Hello everybody,
I have a ScrollingGraphicalViewer viewer which displays some GEF diagrams.
I want to print the diagram name in either header or footer.
This is the code that i use for printing.
PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog(shell, SWT.NULL);
PrinterData data = dialog.open();
if (data != null) {
PrintGraphicalViewerOperation op = new PrintGraphicalViewerOperation(
new Printer(data), baseViewer);
op.setPrintMode(PrintFigureOperation.FIT_PAGE);
op.run("test");
}
In the above code, baseViewer is of type ScrollingGraphicalViewer.
How can i print the diagram name in header or footer.
Please help me.
Thank you,
Best Regards
Shruthi

Hi shruti,
I've got a very similar problem. I want to print the graphic of my
GEF-Editor with a footer on each page.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to print my footer yet, although I
tried the hints mentioned below. I wrote my own PrintAction which starts
my own PrintGraphicalViewerWithFooterOperation.
In the Operation I tried modifying the code of the printPages()-method
but with no effect except that I got quite more pages than the graphic
originally needed (needes 3 pages I got 89!!)
I tried the code of the Bug mentioned below but all I got was some
errors while instantiating the GC (graphicsContext) with the printer I used.
So this code hasn't been much use.
Have you been able to print a header/footer yet?
If so, could you provide some code-snippets for me?
Thanks in advance
