QtPrintDialog.C File Reference

Detailed Description

This is a small ROOT macro to use Qt 3.3 class: QPrinter to setup the printer via Qt "setup printer dialog" See: Printer setup dialog box and print out the ROOT TCanvas object either via the "can" pointer provided or the current one.

To use, invoke ACLiC from the ROOT prompt:

root [] .x QtPrintDialog.C++

To use it with no ACLiC, omit the trailing "++"

root [] .x QtPrintDialog.C

The full list of the Qt classes available from Cint is defined by by $ROOTSYS/cint/lib/qtclasses.h

All Qt classes can be used from ACLiC though.

#  include <QPrintDialog>
#  include <QPrinter>
#  include <QPainter>
#  include <QPixmap>
#  include <TCanvas.h>
#  include <TGQt.h>

void  QtPrintDialog(TVirtualPad *pad = 0) {

   TVirtualPad *pd = pad;
   if (!pd) pd = TPad::Pad(); // ->GetCanvas();
   if (pd) {
      QPrinter p;
      // Open the Qt "Setup Printer" dialog to configure the "QPrinter p" object
      QPrintDialog printDialog(&p);
      if (printDialog.exec() == QDialog::Accepted) {
         Int_t id = pd->GetPixmapID();
         QPixmap *pix = (QPixmap *)(TGQt::iwid(id));
         QPainter pnt(&p);
         pnt.drawPixmap(0,0,*pix);
      }
   } else {
      printf(" No TCanvas has been selected yet! \n");
   }
}
