<p>This function will change the printer orientation of the printer. <b><font color="#000099">IT
CANNOT BE CALLED AFTER THE CONSTRUCTOR</font></b> for Cpage is called and
as such is a static member function. It must be called by a function in
the function chain somewhere before the OnPrint() or OnDraw() function
is called and after access to the CDC for the print job is available. The
recommended place to call the static member function is your CView::OnPrepareDC()
override. The CDC passed to this function will be changed by this function
call. The mode parameter must be either DMORIENT_PORTRAIT ( default ) or
DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE.
<p><b>Example</b>
<p><tt>void CMainView::OnPrepareDC(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)</tt>
<br><tt>{</tt>
<br><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo); // always call
base class first</tt>
<br><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; switch(pInfo->m_nCurPage) // switch modes based
on page number</tt>

<p><font color="#000099"><font size=-1>For users not familiar with static
member functions. The above code creates a CPage object on the stack and
executes the member function. The function does not depend on or alter
any data in the class so it needs no virtual table entry or a this pointer.
( as a matter of fact in CANNOT read or write and class data at all) There
will be one and only one copy of the function created no matter how many
CPage objects that there are. This is a poor explanation of static member
functions; please consult the MS documentation for details. HA!</font></font>

<p><font size=-1>This is the class constructor. There is no private constructor
override. This class is designed to be used in conjunction with MFC and
makes use of the Cview class printing architecture. The parameters are:</font>
<p><font size=-1>RECT rectDraw The drawing rectangle to be used by this
output device. ( see example )</font>

<p><font size=-1>The workhorse. This function has many different <a href="#note1">overloads</a>*.
All class functions are designed to use several different units of measurement.
In MM_TEXT map mode the native unit is pixels, which can vary from output
device to output device. In MM_ANISOTROPIC the units are user defined in
both axis. The default for this class is 1000 by 1000. The library can
also function in terms of inches. The passed parameters are converted to
native units before being passed to lower level functions. Inches present
the problem of being fractional in value and not integral. To facilitate
the ease of use the library makes the following assumptions to all calls
to the Print functions (With one exception noted below). <font color="#000099">If
the value is a double it is treated as a inch measurement. If one of the
location variables (Row and Col) is a double the other must be a double
also</font>. The parameters are:</font>
<p><font size=-1>Int row the vertical displacement for the print line.
Displacement is relative to the top of the page.</font>
<br><font size=-1>Int col the horizontal displacement for the print line.
Displacement is relative to the left side</font>
<br><font size=-1>( both of these parameters can be doubles and if so are
treated as inches )</font>
<br><font size=-1>UINT Textflags Modify the appearance of the output string.
See CPrinter.h</font>
<br><font size=-1>Int PointSize The number of points to use for the font.</font>

<p><font color="#000099"><font size=-1>int Print(int row,int *col,UINT
TextFlags,int PointSize,char* fmt,...) is a special override that takes
a pointer to the column variable. (See example above). On execution the
column variable is updated to the next column position. Subsequent calls
to Print using the variable will result in the output being a continuos
line allowing different attributes to be assigned within a line of text.
It is useful when printing a series of question/answer type forms also
as the variable will point to the next logical horizontal print area at
all times. There are also two overrides of this function that take only
Row,Column, Text parameters and get the rest of the information from the
defaults set into the CPage object.</font></font>
