## Class Paper

- java.lang.Object
- - java.awt.print.Paper

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Cloneable`

      public class Paper
      extends Object
      implements Cloneable

  The `Paper` class describes the physical characteristics of a piece of paper.

  When creating a `Paper` object, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that the paper size and the imageable area are compatible. For example, if the paper size is changed from 11 x 17 to 8.5 x 11, the application might need to reduce the imageable area so that whatever is printed fits on the page.

    `setSize(double, double)`, `setImageableArea(double, double, double, double)`

    - #### getHeight

          public double getHeight()

      Returns the height of the page in 1/72nds of an inch.
      Returns:
        the height of the page described by this `Paper`.

    - #### setSize

          public void setSize​(double width,
                              double height)

      Sets the width and height of this `Paper` object, which represents the properties of the page onto which printing occurs. The dimensions are supplied in 1/72nds of an inch.
      Parameters:
        `width` - the value to which to set this `Paper` object's width
        `height` - the value to which to set this `Paper` object's height

    - #### getWidth

          public double getWidth()

      Returns the width of the page in 1/72nds of an inch.
      Returns:
        the width of the page described by this `Paper`.

    - #### setImageableArea

          public void setImageableArea​(double x,
                                       double y,
                                       double width,
                                       double height)
