Extensions for OpenJUMP

The following extensions are available:

1. JumpPrinter: a multi page printer for OpenJump
2. UpdateProject: an extension to update an OpenJump project file when component layers are relocated.
3. JumpChart: a charting extension for Open Jump
4. VertexSymbols: provides a wide range of vertex symbols support.
5. JumpFillPattern: provides a capability to add user-defined patterns

Note:  There are some shared classes between these plugins, so it is important that the latest version of each plugin is concurrently installed, when a plugin is installed.  If you update one plugin, then you should also update all others concurrently in use.

JumpPrinter - an extension that adds printing functionality
 

• Adds a "Printer" item to the File menu.
• A page preview screen showing the current view allows paper size to be set and drawing scale set/adjusted.
• Various items of drawing furniture can be added (title, scale, border, map legend, layer legend, note, north symbol)
• Prints to selected printer, using multiple pages as required
• Requires JRE 1.5 or later.
• Tested on OpenJUMP, and appears to work on JUMP and SkyJUMP (providing JRE is replaced with 1.5 or later)
• An example PDF file created using the extension can be seen from here.
• Print images can be saved as image files (jpg, png, svg and pdfs).
• Furniture items can be scaled to suit final page size.
• Multiple printer configurations (i.e. layouts involving various items of furniture) can be created and retrieved for each OpenJump project.

Downloads:

Latest Version is: 1.66 (30th Jan 2010) - Requires latest VertexSymbols plugin to be installed as well as iText libraries.

• The Jar file
• The User Guide (pdf)
• The source package (includes jar and User Guide)

Please note that the iText libraries used are still vers 2.0, the latest iText libraries are vers 5.0 and there are some changes required.  If support for iText vers 5 libraries is required please let me know and I can do the upgrade.

Saving of images as PDFs still does not support unicode characters in furniture item that contain text, but they  can be printed using PDF print drivers without problams.
