Hello,
I'm trying to implement a printing mechanism for JTextArea but I have
a problem on extracting lines from it.
I used the xample found at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/printing/set.html
(PaginationExample class) but, instead of having available an array of
String (textlines), I have a JTextArea.
I need to replace the instruction

g.drawString(textLines[line], 0, y);

at line 93

with another, taking lines from the textarea.

Dou you know how I can do that?

Layne,

Ever since JDK1.6 the JTextArea has a method called getPrintable that

Ever since? You say that like 1.6 has been out for ages when in fact it's the latest version available and only came out within the last few months.

it gets from JTextComponent. You could start there instead of writing
your own printable.

Cheers,
Dan Andrews
