What is the line weight you are intending for the mPdfContentByte.closePathFillStroke()
call? Since this is just a line can you use closePathStroke() instead?
The problem of speed may be with the type of printer you are printing to and/or driver.
If you remove the PatternPainter portion of your code and just use a Black line, does
it
print quickly?

I am sorry that there happened a problem copy-pasting.
The actual code is:
mPdfContentByte.moveTo(mXValues[0] , mYValues[0]);
for (int lPoint = 1; lPoint < mXValues.length; lPoint++)
{
mX1 = mXValues[lPoint];
mY1 = mYValues[lPoint];
//Draw the line
mPdfContentByte.lineTo(mX1 , mY1);
}
//Generate the 45 degree line pattern
PdfPatternPainter lPdfPatternPainter =
mPdfContentByte.createPattern(4 , 4);
lPdfPatternPainter.stroke(); //Not doing any harm
lPdfPatternPainter.setLineWidth(0.35f);
lPdfPatternPainter.moveTo( -0.5f , 2f);
lPdfPatternPainter.lineTo(2 , 4.5f);
lPdfPatternPainter.moveTo(1 , -0.5f);
lPdfPatternPainter.lineTo(4.5f , 3);
lPdfPatternPainter.stroke();
mPdfContentByte.setPatternFill(lPdfPatternPainter);
//Filling the pattern
mPdfContentByte.closePathFillStroke();

Ramana.JV.

It doesn't look like you ever use the Pattern you have defined. I think you
need to use
mPdfContentByte.setPatternFill() and/or mPdfContentByte.setPatternStroke()
in order to use the pattern. When you print does it look correct (does your
pattern display)?
Also, I don't think your first call to lPdfPatternPainter.stroke() does
anything.
I don't think I've answered your speed question, but perhaps cleaning up
some of these will help?

I have digged into the printing problem and could find that the problem is
due to the use of patterns. Here is the way I am using patterns.
mPdfContentByte.moveTo(mXValues[0] , mYValues[0]);
for (int lPoint = 1; lPoint < mXValues.length; lPoint++)
{
mX1 = mXValues[lPoint];
mY1 = mYValues[lPoint];
//Draw the line
mPdfContentByte.lineTo(mX1 , mY1);
}
//Generate the 45 degree line pattern
PdfPatternPainter lPdfPatternPainter =
mPdfContentByte.createPattern(4 , 4);
lPdfPatternPainter.stroke();
lPdfPatternPainter.setLineWidth(0.35f);
lPdfPatternPainter.moveTo( -0.5f , 2f);
lPdfPatternPainter.lineTo(2 , 4.5f);
lPdfPatternPainter.moveTo(1 , -0.5f);
lPdfPatternPainter.lineTo(4.5f , 3);
lPdfPatternPainter.stroke();
mPdfContentByte.closePathFillStroke();
The above is in loop and for a particular graph this looped for 2 times.
The spool file size thus printed is 1MB and took almost 8 to 10 minutes to
print.
Am I doing something wrong?

Ramana.JV.

Subject: [iText-questions] Printing problem
Hello,
I am using PdfContentByte methods to draw graph using the lineTo() etc
methods of iText.
When I print the file through Acrobat the spool file size is around 1MB
and takes atleast 10 minutes to print.
Can anyone pl. tell me how to attack this problem?
Regards,
Ramana.JV.
