Field Detail

KEY_PRINTING

public static final RenderingHints.Key KEY_PRINTING

You can use this RenderingHints.Key to mark your Graphics2D instances as currently printing a document.

See Also:

VALUE_PRINT_ON, VALUE_PRINT_OFF

VALUE_PRINT_ON

public static final Object VALUE_PRINT_ON

Setting this value for the KEY_PRINTING hint on your Graphics2D will mark it as being used for printing.

VALUE_PRINT_OFF

public static final Object VALUE_PRINT_OFF

Setting this value for the KEY_PRINTING hint on your Graphics2D will mark it as not being used anymore for printing.

KEY_PRINTING_TRANSFORM

public static final RenderingHints.Key KEY_PRINTING_TRANSFORM

You can use this RenderingHints.Key to put on your Graphics2D the additional AffineTransform instance used by your printing system.

Method Detail

setEnabledJNLPPrintingSupport

public static void setEnabledJNLPPrintingSupport(boolean enable)

Enables or disables the JNLP print support. This can be useful for signed JNLP applications.

Parameters:

enable - If false then the JNLP printing support will not be activated even if the service is available.

Since:

JViews 7.5

isEnabledJNLPPrintingSupport

public static boolean isEnabledJNLPPrintingSupport()

Returns true if JNLP support is enabled, and returns false otherwise.

Note that this does not test whether the JNLP support is available but just tests for whether the JNLP support will be enabled if the JNLP print service is available.

Since:

JViews 7.5

setNativePrintDialog

public static void setNativePrintDialog(boolean force)

Sets whether to use a native print dialog instead of the Swing cross-platform print dialog.

The cross-platform print dialog has the following advantages:

• It is not limited to native print services.
• It reflects various print attribute defaults set through the printing controller. In other words, the user is not asked to set the same settings twice.

The native print dialog has the advantage that it may offer to customize printer properties that the cross-platform dialog does not offer.

A choice between both kinds of dialogs has to be made, because of Sun bug #4673406.

The cross-platform print dialog is the default.

Parameters:

force - true if the native print dialog should be used.

Since:

JViews 8.8

isNativePrintDialog

public static boolean isNativePrintDialog()
