Class EPSOutputHandler

java.lang.Object
  y.io.IOHandler
      yext.export.io.OutputHandler
          yext.export.io.EPSOutputHandler

public class EPSOutputHandler
extends OutputHandler

Writes a Graph2D in EPS vector graphics format.

The size, viewport and zoom level of the output will be determined by the Graph2DView associated with the input graph.

An EPSOutputHandler is used the same way as any other IOHandler. E.g. the simplest way to export a given Graph2D instance to EPS is:

 try {
   new EPSOutputHandler().write(graph2D, "myGraphAsEPS.eps");
 } catch(IOException ex) {
   // error handling code
 }

Field Summary

static byte	PLAIN_TEXT Text handling policy which will result in regular text (i.e. plain text glyphs).
static byte	PLAIN_TEXT_WITH_EMBEDDED_FONTS Text handling policy which will result in regular text (i.e. plain text glyphs) and fonts used in labeled graph elements being embedded into the resulting PDF output.
static byte	VECTORIZED_TEXT Text handling policy which will result in text being rendered as vectorized shapes instead of plain text glyphs.

Constructor Summary

EPSOutputHandler()
Creates a new instance of EPSOutputHandler

Method Summary

String	getFileNameExtension() Returns "eps", the standard file name extension for Encapsulated PostScript.
byte	getTextRenderingPolicy() Returns the text handling policy used by this output handler.
void	setTextRenderingPolicy(byte textRenderingPolicy) Specifies the text handling policy to be used by this output handler.

Field Detail

PLAIN_TEXT

public static final byte PLAIN_TEXT

Text handling policy which will result in regular text (i.e. plain text glyphs).

See Also:

setTextRenderingPolicy(byte), PLAIN_TEXT_WITH_EMBEDDED_FONTS, VECTORIZED_TEXT, Constant Field Values

PLAIN_TEXT_WITH_EMBEDDED_FONTS

public static final byte PLAIN_TEXT_WITH_EMBEDDED_FONTS

Text handling policy which will result in regular text (i.e. plain text glyphs) and fonts used in labeled graph elements being embedded into the resulting PDF output.

Although font embedding ensures that the original graph element's label font can be used when displaying or printing PDF on a platform where that font is not normally available, it is not always advisable to embed fonts, e.g. when the size of the generated PDF needs to be kept as small as possible or when a font's license terms prohibit embedding.

setTextRenderingPolicy(byte), PLAIN_TEXT, VECTORIZED_TEXT, Constant Field Values

VECTORIZED_TEXT

public static final byte VECTORIZED_TEXT

Text handling policy which will result in text being rendered as vectorized shapes instead of plain text glyphs.

Rendering text as vectorized shapes will result in smoothly scalable vector graphics and prevent the need for font embedding at the expense of generating output that is no PDF text and therefore cannot be selected as such.
