The Generic Printing Framework

ILOG JViews provides a generic printing framework, as well as extensions of this generic framework that allow you to print structured graphics. This section describes the generic printing framework. The extensions are documented in Printing Framework for Manager Content.

You can use the generic printing framework to implement printing capabilities in your Java applications. You can specify printing parameters, preview the document before printing it, and print the document by sending it to the specified printer.

Note

The printing framework is independent of any ILOG JViews product, and therefore can be used to print other types of documents.

ILOG JViews includes several extensions of the printing framework to help you print the content of various components, such as 2D graphics in the JViews Framework (documented in Printing Framework for Manager Content), Gantt diagrams, or Charts. Please refer to the documentation of these products for more information.

The printing framework classes are defined in the package ilog.views.util.print.
