Hi all Great work Ralph. The results looks very good and I hope the next release contains your fix.
I've and additional wish for the AWTRenderer. Can anyone make the 'graphic' variable protected, to enable sublasses to draw on it? In my case I have to divide between final print and test print (crisscross the page and draw a test string on it). At this time I have to do it twice (without patching original sources). Firtsly at renderPage(Page) where I create my own Graphics2D instance after super.renderPage(Page) has finished and secondly on print with the passed in Graphics2D parameter. I think programmer who subclass the original know that they have to work with the graphics variable careful and are responsible for their own mistakes. Therefore I don't see a reason to hold the instance restrictively with private access. ThanX a lot (especially to ralph for the fix) cu Torsten > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralph LaChance [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Donnerstag, 16.
