LESSON 41 Printing with wPF

Figure 41-4 shows the result. Notice that the Window’s image is centered and enlarged to fill most of

the printable area.

FIGURE 414

In addition to the PrintVisual method, the PrintDialog class provides a PrintDocument method

that prints multipage output or document objects such as

FlowDocuments or FixedDocuments.

Unfortunately these topics are fairly complex, so they’re not described here. If you need those capa-

bilities, you can find more information online at:

TRY IT

In this Try It, you modify the example programs described in this lesson to print an image of a

window rotated sideways so it fills even more of the printed page. Figure 41-5 shows the result.

You can download the code and resources for this Try It from the book’s web

page at

www.wrox.com or www.CSharpHelper.com/24hour.html. You can find

them in the Lesson41 folder of the download.
