Hallo together,
after a long period of time another life sign of the
PrintLayout plugin. It's not in 'production ready' state
but development it is making good progress. We left the
'Hello, printer!' state. If you want have a first
glimpse at it you can check it out from CVS. You
will find some brief install and usage notes in README.txt.
BE WARNED: Some core features are actually missing, but
we are working on them. Mainly layout tool support
(group/ungroup, translate/scale/rotate, remove) are
not check in yet. So it is not very usefull at
the moment, but stay tuned and watch the ChangeLog.
CVS access is documented at [1] The module name is 'PrintLayoutPlugin'.
Some remarks:
The plugin uses a lot(!) of memory.
This is because of the conversion of the OpenJump maps to SVG DOM data.
We use Batik in almost the same manner as the OpenJump SVG file export
(rendering the OJ layers to a SVG context), but instead of saving
it to file we place it in a surrounding DOM document for further layout
purposes. This bloats it a lot. Therefore it is recommended to give
Java more heap -Xmx. We will eval later if there are possibities to
reduce the memory consumption.
The Batik libraries coming with OpenJump are not sufficient
because there are bugs in this version (e.g in the
needed classes JSVGScrollPane and PrintTranscoder) that are only
fixed in SVN. If you check out CVS you'll get jar files
that contains more recent versions of Batik. How to install them
is documented in README.txt
Best regards,
Sascha L. Teichmann
