Hello,

I am trying to create a custom print mechanism that prints a GMF diagram
with out showing the dialog box that usually comes up in GMF print.

Does anyone have tried this before? Is there a custom command that will
print a gmf diagram with out showing the dialog box?

Hope to hear from someone.

Thanks in advance

Mike

It's easy, prepare a PrintData for PrintOperation as same as the
PrintDialog produced.

Hello David BY Chan,

First of all thanks a lot for replying.

Basically what I am looking forward to is open up diagrams one by one and
print it so that I can print all diagrams in a project in a single stretch
as opening one by one in editor and print is time consuming.

Now I can open the diagram from my customEnhancedPrintActionHelper class
like this

URI diagramModelFilename = URI.createURI("test.mydomain_diagram"");
GMFResource myGMFDiagram = new GMFResource(diagramModelFilename);
try {
myGMFDiagram.load(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
MydomainEditorUtil.openDiagram(myGMFDiagram);

} catch (IOException e1) {

e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (PartInitException e) {
System.out.println("Error opening diagram editor"+e.getStatus());

}

I need a method to print this opened diagram. I have made a custom method
for that

private static void printDiagrams(IEditorPart editorPart,DiagramPrinter
diagramPrinter) {

final Printer printer = new Printer();
diagramPrinter.setPrinter(printer);
diagramPrinter.setDisplayDPI(Display.getDefault().getDPI());

DiagramEditPart dgrmEP = ((IDiagramWorkbenchPart)
editorPart).getDiagramEditPart();

assert dgrmEP != null;

diagramPrinter.setDiagrams(Collections.singletonList(((IDiag ramWorkbenchPart)
editorPart).getDiagram()));
diagramPrinter.run();
printer.dispose();

}

This prints the diagram but it is the one already left open in the editor
not the one I open using java code(GMF enables the print menu only when
atleast a diagram is open). I want to know how to pass the object of this
opened diagram so that it prints only that one.If I could read this opened
diagram object, I can set it using diagramPrinter.setDiagrams(...);

I would be very grateful if some one could help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Mike
