Hi, Are there any news about the bug in Java 7u40 and 7u60 beta versions that prevents to print a shape filled with a pattern? Here'a simple simple example to let you test this issue:
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D; import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; import java.awt.print.*; public class PatternFillBug { public static void main(String [] args) throws PrinterException { PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); printerJob.setPrintable(new Printable() { public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int index) throws PrinterException { if (index == 1) { return NO_SUCH_PAGE; } // Create a simple pattern BufferedImage patternImage = new BufferedImage(2, 2, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); Graphics gImage = patternImage.getGraphics(); gImage.setColor(Color.WHITE); gImage.drawLine(0, 1, 1, 0); gImage.setColor(Color.BLACK); gImage.drawLine(0, 0, 1, 1); gImage.dispose(); Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D)g; // Fill a part of the page with pattern Rectangle2D.Double shape = new Rectangle2D.Double(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY(), pageFormat.getImageableWidth() / 5, pageFormat.getImageableHeight() / 5); g2D.setPaint(new TexturePaint(patternImage, new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, pageFormat.getImageableWidth() / 50, pageFormat.getImageableHeight() / 50))); g2D.fill(shape); // Surround it with a rectangle g2D.setPaint(Color.BLACK); g2D.draw(shape); return PAGE_EXISTS; } }); // Show print dialog and print if (printerJob.printDialog()) { printerJob.print(); } } } The bug happens also when you choose to print to PDF in OSX print dialog box. I reported this bug to Oracle in september 2013, but the URL keeps saying that the bug is not available: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=9007022 It would be nice to make submitted bugs public again when they are not related to a security issue. It's so frustrating to wonder if someone else posted the same bug. :-( Regards, -- Emmanuel PUYBARET Email : puyba...@eteks.com Web : http://www.eteks.com http://www.sweethome3d.com
