An implementation of Printable for printing JTables.

This implementation spreads table rows naturally in sequence across multiple pages, fitting as many rows as possible per page. The distribution of columns, on the other hand, is controlled by a printing mode parameter passed to the constructor. When JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL is used, the implementation handles columns in a similar manner to how it handles rows, spreading them across multiple pages (in an order consistent with the table's ComponentOrientation). When JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH is given, the implementation scales the output smaller if necessary, to ensure that all columns fit on the page. (Note that width and height are scaled equally, ensuring that the aspect ratio remains the same).

The portion of table printed on each page is headed by the appropriate section of the table's JTableHeader.

Header and footer text can be added to the output by providing MessageFormat instances to the constructor. The printing code requests Strings from the formats by calling their format method with a single parameter: an Object array containing a single element of type Integer, representing the current page number.

There are certain circumstances where this Printable cannot fit items appropriately, resulting in clipped output. These are:

  • In any mode, when the header or footer text is too wide to fit completely in the printable area. The implementation prints as much of the text as possible starting from the beginning, as determined by the table's ComponentOrientation.
  • In any mode, when a row is too tall to fit in the printable area. The upper most portion of the row is printed and no lower border is shown.
  • In JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL when a column is too wide to fit in the printable area. The center of the column is printed and no left and right borders are shown.

It is entirely valid for a developer to wrap this Printable inside another in order to create complex reports and documents. They may even request that different pages be rendered into different sized printable areas. The implementation was designed to handle this by performing most of its calculations on the fly. However, providing different sizes works best when JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH is used, or when only the printable width is changed between pages. This is because when it is printing a set of rows in JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL and the implementation determines a need to distribute columns across pages, it assumes that all of those rows will fit on each subsequent page needed to fit the columns.

It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure that the table is not modified in any way after this Printable is created (invalid modifications include changes in: size, renderers, or underlying data). The behavior of this Printable is undefined if the table is changed at any time after creation.
