalid then the QRect will be invalid.

 QRect QPageSize::rectPixels ( int resolution ) const

Returns the page rectangle in Device Pixels at the given resolution. If the QPageSize is invalid then the QRect will be invalid.

 QRect QPageSize::rectPoints ( ) const

Returns the page rectangle in Postscript Points (1/72 of an inch). If the QPageSize is invalid then the QRect will be invalid.

 QSizeF QPageSize::size ( PageSizeId pageSizeId, Unit units )
static

Returns the size of the standard pageSizeId in the requested units.

 QSizeF QPageSize::size ( Unit units ) const

Returns the size of the page in the required units. If the QPageSize is invalid then the QSizeF will be invalid.

 QSize QPageSize::sizePixels ( int resolution ) const

Returns the size of the page in Device Pixels at the given resolution. If the QPageSize is invalid then the QSize will be invalid.

 QSize QPageSize::sizePixels ( PageSizeId pageSizeId, int resolution )
static

Returns the size of the standard pageSizeId in Device Pixels for the given resolution.

 QSize QPageSize::sizePoints ( ) const

Returns the size of the page in Postscript Points (1/72 of an inch). If the QPageSize is invalid then the QSize will be invalid.

 QSize QPageSize::sizePoints ( PageSizeId pageSizeId )
static

Returns the size of the standard pageSizeId in Points.

 void QPageSize::swap ( QPageSize & other )
inline

Swaps this QPageSize with other. This function is very fast and never fails.

 int QPageSize::windowsId ( ) const

Returns the Windows DMPAPER enum value for the page size. If the QPageSize is invalid then the Windows ID will be 0.

Not all valid PPD page sizes have a Windows equivalent, in which case 0 will be returned.
