Hello,
Line having coordinates (0,0) and (1000,1400) would draw the line on these coordinates only, not taking the page margins property of the Page Settings into account,

protected void ThePrintDocument_PrintPage (object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs ev)
{

//Create PrinterSettings object
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();

//Create PageSettings object
PageSettings pgSetting = new PageSettings(ps);

ev.PageSettings.Margins.Left = 50;
ev.PageSettings.Margins.Right = 100;
ev.PageSettings.Margins.Top = 50;
ev.PageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 100;

ev.Graphics.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Violet, 5),
new Point(0, 0),
newPoint(1000, 1400));

}

If i set
ThePrintDocument.OriginAtMargins = true;

then it draws the line from left and top margin but what about the right and bottom margins. The DrawLine method is printing line in right and bottom margins also

I need to set margins on all pages of print document while drawing lines

What I should do for this, please help

As you've discovered, the coordinate space of the paper includes the margins. Use ev.PageSettings.Margins to determine what the margins are, and adjust your line drawing coordinates appropriately.

Try these things, haven't tried this on a sample, perhaps may help you get around a solution.

// Either you may have to translate the graphics
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(x, y);

// Or you can limit the clipping region
e.Graphics.Clip = new Region(e.PageSettings.PrintableArea);

Hope this helps!.

Thanks a lot
I set
e.Graphics.Clip = new Region(e.MarginsBound);
and it worked, but the transformation should be done after setting the clip.
Thanks
