Step by Step

Import the usual figue packages.

import figue.*;
import figue.box.*;
import figue.path.*;
import figue.resource.*

Import the event package.

import figue.event.*;

Keep a reference to a Postscript facade

private PSFacade _facade;

Initialize the postscript facade with an AWT PrintJob.

_facade = new PSFacade(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()
                       .getPrintJob(_dummyFrame,"",null));

Initialize the resources and build the boxes.

initResources(_facade);
buildBox(_facade);

Eventually add a print listener.

_facade.addPrintListener(new PrintListenerInterface() {
    public void printInitiate(PrintEvent anEvent) {
      getAppletContext().showStatus("Start printing");
   }
   public void printAdvance(PrintEvent anEvent) {
      getAppletContext().showStatus(
         "Printing page " + 
         anEvent.getPageNumber() + " " +  
         anEvent.getPercentDone() + "%");
      }
   public void printDone(PrintEvent anEvent) {
      getAppletContext().showStatus("Printing done");
   }
});

Print.
