Class MediaSize is a two-dimensional size valued printing attribute class that indicates the dimensions of the medium in a portrait orientation, with the X dimension running along the bottom edge and the Y dimension running along the left edge. Thus, the Y dimension must be greater than or equal to the X dimension. Class MediaSize declares many standard media size values, organized into nested classes for ISO, JIS, North American, engineering, and other media.
MediaSize is not yet used to specify media. Its current role is
as a mapping for named media (see MediaSizeName
).
Clients can use the mapping method
MediaSize.getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName)
to find the physical dimensions of the MediaSizeName instances
enumerated in this API. This is useful for clients which need this
information to format & paginate printing.

Returns whether this media size attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
object
is not null.
object
is an instance of class MediaSize.
object
's X dimension.
object
's Y dimension.
object | Object to compare to. |
---|
object
is equivalent to this media size
attribute, false otherwise.
The specified dimensions are used to locate a matching MediaSize instance from amongst all the standard MediaSize instances. If there is no exact match, the closest match is used.
The MediaSize is in turn used to locate the MediaSizeName object. This method may return null if the closest matching MediaSize has no corresponding Media instance.
This method is useful for clients which have only dimensions and want to find a Media which corresponds to the dimensions.
x | - X dimension |
---|---|
y | - Y dimension. |
units | Unit conversion factor, e.g. Size2DSyntax.INCH or
Size2DSyntax.MM |
IllegalArgumentException | if x <= 0, y <= 0, or units < 1 |
---|
Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.
For class MediaSize and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category is class MediaSize itself.
java.lang.Class
.
Get the MediaSize for the specified named media.
media | - the name of the media for which the size is sought |
---|
Get the media name, if any, for this size.
Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.
For class MediaSize and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category
name is "media-size"
.
