Sample Swing Components
The JPDF provides a capability to preview and print Java Swing components of various types -- including
Text Components (
JTextPane,
JTextArea, and
JEditorPane), Table Components
(
JTable), Tree Components (
JTree), and Panel Components (
JPanel).
Additionally, a list of components can be arranged, previewed, and printed as a
single document.

To do this, click one of the links displayed to the left. The component for the selected

displayed component in some way (e.g. change its background color).
