      javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSize

All Implemented Interfaces:
    Attribute, Cloneable, java$io$Serializable

Class MediaSize is a two-dimensional size valued printing attribute class that indicates the dimensions of the medium in a portrait orientation, with the X dimension running along the bottom edge and the Y dimension running along the left edge. Thus, the Y dimension must be greater than or equal to the X dimension. Class MediaSize declares many standard media size values, organized into nested classes for ISO, JIS, North American, engineering, and other media.

MediaSize is not yet used to specify media. Its current role is as a mapping for named media (see MediaSizeName ). Clients can use the mapping method MediaSize.getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName) to find the physical dimensions of the MediaSizeName instances enumerated in this API. This is useful for clients which need this information to format & paginate printing.

Nested Class Summary:
public static final class  MediaSize.ISO  Class MediaSize.ISO includes {@link MediaSize MediaSize} values for ISO media.

 

public static final class  MediaSize.JIS  Class MediaSize.JIS includes {@link MediaSize MediaSize} values for JIS (Japanese) media. * 
public static final class  MediaSize.NA  Class MediaSize.NA includes {@link MediaSize MediaSize} values for North American media. 
public static final class  MediaSize.Engineering  Class MediaSize.Engineering includes {@link MediaSize MediaSize} values for engineering media. 
public static final class  MediaSize.Other  Class MediaSize.Other includes {@link MediaSize MediaSize} values for miscellaneous media.

INCH,  MM
Constructor:
 public MediaSize(float x,
    float y,
    int units) 
 public MediaSize(int x,
    int y,
    int units) 
 public MediaSize(float x,
    float y,
    int units,
    MediaSizeName media) 
    Construct a new media size attribute from the given floating-point values.
    Parameters:
    x - X dimension.
    y - Y dimension.
    units - Unit conversion factor, e.g. Size2DSyntax.INCH or Size2DSyntax.MM.
    media - a media name to associate with this MediaSize
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if x < 0 or y < 0 or units < 1 or x > y.
    exception: IllegalArgumentException - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if x < 0 or y < 0 or units < 1 or x > y.
 public MediaSize(int x,
    int y,
    int units,
    MediaSizeName media) 
    Construct a new media size attribute from the given integer values.
    Parameters:
    x - X dimension.
    y - Y dimension.
    units - Unit conversion factor, e.g. Size2DSyntax.INCH or Size2DSyntax.MM.
    media - a media name to associate with this MediaSize
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if x < 0 or y < 0 or units < 1 or x > y.
    exception: IllegalArgumentException - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if x < 0 or y < 0 or units < 1 or x > y.

Method from javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSize Detail:
 public boolean equals(Object object) 
    Returns whether this media size attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
    1. object is not null.
    2. object is an instance of class MediaSize.
    3. This media size attribute's X dimension is equal to object's X dimension.
    4. This media size attribute's Y dimension is equal to object's Y dimension.
 public static MediaSizeName findMedia(float x,
    float y,
    int units) 
    The specified dimensions are used to locate a matching MediaSize instance from amongst all the standard MediaSize instances. If there is no exact match, the closest match is used.

    The MediaSize is in turn used to locate the MediaSizeName object. This method may return null if the closest matching MediaSize has no corresponding Media instance.

    This method is useful for clients which have only dimensions and want to find a Media which corresponds to the dimensions.

 public final Class<Attribute> getCategory() 
    Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

    For class MediaSize and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category is class MediaSize itself.

 public static MediaSize getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName media) 
    Get the MediaSize for the specified named media.
 public MediaSizeName getMediaSizeName() 
    Get the media name, if any, for this size.
 public final String getName() 
    Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

    For class MediaSize and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category name is "media-size".
