I want to print a JlineGraph on the printer.
I have problems with the scaling : The graph will be printed
in 2 or 3 pages instead of 1.
I am using the utility class from Martin Hall (see below):
Have you tried printing and how ?
thank you
Christopher
public class PrintUtilities implements Printable {
private Component componentToBePrinted;
private int index ;
public static void printComponent(Component c) {
new PrintUtilities(c).print();
}
public PrintUtilities(Component componentToBePrinted) {
this.componentToBePrinted = componentToBePrinted;
index=0;
}
public void print() {
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this);
if (printJob.printDialog())
try {
printJob.print();
} catch(PrinterException pe) {
System.out.println("Error printing: " + pe);
}
}
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) {
// if (pageIndex > 0) {
if (index > 0) {
return(NO_SUCH_PAGE);
} else {
index ++;
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(),
pageFormat.getImageableY());
disableDoubleBuffering(componentToBePrinted);
componentToBePrinted.paint(g2d);
enableDoubleBuffering(componentToBePrinted);
return(PAGE_EXISTS);
}
}

RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
}

currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);
