Details¶

class Gtk.PaperSize¶

Gtk.PaperSize handles paper sizes. It uses the standard called PWG 5101.1-2002 PWG: Standard for Media Standardized Names to name the paper sizes (and to get the data for the page sizes). In addition to standard paper sizes, Gtk.PaperSize allows to construct custom paper sizes with arbitrary dimensions.

The Gtk.PaperSize object stores not only the dimensions (width and height) of a paper size and its name, it also provides default print margins.

Printing support has been added in GTK+ 2.10.

classmethod get_default()[source]¶

Returns:: the name of the default paper size. The string is owned by GTK+ and should not be modified.
Return type:: str

Returns the name of the default paper size, which depends on the current locale.

New in version 2.10.

classmethod get_paper_sizes(include_custom)[source]¶

Parameters:: include_custom (bool) – whether to include custom paper sizes as defined in the page setup dialog
Returns:: a newly allocated list of newly allocated Gtk.PaperSize objects
Return type:: [Gtk.PaperSize]

Creates a list of known paper sizes.

New in version 2.12.

classmethod new(name)[source]¶

Parameters:: name (str or None) – a paper size name, or None
Returns:: a new Gtk.PaperSize, use Gtk.PaperSize.free() to free it
Return type:: Gtk.PaperSize

Creates a new Gtk.PaperSize object by parsing a PWG 5101.1-2002 paper name.

If name is None, the default paper size is returned, see Gtk.PaperSize.get_default().

New in version 2.10.

classmethod new_custom(name, display_name, width, height, unit)[source]¶

Parameters:

name (str) – the paper name
display_name (str) – the human-readable name
width (float) – the paper width, in units of unit
height (float) – the paper height, in units of unit
unit (Gtk.Unit) – the unit for width and height. not Gtk.Unit.NONE.

Returns:

a new Gtk.PaperSize object, use Gtk.PaperSize.free() to free it

Return type:

Gtk.PaperSize

Creates a new Gtk.PaperSize object with the given parameters.

New in version 2.10.

classmethod new_from_gvariant(variant)[source]¶

Parameters:: variant (GLib.Variant) – an a{sv} GLib.Variant
Returns:: a new Gtk.PaperSize object
Return type:: Gtk.PaperSize

Deserialize a paper size from an a{sv} variant in the format produced by Gtk.PaperSize.to_gvariant().

New in version 3.22.

classmethod new_from_ipp(ipp_name, width, height)[source]¶

Parameters:

ipp_name (str) – an IPP paper name
width (float) – the paper width, in points
height (float) – the paper height in points

Returns:

a new Gtk.PaperSize, use Gtk.PaperSize.free() to free it

Return type:

Gtk.PaperSize

Creates a new Gtk.PaperSize object by using IPP information.

If ipp_name is not a recognized paper name, width and height are used to construct a custom Gtk.PaperSize object.

New in version 3.16.

classmethod new_from_key_file(key_file, group_name)[source]¶

Parameters:

key_file (GLib.KeyFile) – the GLib.KeyFile to retrieve the papersize from
group_name (str or None) – the name of the group in the key file to read, or None to read the first group

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

a new Gtk.PaperSize object with the restored paper size, or None if an error occurred

Return type:

Gtk.PaperSize

Reads a paper size from the group group_name in the key file key_file.

New in version 2.12.

classmethod new_from_ppd(ppd_name, ppd_display_name, width, height)[source]¶

Parameters:

ppd_name (str) – a PPD paper name
ppd_display_name (str) – the corresponding human-readable name
width (float) – the paper width, in points
height (float) – the paper height in points

Returns:

a new Gtk.PaperSize, use Gtk.PaperSize.free() to free it

Return type:

Gtk.PaperSize

Creates a new Gtk.PaperSize object by using PPD information.

If ppd_name is not a recognized PPD paper name, ppd_display_name, width and height are used to construct a custom Gtk.PaperSize object.

New in version 2.10.
