PageFormat

[freesoft_2000]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to print something but i need to ask
something really so bare with me a little while

You know that for printing something using the java
printable interface you would have to overide this method

public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)

{
//all other codings
}

Now if i wanted to print something in a certain
format, i would this

public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)

{

if(pageFormat.getOrientation() == pageFormat.PORTRAIT)
{
//some codings
}

else
{
//for the calculation of pageFormat.LANDSCAPE and
//pageFormat.REVERSE_LANDSCAPE

//some codings
}

//all other codings
}

Now here is problem, how to i know if the user has
selected
OrientationRequested.REVERSE_PORTRAIT - (please note that this variable is
from the JAVA javax.print.attribute.standard.OrientationRequested and the
class that uses it is the PrintRequestAttribute from the JAVA Print
Service.

As you guys can see that from the page format api, it
does not have the variable REVERSE_PORTRAIT, so how do i test for it when
the printable interface method that is to be overridded only calculates
using the PageFormat class and not the print Attribute

I hope you guys are not confused by my question and am
open to any suggestions

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Richard West
