Class BigPrint

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.sf.paperclips.BigPrint
All Implemented Interfaces:
Print

public final class BigPrint
extends java.lang.Object
implements Print

A wrapper for prints whose minimum size is too large to fit on one page. The target's content is divided across multiple pages like a spreadsheet. Pages are printed in order left-to-right, then top-to-bottom.

Note that this print lays out content under the assumption that every page will have the same pixel width and height. If a BigPrint is wrapped in a print that violates this expectation, it is likely that the output will skip and/or repeat certain portions of the target's content. Some examples of this behavior:

Method Detail

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Overrides:
hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object

getTarget

public Print getTarget()
Returns the wrapped print which is being split across pages.

Returns:

iterator

public PrintIterator iterator(org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device device,
                              org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC gc)
Description copied from interface: Print
Returns a PrintIterator for laying out the contents of this Print. The iterator uses a snapshot of the print at the time this method is invoked, so subsequent changes to the Print will not affect the output of the iterator.

Specified by:
iterator in interface Print
Parameters:
device - the graphics device this Print will be drawn onto.
gc - the graphics context to be used for calculating layout and drawing the Print's contents.
Returns:
a PrintIterator for laying out the contents of this Print.
