Re: [JAVA2D] Taking advantage of printer's native resolution

[Jim Graham]

A line width of 0 should produce the thinnest line representable on the 
device.  If the line disappears then that is a bug...

For an arbitrary printer, how can I print a single line that is one printer dot wide by N dots long, ie, print the finest line the printer is capable of printing? 


For a 300dpi printer this line would be a line 1/300 wide. For a 2400dpi printer 
this would be a line 1/2400 wide, etc.

Thanks!

[JAVA2D] Taking advantage of printer's native resolution

Re: [JAVA2D] Taking advantage of printer's native resolution

[Phil Race]

In the print() method look at the graphics transform and scale down 
accordingly.


Eg if the printer is 360 dpi, then the transform will report a scale of 
(5,5) so you need

to apply a user scale of 1/5, 1/5.

Then a 1 pixel user space line will be 1 device pixel.

FYI  printers that say they are 2400 dpi are not necessarily truely that 
fine so it may not

be that a line is 1/2400 but that's a matter for the printer vendor.
