How to get correct area for printing nattable? [message #1576481] Wed, 21 January 2015 05:39 Go to next message

I am trying to print my nattable using Tutorial example as reference. The problem is that the nattable gets printed in such a small area on paper that it is difficult to properly view it. For example, the entire nattable occupies 1/8th area of the paper.

I tried built in nattable.doCommand(new PrintCommand(...)) initially, and got the above mentioned issue. (I added the stated nattable configurations as per the tutorial example)

Then I tried printing by using LayerPainter. The underlying layer I am trying to print is a CompositeLayer. I added my custom layerpainter and made some changes, but the size of the printed nattable did not increase. Please help.

A custom LayerPainter won't help. You need to check the LayerPrinter. Maybe there is an issue with the DPI calculation.

Okay, sounds reasonable. I checked that returning a larger print area from the computePrintArea(Printer) increases the height, but not the width.

I think it is related to computeScaleFactor() where a scaling factor is calculated dependent to the DPI of your display and the DPI of your printer. So I would search there.
