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;
}
According to
System.Drawing is now complete, and in addition to being the underlying rendering engine for Windows.Forms, it has also been tested for using third party controls that heavily depend on it.
From the Mono docs, I think yes:
It also useful if you run the Mono Migration Analyzer first.
