@jmcnamara @patrickziegler I would like to use this feature - is there some reason not to merge it yet? Thank you

is there some reason not to merge it yet?

Mainly because there were hardly any requests for this feature and it would need some more tests before I could merge it. But if there is interest I can move it up the TODO list (probably at the end of this month).

Hey together, after seeing your comments, I revisited this again and removed one unnecessary change. If you have further suggestions for improvement, I would add them too.

@amk26cap as a quick alternative, I used something along the following lines back then.

class WorksheetFixed(xlsxwriter.worksheet.Worksheet):
    def set_page_view(self, view="pageLayout"):
        self.page_view = view

I've added this as a feature to XlsxWriter v3.1.2 via the worksheet.set_pagebreak_view() method:

import xlsxwriter

workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook("test.xlsx")
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()

worksheet.write("A1", "Hello")
worksheet.write("Z100", "Hello")

worksheet.set_h_pagebreaks([10, 20, 30, 40])

worksheet.set_pagebreak_view()

workbook.close()

Output:

Thanks for the PR and the prompt.
