Changes up to 1.8 – 21st December 2002

PostScrp.RunOff – was not initialising SHADOW, which could cause an error printing a spooled report with shaded frames. Fixed.

leaf.‘papers – two more ‘papers’ added for SVGA and XGA output on screen. Useful for PDF and SVG generation where we want a full-screen view.

leaf.table.Spread – decimal alignment was incorrectly reset when a table ran over more than 1 page. Fixed.

leaf.table.Spread – fitting a fairly narrow report to 1:1 (all on one page) failed to scale the vertical dimension correctly. This used to work, and was unfixed by some recent code to tidy up shading on merged cells! Back to a working state again.

html.Richtext – adds basic RTF parsing capability to HTML output. Note that tabs do not work correctly here!

leaf.table.Rounding – sets the corner-rounding for the outer frame of the table. The argument gives the corner-radius in points for both x and y.

 leaf.table.Rounding 4

The table will have round corners with a 4pt radius.

HTML support<a href="fluff">link</a> pairs are now tolerated in any text. The link is underlined, but is not actioned in any output format except HTML and SVG at present. It is likely that these will be supported in PDF reports in the future, as well as in our own viewer. Note that you must “quote” the link target here to have this recognised as a valid tag.

leaf.Rule – was ignoring ‘wraparound’ so a rule in the middle of a wrapped section started at the left margin. Fixed.

leaf.Include – when alignment is ‘centered’ or ‘right’ it skips the scaling of the included graphic, and just places it at the natural size.

Help in designer – some objects failed to find their help topics when you hit the ‘Help’ button on the cuecard in the Designer. Fixed.

PostScrp – printed output could be displaced slightly on the paper if you started the viewer with the default printer (or the printer specified in the page properties) and then switched printer to print it. Fixed.

PostScrp.bitmap – on hi-resolution devices bitmaps were being misplaced vertically. Fixed.
