Class PrintDialog

java.lang.Object

de.mcp.cutcad.printdialog.PrintDialog

public class PrintDialog
extends java.lang.Object

Prepares the print dialog. Preparation consists of making a new window and processing applet. Furthermore, the shapes should be copied to be free of side effects while working with them in the print dialog. Another step needed for preparation is the calculation of the print instances

Constructor Detail

PrintDialog

public PrintDialog(java.util.List<Shape> shapes)

Creates an object that initialises a print dialog and calculates the objects which are necessary for the print dialog

Parameters:

shapes - Contains all the shapes which should be printed

Method Detail

preparePrintDialog

public void preparePrintDialog()

Prepares the print dialog. It copies the shapes such that no side effects can occur with the original shapes. Some properties of the shapes are altered to be able to use them in the print dialog. Furthermore, if there are laser cutter settings available, they are loaded. The window of the print dialog is created here.

loadPrintSettings

private void loadPrintSettings()

This method loads the settings for the laser cutter if any exists. These settings include laser cutter type, address and DPI.

copyShapes

private void copyShapes()

This method copies the shapes stored in shapes and stores the copies in preparedShapes. It furthermore alters the position to the upper left corner and sets the scalingfactor to be compatible with the print dialog. Lastly, the shape is scaled such that it size is correctly displayed in the print dialog.

calculateInstances

private void calculateInstances()

Determines the print instances. They depend on the materials used by the shapes. Every material type and thickness has its own print instance. The calculated instances are stored in printInstances.

addPrintDialogFrame

private PrintDialogWindow addPrintDialogFrame(int theWidth,
                                    int theHeight,
                                    java.util.ArrayList<PrintInstance> printInstances)

Creates a new frame and registers a new PrintDialogFrame with it. The PrintDialogFrame is a processing applet that handles the print dialog UI

Parameters:

theWidth - Sets the width of the print dialog window in Px

theHeight - Sets the height of the print dialog window in Px

printInstances - The printInstances to be used for the print dialog
