obtaining information about printable area from QPrinter
Message 1 in thread
Hi:
I'm using QPrinter for printing and I would like to specify the
coordinates for printing relative to the edge of the paper. This is
possible with setting QPrinter to setFullPage(true) mode. Now when
painting on the printer, I would like to be able to check if I'm
painting within the printable area. Does anybody know of a way to find
out what the printable area is relative to the paper? QPrinter does
not seem to provide this information.
I'm working with Qt3.3.5 but it appears to be the same with Qt4.
Thanks,
Martin.

QPrinter::pageRect () gives the QRect defined by the margins
QPrinter::paperRect () gives the whole piece of paper

Thanks! I overlooked those methods. They are not available in Qt 3.3.5
but then I saw that QPrinter::margins() which will give me the
information. Hurrah ...
Martin.
