AT_ERRCOUNT    ACCUAPI    IG_dspl_document_print_custom(
        [IN] const LPHIGEAR lphIGear,
        [IN] UINT nImageCount,
        [IN] DWORD dwGrpID,
        [IN] HDC hDC,
        [IN] UINT nImagesPerPage,
        [IN] const LPAT_DRECTANGLE lpImagesLayout,

);

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
lphIGear	const LPHIGEAR	Array of ImageGear image handles to print.
nImageCount	UINT	Number of elements in lphIGear array.
dwGrpID	DWORD	Identifier of group from which to get the options for printing for each image.
hDC	HDC	Handle of printer device context on which to draw the images.
nImagesPerPage	UINT	Number of images that should be placed in a single page.
lpImagesLayout	const LPAT_DRECTANGLE	Array of length nImagesPerPage of rectangles where an i-th rectangle specifies how the i-th image of this page is located on that page. Each rectangle is calculated in page-relative units, and as the actual page resolutions are obtained, it translates the rectangles into real coordinates and assigns values to ClipRect according to the following rules: ClipRect.x = lpLayout[i].xnPageWidth ClipRect.y = lpLayout[i].ynPageHeight ClipRect.width = lpLayout[i].widthnPageWidth ClipRect.height = lpLayout[i].heightnPageHeight
bDirectToDriver	BOOL	If TRUE, then ImageGear does not perform image scaling but uses the operating system's and driver's capabilities for this. If FALSE then ImageGear performs the scaling.
lpfnImageSpooled	LPFNIG_IMAGESPOOLED	Callback function that will be called after each image is printed.
lpPrivateData	LPVOID	Private data that will be passed to the lpfnImageSpooled callback function in the first parameter.

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional.

        return  TRUE;   /* return FALSE to cancel printing  */
}

Remarks:

lpfnImageSpooled function will be called after each image is printed and you can use the lpPrivateData parameter as private data storage. bDirectToDriver parameter allows you to perform image scaling inside of ImageGear or leave this task to the printer driver and operating system. Usually, direct to driver printing (bDirectToDriver=TRUE) results in smaller output size and it works faster, but not using it produces better quality and allows you to use such ImageGear capabilities as anti-aliasing during printing.

Special predefined option group IG_GRP_DEFAULT_PRINT can be used to print an image with the most common parameters.
