I'm attempting to use Mono to load a bitmap and print it on Linux but I'm getting an exception. Does Mono support printing on Linux? The code/exception are below:
EDIT: No longer getting the exception, but I'm still curious what kind of support there is. Leaving the code for posterity or something.
private void btnPrintTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_printDocTest.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
_printDocTest.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new Margins(50,50,50,50);
_printDocTest.Print();
}
void _printDocTest_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
var bmp = new Bitmap("test.bmp");
// Determine center of graph
var xCenter = e.MarginBounds.X + (e.MarginBounds.Width - bmp.Width) / 2;
var yCenter = e.MarginBounds.Y + (e.MarginBounds.Height - bmp.Height) / 2;
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, xCenter, yCenter);
e.HasMorePages = false;
}
From the Mono docs, I think yes:
Managed.Windows.Forms (aka System.Windows.Forms): A complete and cross platform, System.Drawing based Winforms implementation.
It also useful if you run the Mono Migration Analyzer first.
