## java.awt.print
Class Paper

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.print.Paper

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable

    public class Paper

extends Object
implements Cloneable

The `Paper` class describes the physical characteristics of a piece of paper.

When creating a `Paper` object, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that the paper size and the imageable area are compatible. For example, if the paper size is changed from 11 x 17 to 8.5 x 11, the application might need to reduce the imageable area so that whatever is printed fits on the page.

See Also:
  `setSize(double, double)`, `setImageableArea(double, double, double, double)`

Constructor Summary
`Paper()` Creates a letter sized piece of paper with one inch margins.

Method Summary
`Object` | `clone()` Creates a copy of this `Paper` with the same contents as this `Paper`.
`double` | `getHeight()` Returns the height of the page in 1/72nds of an inch.
`double` | `getImageableHeight()` Returns the height of this `Paper` object's imageable area.
`double` | `getImageableWidth()` Returns the width of this `Paper` object's imageable area.
`double` | `getImageableX()` Returns the x coordinate of the upper-left corner of this `Paper` object's imageable area.
`double` | `getImageableY()` Returns the y coordinate of the upper-left corner of this `Paper` object's imageable area.
`double` | `getWidth()` Returns the width of the page in 1/72nds of an inch.
`void` | `setImageableArea(double x, double y, double width, double height)` Sets the imageable area of this `Paper`.
`void` | `setSize(double width, double height)` Sets the width and height of this `Paper` object, which represents the properties of the page onto which printing occurs.

Constructor Detail

### Paper

    public Paper()

  Creates a letter sized piece of paper with one inch margins.

Method Detail

### clone

    public Object clone()

  Creates a copy of this `Paper` with the same contents as this `Paper`.

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a copy of this `Paper`.
  See Also:
    `Cloneable`

### getHeight

    public double getHeight()

  Returns the height of the page in 1/72nds of an inch.

  Returns:
    the height of the page described by this `Paper`.

### setSize

    public void setSize(double width,
                        double height)

  Sets the width and height of this `Paper` object, which represents the properties of the page onto which printing occurs. The dimensions are supplied in 1/72nds of an inch.

  Parameters:
    `width` - the value to which to set this `Paper` object's width
    `height` - the value to which to set this `Paper` object's height

### getWidth

    public double getWidth()

  Returns the width of the page in 1/72nds of an inch.

  Returns:
    the width of the page described by this `Paper`.

### setImageableArea

    public void setImageableArea(double x,
                                 double y,
                                 double width,
                                 double height)

  Sets the imageable area of this `Paper`. The imageable area is the area on the page in which printing occurs.

  Parameters:
    `x` - the X coordinate to which to set the upper-left corner of the imageable area of this `Paper`
    `y` - the Y coordinate to which to set the upper-left corner of the imageable area of this `Paper`
    `width` - the value to which to set the width of the imageable area of this `Paper`
    `height` - the value to which to set the height of the imageable area of this `Paper`

### getImageableX

    public double getImageableX()

  Returns the x coordinate of the upper-left corner of this `Paper` object's imageable area.

  Returns:
    the x coordinate of the imageable area.

### getImageableY

    public double getImageableY()

  Returns the y coordinate of the upper-left corner of this `Paper` object's imageable area.

  Returns:
    the y coordinate of the imageable area.

### getImageableWidth

    public double getImageableWidth()

  Returns the width of this `Paper` object's imageable area.

  Returns:
    the width of the imageable area.

### getImageableHeight

    public double getImageableHeight()

  Returns the height of this `Paper` object's imageable area.

  Returns:
    the height of the imageable area.
