The class PrintStyle implements the abstract interface to the
PrintingWizards style objects.
To implement a print style, derive from this class and read
the information in printingwizard.h to see how this two pieces
work together. Basically, the print style gets the contacts it
is supposed to print from the PrintingWizard is will not
change this set - neither its content nor its order.
To register your new style in the printing wizard, you need to
define a PrintStyleFactory that handles how your objects are
created and deleted. See the existing print styles for
examples.
A print style should have a preview image that gives the user
a basic impression on how it will look. Add this image to the
printing folder (right here :-), and edit Makefile.am to have
it installed along with kaddressbook. Load it using
setPreview(TQString).
Your print style is supposed to add its options as pages to
the printing wizard. The method wizard() gives you a pointer
to the wizard object.
