Swing is a UI toolkit and generating CGM is beyond its scope. I don't know of any solution currently. As you are perhaps hinting at and someone else suggested if you can select a postscript printer and print to a file then you may be able to find a converter from PS to CGM. This is ugly however and made more so by the lack of an API to silently specify printing to a file (currently it can only be specified through user interaction) Saving 2D graphics to some kind of metafile may be supported in the future, quite possibly based on the W3C's SVG standard under development. Converters will likely exist between the SVG standard and CGM. However that's a long way in the future and won't help you now. -Phil. > > I have an application that renders a bunch of graphics into > a JScrollPane. > > In the industry I work in most people use big electrostatic > plotters.
