Printing Papplet from Swing container
Jul 19th, 2006, 4:15pm  
Hello,
I have a chart Papplet inside a JPanel, call it ParentPanel. The ParentPanel also has a couple of other legend Jpanels inside it.

I want to fire a print command to print both the Papplet chart and the legend JPanels.

so in ParentPanel i do something like
ParentPanel

     Dimension size = ParentPanel.getSize();
      BufferedImage myImage =
        new BufferedImage(size.width,size.height,
        BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
      Graphics2D g2 = myImage.createGraphics();
((PApplet)chart).paint(g2);
legendPanel.paint(g2);

This makes an image but, the legendPanel is painted on the top of the page instaed of after the PApplet.

If to try to do a parentPanel.paint(g2) the PApplet chart is not printed at all.

How do i print an JPanel with Papplet and other JPanels within it, maintianing their relative poistions?

Thank you
Sameer

In your Swing app's init code:
   
MyPApplet mpa = new MyPApplet();
mpa.init();
add(mpa);
pack();
// this last two lines must be in the class that extends some kind of  container, like a JFrame or JPanel
// nothing will happen until you call init() on your PApplet

Cheers!
