[udig-devel] Remaining Printing Work

[rgould@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have compiled a list of what needs to be improved in the printing user-interface:

* Currently the PageEditor does not permit saving, because there is no
persistence system hooked up. 
* Once a Page is opened, there is a Palette on the right hand side. This is
mostly useless, but in the future should contain items for each subclass of Box
available. Dragging one onto the Page would create a Box of that type. 
* There needs to be the ability to add Boxes to a Page or delete them from a Page.
* Pages should be able to be resized (landscape, portrait, A4, etc.).
* MapBox should display an image instead of the map name
* The duplication of the map might be hard for user's to understand. (Selecting
Edit Map on the MapBox opens a different map from the original one that the Page
was created with. Need ideas here.
* LabelBox's text should be centered within the box.
* The font (style, colour, size) of the text in a LabelBox should be changeable.
* It should be possible to scroll to the bottom of the Page. Currently it is
not, unless there is a Box down there already.
* The Palette contains a Marquee tool, but I have no idea what it does.
It should be removed.

I have copied this list into the Readme.html file in the printing.ui plugin's
root directory.
