Yes I know but in order to send data to the printer at the printer res I would need to implement a complement different painting path: the image is complex enough that I cache a lot of information instead of computing it on the fly within paintComponent. Now with a pdl path (e.g., when saving to PDF or using the "forbidden" pdl pipeline) I can simply apply a scaling factor and get mostly correct results (slight mismatches with fonts at most) whereas with a raster path I'd need to keep 2 copies of the plot around: one for for the screen and one for the printer, or else implement 2 modes: one with caching, another without. So it's a bother. -- O.L. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
