# Detail

A `PageSetup` object stores the page size, orientation and margins. The idea is that you can get one of these from the page setup dialog and then pass it to the `PrintOperation` when printing. The benefit of splitting this out of the `PrintSettings` is that these affect the actual layout of the page, and thus need to be set long before user prints.

The margins specified in this object are the "print margins", i.e. the parts of the page that the printer cannot print on. These are different from the layout margins that a word processor uses; they are typically used to determine the minimal size for the layout margins.

To obtain a `PageSetup` use `pageSetupNew` to get the defaults, or use `printRunPageSetupDialog` to show the page setup dialog and receive the resulting page setup.

Printing support was added in Gtk+ 2.10.

# Methods

pageSetupCopy

Arguments

:: PageSetupClass self |
=> self |
-> IO PageSetup | returns a copy of `other`

Copies a `PageSetup`.

pageSetupGetTopMargin

Arguments

:: PageSetupClass self |
=> self |
-> Unit | `unit` - the unit for the return value
-> IO Double | returns the top margin

Gets the top margin in units of `unit`.

pageSetupSetTopMargin

Arguments

:: PageSetupClass self |
=> self |
-> Double | `margin` - the new top margin in units of `unit`
-> Unit | `unit` - the units for `margin`
-> IO () |

Sets the top margin of the `PageSetup`.

pageSetupSetPaperSizeAndDefaultMargins

Arguments

:: PageSetupClass self |
=> self |
-> PaperSize | `size` - a `PaperSize`
-> IO () |

Sets the paper size of the `PageSetup` and modifies the margins according to the new paper size.
