[JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Matthias Scholz]

Hi Ede,

as we have discussed in november 2013 i'm now ready for integrate the 
SkyPrinterPlugIn-1.0.0.jar into the CORE distribution. But how we do 
this? What i have to do? I'm not really a maven guy, so it would be nice 
if you can do that. Later updates can i do.

At the moment the code in the /plug-ins/SkyPrinterPlugIn can build the 
JAR file with ant. Please tell me, how we would do that.

regards

Matthias

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

I tried to install version 0.1.1 from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/files/OpenJUMP_plugins/Printing%20Plugins/SkyPrinter%20Plugin/
 on Windows 7 and jre 7-64 bit.  I copied the jar file into lib\ext and I added 
a new line into default-plugins
com.isa.jump.plugin.PrintPlugIn

However, SkyPrinter is not installed. Any idea why not?  The log says
2014-03-17 10:06:33,043  INFO java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[edgar . soldin]

two pairs of shoes.. 
lib/ext/*.jar - 
 install themselves via Extension mechanism
lib/*.jar - 
 CORE libs containing plugins installed via default-plugins.xml

and an outdated version anyway ;). Matthias just build 1.0.0 but obviously 
didn't release it in the sf.net files section.

Matthias: can you please put it on 
 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/files/OpenJUMP_plugins/Printing%20Plugins/SkyPrinter%20Plugin/
 for people to test out?

wrt. to the integration.

@All.. is there agreement that this is wanted in CORE, or would we rather have 
it in PLUS, to keep CORE lean?

Matthias: you might wanna read the old thread on what we "negotiated"

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

If it works on Win/Linux/Mac and 32-bit/64-bit then absolutely into core. The 
jar is only about 40 kb and makes it possible to print PDF files with user 
selectable layers which is a very nice feature. I was just asked to make such a 
map and I am working on it with SkyJUMP.

We can have a File -> Print submenu with SkyPrint in CORE and SkyPrint + 
Geoff's plugin in the PLUS.

I read it yesterday again. To get the SkyPrinter run from lib/ext we 
need the itext jar in the lib path. Ede, should i move the 
itext-2.1.7.jar from lib/plus into lib/ and copy 
SkyPrinterPlugIn-1.0.0.jar to the SVN into lib/ext or do you do that 
during release build

I am undecided, but Printing should be a core feature. However, what 
Matthias proposed maybe best as Geoffs Printing is a bit heavier and 
people should know by now that the goodies come with PLUS (hopefully).

ok, that's 1MB extra.. that smells like PLUS to me then.

i'd suggest

File->Print->Printer (Cadplan)
 Printer (SkyPrint)

as to differentiate the two. trying to describe the difference would be to 
difficult in a short menu item's text.
this can easily be done with the new install mechanism. default-plugins.xml can 
override the install setting of any extension. the string would go into OJ 
language files then.

for PLUS this is handled easily. everything in trunk/lib/plus/ is simply copied 
into lib/ext/ during the PLUS release build. so, after Jukka or others 
"approved" the extension you might simply

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

Let SkyPrint be in the Plus then. However, then Core will still remain without 
printing capabilities which I think it would deserve.
But there is already the "Save view as.." option in Core. If I think my own 
printing needs I need very often not only the map on a paper but also title, 
legend in a good place and fixed, selectable scale. Having these features 
brings the core printer pretty close to Cadplan printer plugin so perhaps OJ 
Core will live without printing options.
For me title and legend and more frequently needed options than layered PDF 
which is the biggest gig in Skyprint.  Perhaps it could be possible to add 
layering into Cadplan printer which also seems to be able to write PDF files 
with iText.

I have a small wish for the SkyPrint plugin: it could have a dropdown menu for 
selecting the most common paper sizes for PDF dimensions.

i'd suggest

File->Print->Printer (Cadplan)
 Printer (SkyPrint)

as to differentiate the two. trying to describe the difference would be to

this can easily be done with the new install mechanism. default-plugins.xml can

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Michael Michaud]

Hi ,

Although I'm generally not in favour of adding new dependencies
to the core, I think that
- printing is a core feature
- having two printers in PLUS and none in CORE is a bit strange

So my vote is to add the new printer to the CORE

As for the name, an other option would be
File > Print > Printer
File > Print > Printer (advanced)
or
File > Print > Printer (core)
File > Print > Printer (plus)

My two cents

Michaël

I am in favour of Ede's proposal.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Michael Michaud]

Hi Geoff, Matthias

Thanks a lot for the offer Geoff.

