Description : Simplified Java Printing Support for SWT
Simple, light weight, extensible Java printing plug-in for SWT.
PaperClips hides the complexity of laying out and rendering documents on
the printer, helping you focus on what to print instead of how to print
it.
In a nutshell, PaperClips provides an assortment of document "building
blocks," which you can tweak and combine to form a custom document. The
assembled document is then sent to PaperClips for printing. PaperClips
includes support for printing text, images, borders, headers and
footers, column layouts and grid layouts, to name a few. It can also be
extended with your own printable classes.
With PaperClips you do not have to track cursors, calculate line
breaking, fool around with font metrics, or manage system
resources--it's all handled internally. And unlike report-generation
tools, you are not constrained to a predefined document structure (like
report bands). Every document is custom and the layout is up to you.
This is a dependency of jameica (Debian Bug #562862).
