Class PrintUtilities
java.lang.Object
cc.mallet.util.PrintUtilities
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- java.awt.print.Printable
public class PrintUtilities
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements java.awt.print.Printable
A simple utility class that lets you very simply print
an arbitrary component. Just pass the component to the
PrintUtilities.printComponent. The component you want to
print doesn't need a print method and doesn't have to
implement any interface or do anything special at all.
If you are going to be printing many times, it is marginally more
efficient to first do the following:
PrintUtilities printHelper = new PrintUtilities(theComponent);
then later do printHelper.print(). But this is a very tiny
difference, so in most cases just do the simpler
PrintUtilities.printComponent(componentToBePrinted).

disableDoubleBuffering
public static void disableDoubleBuffering(java.awt.Component c)
- The speed and quality of printing suffers dramatically if
any of the containers have double buffering turned on.
So this turns if off globally.
