---------------------------------
Summary: [PATCH] Unfinished PCL Color printing patch
Key: FOP-2309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2309
Project: Fop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: pcl, svg
Affects Versions: 1.1
Environment: I'm currently testing in windows only, but should apply
to all
Reporter: James Burton
Fix For: 1.1
This patch adds the following:
- Supports color printing
- Replaces the run-length compression routine with one that will try
run-length, tagged image file format, delta row and if need be unencoded, which
ever is smallest.
- Handles images set to the left of the printable area, it will clip the
image by not sending down those bits.
The code currently has these issues (and would love suggestions on how to do
it):
- Need a way to specify if the printer supports color. You will get garbage
if you send color commands to an old black and white printer (although most
newer black and white printers will emulate color with greyscale). It is
currently controlled in the code with this line "final boolean
printerSupportsColor=true;"
- Color images are currently not scaled. This is because the application I'm
writing only expects FOP files with SVG. And SVG is always rendered to a 300
dpi 24 bit color image before being sent to the PCL module. This works for me.
- Should have a attribute for setting speed vs size of PCL output.
