Printing after an Event, from the Browser...

I am sorry ma'm. I apologize. I misunderstood your question..
Hopefully this will solve your problem...



import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class MyApplet extends Applet{
int[] x = { 10 , 50 , 88 };
int[] y = { 100 , 130 , 30 };
Polygon p;
int X = 0;
int Y = 0;
boolean isMouseOver;
Image img;
public void init(){
img = createImage( this.getBounds().width , this.getBounds().height );
p = new Polygon( x,y,3);
this.addMouseMotionListener( new MouseMotionAdapter(){
public void mouseMoved( MouseEvent e ){
if( p.contains( e.getX() , e.getY() )){
isMouseOver = true;
X+= 10 ;
Y+=10;
repaint();
}else{
isMouseOver = false;
}
}
});
}
public void paint( Graphics g ){
img.getGraphics().fillPolygon(p);
if( isMouseOver ){
img.getGraphics().drawString( "Poochi" , X , Y );
}
g.drawImage( img , 0 , 0 , this );
}
public void update( Graphics g ){
paint( g );
}
}





I tested this code. I am getting the printout( from the printer ) with the text "Poochi".
Basically , if you say print , the paint method will be called and that will paint on the
printer instead of screen. In your case you draws Polygon and ,since the isMouseOver is
false , it skips drawString line. Even though if it comes inside the if condition , you will
get only one text. So u are getting the Polygons only.

And , I am wondering , If you press ALT + TAB , what happend ? All the text which you
Printed on the screen would have been erased and you would have got the polygons only in the screen.
Am i correct ? Because of the reason i mentioned above. If you use my solution , you wont
get this problem. If you still haveing any problem , post it. Tell me whether it works or not.

Best of luck...

Poochi..

Hi,

I tried the Image object and I am able to get the text to be Printed ( printout for those that might get confused :-) ) from NETSCAPE!

But IE won't print it!

I have been using IE for all these tests and I was getting frustrated.
Another thing with IE is that the background of the Image is gray. I tried setting the img.getGraphics.setFont(Color.white), but no change. Of course without the Image, I could use the setBackground(Color.white) to change it to white.

And one thing to point out with your code -
use Graphics i = img.getGraphics();
and use object "i" each time to draw polygon/text etc. Otherwise, it gets reinstantiated.

Anyway, you get my 10 points!
Thanks a lot!
Uma.

That is not the background color of the Image. It's the background color of the Applet.
Still you can change the background color of the Applet using setBackground( Color.white )
method. Put it in your init() function.

> But IE won't print it!

Yes , just now i noticed it. I was trying to print from appletviewer. I hate these browsers.

And , thanks for those points. This the first time i am getting points in this forum. :-)

P.S : Are u working for 24 hours ? :-)

I had the setBackground(Color.white) in the init() method of the Applet but it was after the createImage() method call and so it didn't update the background. Then I changed it to be above that line and it worked!

Actually, I had this doubt about you!
