Class MediaSize

Implemented Interfaces:
Attribute, Cloneable, Serializable

public class MediaSize
extends Size2DSyntax
implements Attribute

The MediaSize printing attribute class specifies the size of a printing media. The size is defined in portrait orientation with x at the bottom edge and y at the left edge.

There are several media sizes predefined through the nested classes. Further sizes may be provided by the application. MediaSize is not used as a printing attribute currently. It may be used to get the actual sizes for a named media or to find a suitable MediaSizeName instance by querying with the needed sizes.

IPP Compatibility: MediaSize is not an IPP 1.1 attribute.

MediaSize

public MediaSize(float x,
                 float y,
                 int units)
Creates a MediaSize object. The created object will be added to an internal cache used in the static methods of this class for lookup of available MediaSize instances.
Parameters:
x - the size in x direction
y - the size in y direction
units - the units to use for the sizes
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if x or y < 0 or units < 1

MediaSize

public MediaSize(float x,
                 float y,
                 int units,
                 MediaSizeName media)
Creates a MediaSize object associated with the given media name. The created object will be added to an internal cache used in the static methods of this class for lookup of available MediaSize instances.
Parameters:
x - the size in x direction
y - the size in y direction
units - the units to use for the sizes
media - the media name to associate
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if x or y < 0 or units < 1

MediaSize

public MediaSize(int x,
                 int y,
                 int units)
Creates a MediaSize object. The created object will be added to an internal cache used in the static methods of this class for lookup of available MediaSize instances.
Parameters:
x - the size in x direction
y - the size in y direction
units - the units to use for the sizes
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if x or y < 0 or units < 1

MediaSize

public MediaSize(int x,
                 int y,
                 int units,
                 MediaSizeName media)
Creates a MediaSize object associated with the given media name. The created object will be added to an internal cache used in the static methods of this class for lookup of available MediaSize instances.
Parameters:
x - the size in x direction
y - the size in y direction
units - the units to use for the sizes
media - the media name to associate
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if x or y < 0 or units < 1

Method Details

? extends Attribute> getCategory

public Class< ? extends Attribute> getCategory()
Returns category of this class.
Specified by:
? extends Attribute> getCategory in interface Attribute
Returns:
The class MediaSize itself.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Tests if the given object is equal to this object.
Overrides:
equals in interface Size2DSyntax
Parameters:
obj - the object to test
Returns:
true if both objects are equal, false otherwise.

findMedia

public static MediaSizeName findMedia(float x,
                                      float y,
                                      int units)
Searches for a MediaSize object with the given dimensions. If none is found with exact dimensions, the closest match is used. Afterwards the MediaSizeName of the found MediaSize object is returned - which might be null if none is specified.
Parameters:
x - the dimension for x
y - the dimension for y
units - the units to be used for comparison
Returns:
the corresponding MediaSizeName object, or null

getMediaSizeForName
