Java resolution and print size for image

Question

I wrote a program that generates a BufferedImage for display on the screen and then prints. Part of the image includes 1 pixel grid lines. That is, the line is 1 pixel, about 10 pixels between the lines. Due to the screen resolution, the image is displayed much more than with a few pixels for each row. I would like to make it smaller, but when I scale the image (either using Image.getScaledInstance or Graphics2D.scale), I lose a significant amount of detail.

I would also like to print the image, and am dealing with the same problem. In this case, I use this code to set the permission:

HashPrintRequestAttributeSet set = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
PrinterResolution pr = new PrinterResolution(250, 250, ResolutionSyntax.DPI);
set.add(pr);
job.print(set);

which works to reduce the image without loss of detail. But the problem is that the image is cropped at the same border, as if I had not set the resolution. I'm also confused because I expected more DPI to make a smaller image, but it works differently.

I am using java 1.6 for Windows 7 with eclipse.

Answer 1

As for cropping the image at the page border, have you checked the clip area on the chart? I mean trying:

System.out.println(graphics.getClipBounds());

and make sure it is installed correctly.

...

    PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    // Create the paper size of our preference
    double cmPx300 = 300.0 / 2.54;
    Paper paper = new Paper();
    paper.setSize(21.3 * cmPx300, 29.7 * cmPx300);
    paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, 21.3 * cmPx300, 29.7 * cmPx300);
    PageFormat format = new PageFormat();
    format.setPaper(paper);
    // Assign a new print renderer and the paper size of our choice !
    job.setPrintable(new PrintReport(), format);

    if (job.printDialog()) {
        try {
            HashPrintRequestAttributeSet set = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
            PrinterResolution pr = new PrinterResolution((int) (dpi), (int) (dpi), ResolutionSyntax.DPI);
            set.add(pr);
            job.setJobName("Jobname");
            job.print(set);
        } catch (PrinterException e) {
        }
    }

Now you can draw everything you like into new high-resolution paper like this!

    public class PrintReport implements Printable {

    @Override
    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws PrinterException {
        // Convert pixels to cm to lay yor page easy on the paper...
        double cmPx = dpi / 2.54;
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        int totalPages = 2; // calculate the total pages you have...
        if (page < totalPages) {

            // Draw Page Header
            try {
                BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(ClassLoader.getSystemResource(imgFolder + "largeImage.png"));
                g2.drawImage(image.getScaledInstance((int) (4.8 * cmPx), -1, BufferedImage.SCALE_SMOOTH), (int) (cmPx),
                        (int) (cmPx), null);
            } catch (IOException e) {
            }
            // Draw your page as you like...
            // End of Page
            return PAGE_EXISTS;
        } else {
            return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
        }
    }

Answer 5

You can use one of the following actions to improve the quality of scaling. I believe that BiCubic gives better results, but slower than BILINEAR.

g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);

I would also not use Image.getScaledInstance (), since it is very slow. I am not sure about the press as I am struggling with similar issues.
