Class PreviewPanel

All Implemented Interfaces:
ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible

public class PreviewPanel extends JPanel

Holds a scrollpane with the rendered page(s) and handles actions performed to alter the display of the page.

Use PreviewPanel when you want to embed a preview in your own application with your own controls. Use PreviewDialog when you want to use the standard Fop controls.

In order to embed a PreviewPanel in your own app, create your own renderer, and your own agent. In order to support reloads, you may also implement your own Renderable extension or the default InputHandler. Setting the Renderable to null works fine though. Then call setPreviewDialogDisplayed(false) to hide the default dialog. Finally create a preview panel with the agent, renderable and renderer and add it to your gui:

 FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
 FOUserAgent agent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
 AWTRenderer renderer = new AWTRenderer(agent);
 agent.setRendererOverride(renderer);
 previewPanel = new PreviewPanel(agent, null, renderer);
 previewPanel = new PreviewPanel(ua);
 myGui.add(previewPanel);
 
In order to set options and display a page do:
 renderer.clearViewportList();
 // build report xml here
 reload(); // optional if setting changed
 
If you wan't to change settings, don't call reload. A good example is to set the page to fill the screen and set the scrolling mode:
 double scale = previewPanel.getScaleToFitWindow();
 previewPanel.setScaleFactor(scale);
 previewPanel.setDisplayMode(PreviewPanel.CONTINUOUS);
