[KDE-India] Printing a Widget

[Prashanth Udupa]

Hi,

You can take a look at QPixmap::grabWidget() for this. This function helps
capture a snapshot of the widget into a pixmap which you can print
on to a QPrinter object using a QPainter.

If you want to print a graphics scene. You can use the QGraphicsScene::render()
function. The documentation for this function has a printing example.

Regards,
Prashanth
