Package sos.preview Description

Provides classes and interfaces for previewing pages before they are printed. This package primarily includes two Swing components (JPrintPreviewPane and JPrintPreviewPage), four layout managers (FitAllLayout, FitLayout, MatrixLayout, and ZoomLayout), and a helper class (PrintPreviewSupport).

Developers wishing to add print preview to their applications need to do three things:

1. Provide an implementation of java.awt.print.Pageable that can divide the application-specific document into pages and can render the contents of each page
   
   
2. Create the Swing component by using, for example, one of the following factory methods in PrintPreviewSupport:
   
   JPanel createNavigationPanel( ... )
JPanel createZoomPanel( ... )
   
   
3. Add the new component to the application’s window.

The library allows extensive customization of the print preview component and helper class. For more information, see the Print Preview Tutorial.