As I'm not a daily user of printing features, my main concern
for now is to rationalize developpements and to develop in a
useful way.
To help heading in that direction, may advice would be
- to make a detailed comparison of skyprinter and cadplan
printer features
- to make a small survey about how people use them and how
they are satisfied with them
- to study how they can converge or how they can complete
each other in future developments

But the first step is probably to make skyprinter available,
either in core or in plus version.

Matthias, what do you think ? Is there already a comparison
between both plugins ?

Best regards,

Michaël

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

In my opinion SkyPrint is not really a printer plugin.  It is rather an 
enhanced PrintScreen utility that sends the map from your screen to printer.  
It has some very  good features which makes the print quality better than 
really using print screen or Save view as... option of OpenJUMP. These include 
some style adjustments and a possibility to double the raster image resolution. 
 The unique feature in SkyPrint is that it can write out layered PDF where each 
map layer from OpenJUMP is written as a separate PDF layer. The visibility of 
layers can be controlled with the layer tool of Acrobat Reader. I am not sure 
if any other viewer support this feature.

Why I would call it PrintScreen utility is that it is missing all features that 
printed maps tend to have: Title, legend, scale, North Arrow etc.

The SkyPrint UI shows the advanced features it has but here is the list of 
enhancement option it has for those who have not tried it:
- Remove transparency
- Print page border
- Remove fills from basic style
- Remove fills for color themes
- Adjust line width by percent
- Double raster image resolution

SkyPrint creates very good quality prints and layered PDF is very nice format 
for many purposes but SkyPrint as the only printing utility is rather limited. 
Better long termo option would be to enhance the Cadplan printer with PDF 
layers and quality enhancement options.

i'd suggest

File->Print->Printer (Cadplan)
 Printer (SkyPrint)

as to differentiate the two. trying to describe the difference would be to 
difficult in a short menu item's text.
this can easily be done with the new install mechanism. default-plugins.xml can 
override the install setting of any extension. the string would go into OJ 
language files then.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Larry Becker]

Jukka has it right.  I think of it as two parts: a printer (or PDF) driver,
and a screen print utility.  It should be possible for Cadplan to use the
SkyPrint driver, just as it uses the "ISA print driver" now, if Geoff is
willing.  I would recommend that the SkyPrint driver be put in core so that
developers can count on it being there.

The only (minor) difficulty I see is the printing of the map "furniture"
through iText.  As I recall, I had to put in special code to support North
arrows and scale bars in SkyJUMP.

I want to thank Mattias for his good work in porting the capability, since
I was too lazy.  8-)

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Stefan Steiniger]

Thanks for the analysis Jukka & Larry. So now my 2 cents:
I haven't used SkyPrint but a couple of times Geoffs plugin.
After reading Jukkas and Larry's comment I think we should put SkyPrint 
in Core, but maybe rename it "Screen Print" or "PDF Print". This way it 
may also be clear what is does focus on, in comparison to Cadplans print 
plugin that does a lot more and is for "plotting maps" (do people still 
do that? ;).

thanks to the programmers!

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE

[Giuseppe Aruta]

Hi Stefan,
there are still people who have to plot map, like me.
Recently I had to print again old  GIS projects (geological maps) and I
gave a chance to OpenJUMP/Cadplann printer with very nice results.
I used embedded OJ geological symbols for point symbols
For linear symbols I developed line symbol classes to use as decorations.
And for areal symbols I simple used my own patterns with Geof's
JumpFillPattern plugin (embedded into OJ PLus).
 I put a (sample map here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensit/files/Programmi%20e%20corsi/sample_maps/Auletta_geo.png/download.

It is a low quality derived image from a high PDF export.
Best regards
Peppe
