Well ... few printers can print on the entire paper. Photo printers are
the ones that can do this. So Paper dimension minus the "hardware margins"
are the maximum imageable width.
And then supposing imageable x/y is some perfectly reasonable value like
1" each
then you've set iw/ih such that even a printer with zero hardware
margins has
an imageable area that goes off the bottom and right off the paper.
More reasonable would be to constrain iw/ih such that they work with the
requested ix/iy - assuming they are also valid.
If all else fails then just using the "default" set of values as if the
application
had not set any values would be better.

Hi Phil,
I got it rectified.
Please find the modified webrev
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psadhukhan/6601097/webrev.01/
Regarding using entire width/height pf paper, I thought since
imageable width/height is invalid we should make the entire paper as
the imageable area.For invalid x,y we were making it to paper's top/left.
Else what option do we have, should we calculate
width[height]=abs(image[width][height]) instead?

It seems to me that you are using the wrong units.
You have not divided by DPI to get inches.
Also I am not sure that the *entire* width/height of the paper is
what you want here
but that is secondary to the first issue

Hi All,
Please review a fix for jdk9 which is a continuation of the fix of
JDK-6543815.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6601097
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psadhukhan/6601097/webrev.00/
6543815 fix resets the x,y to 0 if they are negative before creating
a MediaPrintableArea and the platform replaces it with hardware
margins when printing.
This works only if x/y is negative.
But, If either width/height is negative alongwith x or y, then the
margin is set to the java def 1 inch margin and not hardware margins.
This is because width/height -ve results in IAE in
MediaPrintableArea constructor and so values are ignored.
Added a check for -ve width/height to make sure width/height are set
to minimum paper width/height.

Prasanta
