PrintFigureOperation doesn't print whole figure. [message #53082]

I've got an IFigure which is larger than my Page. So I'd like the
Printing to be split over several pages, but PrintFigureOperation prints
only one page with the top-left part of my figure.

Is there a way to tell the Operation to split the figure or do i have to
do this by myself, using a normal PrintOperation?

Thanks for your help.

The PrintFigureOperation will only print one page, with your IFigure aligned
to the top-left corner of the page. The setupPrinterGraphicsFor() method
performs the scaling and top-left alignment, and printPages() prints it out.
In order to split your IFigure into several pages, you would have to
subclass PrintFigureOperation and override printPages() and/or
setupPrinterGraphicsFor().

So printPages() would become something like:

//
// Code to split printSource IFigure into n IFigures
//
for( int i=0; i < n; i++){
getPrinter.startPage();
figure[n].paint(printerGraphics);
getPrinter.endPage();
}

This type of printing should be supported in draw2d at some point. Feel free
to contribute if you implement this.

You probably want to print the same figure over and over on different pages.
You would still have a single print source. The only difference would be
that the PrinterGraphics would be translated to different "windows" of the
print source.

Another nice-to-have feature would be a zoom-to-fit option that would
squeeze a diagram onto one page. We would like to have this in draw2d
eventually, and like Dan said, feel free to submit any code to either the
newsgroup or mailin glist.

Here is my implementation of a PrintBigFigureOperation...
