Don,

I had a look on the examples as suggested and I didn't find anything
relevant to my problem (I didn't find anything about scaling the plot to
full page). I modified my printing method like this :

    PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    setPageScaleMode(AbstractPane.TO_FIT);
    printJob.setPrintable(this, pageFormat_ );
    if ( printJob.printDialog() ) {
      try {
        RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(this);
        currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
        printJob.print();
        currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);
      }
      catch (PrinterException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
      }
    }

But it behaves exactly like before. As a clue, the bigger I make the graph
(by maximizing the window and resizing the app), the smaller on the paper.
If I make the graph tiny, I could barely see the graph on the paper because
it is so large and of course heavily clipped.

I use JPlotLayout's print method, should I override it and make some
translate and/or some scaling? Do you have any portion of code that could
help me? What I need is really simple : I want to print the graph and
shrink/extend it to the full page.

Patrick,
	Look at the printing in gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.demo.BeanDemo.java,
JGridDemo, or JVectorDemo.  There are issues about position on the
printed page and about scaling the plot to fit the page.  If you still
have questions let me know.

Don
