Finding out max available print area
- by Armagan
I'm trying to find out max available area on my printer. I've printed a simple rectangle trying out different boundary variables. My question is, why doesn't first two work correctly? They don't print a full rectangle on the paper, only the left and top sides are drawn. Why does only the third one prints a full rectangle? I was under the impression of that all three should be working correctly. What am I missing?
Here's my code:
this.printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new Margins(0, 0, 0, 0);
...
private void PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
//Method 1, no right and bottom sides are printed
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black, 1), e.PageBounds);
//Method 2, same as Method 1
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black, 1), e.MarginBounds);
//Method 3, works correctly
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black, 1), new Rectangle((int)e.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds.X, (int)e.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds.Y, (int)e.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds.Width, (int)e.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds.Height));
}
