Hi,

The applet's DiagramView class has a print(PageFormat, String) method that can be used to specify the orientation and printable area size. If you know Java, you might extend the DiagramApplet class and add a method that calls print() with the setting you need. Otherwise, since Internet Explorer does not support instantiating Java classes from JavaScript, we'll have to add a ScripHelper.createPageFormat method to let you create a PageFormat object from script.

This version of the applet adds createPaper and createPageFormat methods to ScriptHelper:

The PageFormat.setPaper(Paper) method lets you change the paper size. You can see the PageFormat and Paper Java docs here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/print/PageFormat.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/print/Paper.html

However I remember there were some security restrictions when you try to print to the non-default printer from an applet. Those might apply to changing some of the default printer setting too.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

There is an internal PageFormat field in the print preview class too, we'll add a public setter for it.

Hi again,
I would need your help on how to apply this PageFormat object to the Print and PrintPreview?

Thank you.

Yes, thank you! 

When you make changes on the fly, are they actually going to make it to the release versions?

It would also be nice if printPreview could be called with a PageFormat as well.

Hello,

I have been playing with the above code/objects and I'm hitting a wall: It seems I can change the size of the paper, but the contents is always sized for Letter paper.

I want to print on Legal paper, Landscape view.

Here's the code that I'm using (which doesn't work)... Please help! 

    var diagram = fcApplet.getDiagramView().getDiagram();
    var scriptHelper = sbApplet.getScriptHelper();
    var paper = scriptHelper.createPaper();
    var pageformat = scriptHelper.createPageFormat();

    paper.setSize(612.0, 1008.0);   //8.5*14 in 1/72nds of inches
    paper.setImageableArea(0.0, 0.0, 612.0, 1008.0);
    pageformat.setPaper(paper);
    pageformat.setOrientation(pageformat.LANDSCAPE);

    var po = fcApplet.getDiagramView().getPrintOptions();
    po.setEnableFitToPage(true);
    po.setDocumentName('');
    po.setHeaderFormat(''); 

    fcApplet.getDiagramView().print(pageformat, null);

Thank you, this is working much better!

Your responsiveness is great.
