Method Detail

minimumSize

public org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point minimumSize()

Description copied from interface: PrintIterator

Returns the minimum size PrintPiece that this Print should be broken into.

Note that the size calculated by this method is a "preferred minimum," or the smallest size that the Print should normally be broken into. For a TextPrint, this is the size of the widest individual word, in pixels.

This is distinct from the "absolute minimum," which is the smallest size that a Print could possibly be broken into. For a TextPrint, this is the size of the widest individual letter, in pixels.

Specified by:

minimumSize in interface PrintIterator

Returns:

a Point indicating the minimum size PrintPiece this PrintIterator should be broken into.

preferredSize

public org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point preferredSize()

Description copied from interface: PrintIterator

Returns the smallest size PrintPiece that this Print would be broken into if print space was unlimited.

For a TextPrint, this is the size of the widest line (or the whole TextPrint, if there are no line breaks), in pixels.

Specified by:

preferredSize in interface PrintIterator

Returns:

a Point indicating the smallest size PrintPiece that this Print would be broken into if print space was unlimited.

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Description copied from interface: PrintIterator

Identifies whether any PrintPieces remain.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface PrintIterator

Returns:

whether any PrintPieces remain.

computeColSizes

int[] computeColSizes(int width)

computeColOffsets

org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point[] computeColOffsets(int[] colSizes)

nextColumns

PrintPiece[] nextColumns(PrintIterator iterator,
                         int[] colSizes,
                         int height)

Iterates across the given column sizes and returns an array of PrintPieces to fill those columns, or null if there was insufficient room to continue iterating. A backup of the given iterator should be taken before invoking this method! If null is returned, the given iterator is corrupt and should no longer be used!

Parameters:

colSizes - an array of column sizes

height - the height

Returns:

an array of PrintPieces for the given column sizes, or null

createResult

PrintPiece createResult(PrintPiece[] pieces,
                        int[] colSizes)

next

public PrintPiece next(int width,
                       int height)

Description copied from interface: PrintIterator

Returns the next PrintPiece for the Print.

If all of the remaining contents of the Print will fit in the given space, the returned PrintPiece will include all remaining contents, and subsequent calls to PrintIterator.hasNext() will return false.

If some, but not all of the remaining contents will fit in the given space, the returned PrintPiece will contain as much of the contents as possible, and subsequent calls to PrintIterator.hasNext() will return true.

If there is insufficient space for any of the remaining contents in the given space, null is returned, and subsequent calls to PrintIterator.hasNext() will return true.

If subsequent calls to PrintIterator#hasNext() return true, this PrintIterator cannot fit any more in the given print area. Future calls to this method should provide a fresh print area. At the top level, each returned PrintPiece contains an entire page.

Note: PrintIterator classes should call PaperClips.next(PrintIterator, int, int) instead of calling this method directly, to gain automatic results checking to ensure all Print classes are well-behaved.

Specified by:

next in interface PrintIterator

Parameters:

width - the width available on the graphics device for this iteration.

height - the height available on the graphics device for this iteration.

Returns:

a PrintPiece that paints the next part of the Print, or null if the print area is too small. The size of the returned PrintPiece must NOT exceed the width and height indicated.

copy

public PrintIterator copy()

Description copied from interface: PrintIterator

Returns a copy of this PrintIterator, with all relevant internal states. This method allows a containing iterator to "back up" the current state of its child iterators before invoking next(int, int) on them. The containing iterator can then safely attempt iterating its child(ren) in a variety of ways before selecting which way is the most appropriate.

Specified by:

copy in interface PrintIterator

Returns:

a deep clone of the target with all relevant internal states.
