[Gambas-user] Printing

[Fabien Bodard]

Well gb.report is based on a similar arrangement routine than the forms.

To center a picture on the page you have 2 way.

- playing with the containers to center it
- set the ignore property of the image to true and setup the left and
top properties (or X and Y)

To setup a text just add a reportlabel and give to it a text.

you can setup the page padding by setting the report padding.

Gambas report have all the job to resolve font size... you need to
play around it to understand who do what.

It seem complex only because it use a not traditional way to describe
a page. A report is a set of sections that can contains containers.
Each section is like a report, but share things like page size and
orientation.

My two actual dark point are the picture resolution on rendering,
because of the resolution... but i will find how to do that son.
Multilevel recurssivity... my old problem on automation. But it is not
a problem for filled reports.

you can see some of my reports here :
