Hi,

I have a question about Java Print Preview.

I am trying to build a Print Preview in an efficient manner. The print
preview has an option to view the Landscape mode as well as Portrait
mode
or any other mode for that matter.

I pass the printable object to the PrintPreview class

PrintPreview preview = new PrintPreview( printable );
so if set the pageformat.setOrientation( LANDSCAPE );
then I cannot set it to PORTRAIT once LANDSCAPE is set.

Is it possible to change modes by using one printable object during run
time.

One way is to pass two printable objects. set one with LANDSCAPE mode
and
the other with PORTRAIT MODE. But I think this is inefficient.
Any help?

Thanks
