qt.QtLuaPrinter([mode])

Expression qt.QtLuaPrinter(mode) returns a new instance of class qt.QtLuaPrinter.

The optional argument mode is a string specifying the resolution of the initial coordinate system. The default value ScreenResolution replicates the screen resolution. Value HighResolution initializes the coordinate system with the resolution of the printer.

There are in fact two ways to setup the coordinate system:

Create a qt.QtLuaPrinter with the desired mode, set the paper type using printer.pageSize, create a qt.QtLuaPainter and obtain obtain the size of the drawable area using painter.width and painter.heigth.

Create a qt.QtLuaPrinter, set the paper type using printer.pageSize, and specify the desired size of the drawable area using printer.papersize. This will ensure that the desired drawable area fits nicely in the paper size. When using Qt-4.4 or greater and printing to a PostScript or PDF file, this will also ensure that the image described in the resulting file has the desired dimensions.

Most printer properties should be set before creating the qt.QtLuaPainter that will peform the drawings.
