Interface Pageable

All Known Implementing Classes:
  Book

    public interface Pageable

The `Pageable` implementation represents a set of pages to be printed. The `Pageable` object returns the total number of pages in the set as well as the `PageFormat` and `Printable` for a specified page.

See Also:
  `PageFormat`, `Printable`

Field Summary
`static int` | `UNKNOWN_NUMBER_OF_PAGES` This constant is returned from the `getNumberOfPages` method if a `Pageable` implementation does not know the number of pages in its set.

Method Summary
`int` | `getNumberOfPages()` Returns the number of pages in the set.
`PageFormat` | `getPageFormat(int pageIndex)` Returns the `PageFormat` of the page specified by `pageIndex`.
`Printable` | `getPrintable(int pageIndex)` Returns the `Printable` instance responsible for rendering the page specified by `pageIndex`.

Field Detail

### UNKNOWN_NUMBER_OF_PAGES

    static final int UNKNOWN_NUMBER_OF_PAGES

  This constant is returned from the `getNumberOfPages` method if a `Pageable` implementation does not know the number of pages in its set.

    Constant Field Values

Method Detail

### getNumberOfPages

    int getNumberOfPages()

  Returns the number of pages in the set. To enable advanced printing features, it is recommended that `Pageable` implementations return the true number of pages rather than the UNKNOWN_NUMBER_OF_PAGES constant.

  Returns:
    the number of pages in this `Pageable`.

### getPageFormat

    PageFormat getPageFormat(int pageIndex)
                             throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

  Returns the `PageFormat` of the page specified by `pageIndex`.

  Parameters:
    `pageIndex` - the zero based index of the page whose `PageFormat` is being requested
  Returns:
    the `PageFormat` describing the size and orientation.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the `Pageable` does not contain the requested page.

### getPrintable

    Printable getPrintable(int pageIndex)
                           throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

  Returns the `Printable` instance responsible for rendering the page specified by `pageIndex`.

  Parameters:
    `pageIndex` - the zero based index of the page whose `Printable` is being requested
  Returns:
    the `Printable` that renders the page.
  Throws:
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the `Pageable` does not contain the requested page.
