Controls generation of EPS, PDF or PS print jobs.
Copyright: (C) 1996,2001,2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
NSPrintOperation controls printing of an NSView. When invoked normally it will (optionally) display a standard print panel (NSPrintPanel), and based on the information entered by the user here as well as information about page layout (see NSPageLayout) tells the NSView to print it's contents. NSPrintOperation works with the NSView to paginate the output into appropriately sized and oriented pages and finally delivers the result to the appropriate place, whether it be a printer, and PostScript file, or another output.

currentOperation;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the NSPrintOperation object that is currently performing a print operation (if any).
+ (void)
setCurrentOperation: (
NSPrintOperation*)operation;
Availability: OpenStep
Set the current NSPrintOperation to the supplied operation object. As this is currently implemented, if a NSPrintOperation is currently running, that operation is lost (along with any associated context), so be careful to call this only when there is no current operation.
- (
NSView*)
accessoryView;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Returns the accessory view used by the NSPrintPanel associated with the receiver.
- (void)
cleanUpOperation;
Availability: OpenStep
Called by the print operation after it has finished running a printing operation.
- (
NSGraphicsContext*)
context;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the graphic contexts used by the print operation.
- (
NSGraphicsContext*)
createContext;
Availability: OpenStep
This method is used by the print operation to create a special graphics context for use while running the print operation.
- (int)
currentPage;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the page currently being printing. Returns 0 if no page is currently being printed
- (BOOL)
deliverResult;
Availability: OpenStep
Called by the print operation to deliver the results of the printing operation. This might include sending the output to a printer, a file or a previewing program. Returns YES
if the output was delivered sucessfully.
- (void)
destroyContext;
Availability: OpenStep
This method is used by the print operation to destroy the special graphic context used while running the print operation.

printPanel;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the NSPrintPanel associated with the receiver.
- (BOOL)
runOperation;
Availability: OpenStep
Call this message to run the print operation on a view. This includes (optionally) displaying a print panel and working with the NSView to paginate and draw the contents of the view.

runOperationModalForWindow: (
NSWindow*)docWindow
delegate: (id)delegate

Sets the NSPrintPanel used by the receiver obtaining and displaying printing information from/to the user.
- (void)
setShowPanels: (BOOL)flag;
Availability: OpenStep
Use this to set whether a print panel is displayed during a printing operation. If set to NO
, then the receiver uses information that was previously set and does not display any status information about the progress of the printing operation.
