leaf.table.Measure – copes with nested column headers (widest sets the header width) when measuring tables.

leaf.PS256 – survives 24-bit colour bitmaps which have no colour map! These are not printable via PostScript Direct until Dyalog supports 24-bit .BMP objects (coming in the next release).

leaf.Group – ends any open tables which can be left hanging otherwise.

leaf.table.titlegrid[31] New line to merge (always) vertically matching cells which are totally blank. Beware unexpected side-effects – testbed is hard to make reliably here. See Timo5 for forced merge in action.

leaf.cal‘td – incorrect display of date format yyyyMMdd (no separator) – fixed

ACDS 10th August 1998

leaf.init_frame – errors back if asked to initialise a frame with -ve size.

PostScrp.Clip – ensures that only the first page is clipped if you give it a multipage report to be copied. Also takes note of two new settings to show the paper outline and to set the scale of the metafile. Not yet alterable by users.

ACDS 19th Aug 1998

WMF – added as a master-page object (optional stretch to fit). Also two new functions leaf.Metafile and leaf.MetafileLeft allow .WMF files to be included anywhere in a report. Normally these would have a placeable header, but the size can be over-ridden if required.

leaf.Place – steps down to below any wraparound (cf HTML <clear> tag) which allows subheads to drop back to the left margin correctly after a wrapped picture or chart. Use leaf.Flow to get wrapping continued.

html, csv – mirroring brought up to speed with the new spooling options. Also handles softhyphens correctly, and drop caps (sort of) in html. Try Mirror to check the basics with text, pictures and tables.
