Overview of the support for printing

Rogue Wave® JViews provides the following support for printing:
  • A generic printing framework
  • Extensions to the generic printing framework
You can use the generic printing framework to implement printing capabilities in your Java™ applications. You can specify printing parameters, preview the document before printing it, and print the document by sending it to the specified printer.
Note
The printing framework is independent of any Rogue Wave JViews product, and therefore can be used to print other types of documents.
The printing framework classes are defined in the package ilog.views.util.print.
Rogue Wave JViews includes several extensions of the printing framework to help you print the content of various components, such as 2D graphics in the JViews Framework (documented in Printing framework for manager content), Gantt diagrams, or Charts. See the documentation of these products for more information.
