/**
 * 使用了原始的分页方式去渲染JTextArea，提供了打印预览机制。
 * <p>
 * 事实上，我们还可以通过其他方式打印JTextArea：
 * <ol>
 * <li>{@code Component.print(Graphics g);} or
 * {@code Component.printAll(Graphics g);}</li>
 * <li>{@code Component.paint(Graphics g);} or
 * {@code Component.paintAll(Graphics g);} whose rending may be slightly
 * different to the previous method (for example, <code>JFrame</code>)</li>
 * <li>{@code JTable.print();} or {@code JTextComponent.print();} provide
 * especially powerful and convenient printing mechanism</li>
 * </ol>
