        public void setupPage​(double width,
                              double height,
                              java.lang.String fontFamilyList)
                       throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from interface: Canvas
        Sets up the page

        The page (and graphics context) is not valid until this method has been called.

        The font family can be specified as a comma separated list, e.g. "Helvetica,Arial,sans". The first family will be used to calculate text widths. For formats that support it (e.g. SVG), the entire list will be used in the generated graphics file. Other format will just use the first one.

        Parameters:
        width - width of page (in mm)
        height - height of page (in mm)
        fontFamilyList - font family to use
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - thrown if graphics cannot be generated
      • setTransformation

                                      double scaleX,
                                      double scaleY)
                               throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from interface: Canvas
        Sets a translation, rotation and scaling for the subsequent operations

        Before a new translation is applied, the coordinate system is reset to it's original state after page setup (see setupPage).

        The transformations are applied in the order translation, rotation, scaling.

        Parameters:
        translateX - translation in x direction (in mm)
        translateY - translation in y direction (in mm)
        rotate - rotation angle, in radians
        scaleX - scale factor in x direction (1.0 = no scaling)
        scaleY - scale factor in y direction (1.0 = no scaling)
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - thrown if the graphics cannot be generated
