Problem with components size

davidrgh

Hi everybody.

I need to design a report in FR that repeat an image x times.
I indicate it the size of the page and the number of columns & rows. It must to fill the page.

I have the next code in the startReport event:

- Set the size of the page (I've set constant values now, but in the application they will be user defined ones)

  alto:= 200;
  ancho:= 150;
  Page1.PaperHeight:= alto;                
  Page1.PaperWidth:= ancho;

- Set the number of columns and rows

  filas:= 10;
  columnas:= 8;

- Calculate the height and the width of the cell

  altoFila:= alto / filas;
  anchoColumna:= ancho / columnas;

- Set the size of the band and the number of columns

  MasterData1.ColumnWidth:= anchoColumna;                                                               
  MasterData1.Columns:= columnas;      
  MasterData1.Height:= altoFila;

- Set the size of the picture and its position

    Picture1.Width:= anchoColumna;
    Picture1.Height:= altoFila;
    Picture1.KeepAspectRatio:= false;

    Picture1.Left:= (anchoColumna / 2) - (Picture1.Width / 2);
    Picture1.Top:= (altoFila / 2) - (Picture1.Height / 2);

So, it prints the page correctly: a page of 150x200 mm
But the images (and the cells) would be of 18.75x20 mm (150/8=18.75 200/10=20)..... but it prints them with a 5x5.5 size.

Why? I can't understand it. What kind of scale is FR using internally?

Thank's for supporting.

Programmers manual Creating a report.

Objects??? coordinates and sizes are set in pixels. Since the ?«Left,?» ?«Top,?» ?«Width,?» and ?«Height?» properties of all objects have the ?«Extended?» type, you can point out non-integer values. The following constants are defined for converting pixels into centimeters and inches:

fr01cm = 3.77953;

fr1cm = 37.7953;

fr01in = 9.6;

fr1in = 96;

For example, a band???s height equal to 5 mm can be set as follows:

Band.Height := fr01cm * 5;

Band.Height := fr1cm * 0.5;

Tomorrow I'll try it.

Thank you so much.
