Rép. : printing vertically

[LEBLANC Philippe FTC <philipp.leblanc@FRANCETELECOM.COM>]

You should use postscript printing ! See joined .sqr file for details...

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO PRINT ACCENTUATED 
FRENCH CHARACTERS WITH POSTSCRIPT, PLEASE
LET ME KNOW HOW TO !!!
(see lines updated in postscri.str file for 
 SQR v6/v4 - Digital Unix - HP printer).

Cordialement, Philippe.

Call Description:
1) the customer would like to print an image (bmp/jpg)
   and with the B.R. 4.3.2.1 he got somes problems
   (doesn't print correctly)
2) Is it possible to do a text rotation

Question 1:
  Even with Brio.Report 6.0, you have to use the right type of image with
  the right type of SQR output. These are what SQR currently support.

  1. If generating SPF output only bitmap images can be used.
  2. With Postscript output only EPS image can be used
  3. With HP Laserjet output only HPGL image can be used.
  4. With HTML and PDF output only GIF and JPEG can be used.

  It doesn't matter where the report is run whether on Unix or Windows, the
  above applies. So for example, you may run a report on Unix with a bmp
  image and generate an SPF with the -KEEP flag. Then you can transfer the
  SPF to Windows and view it with the SQR Viewer and see the bitmap in it.

Question 2:
  There is no command in SQR which will allow you to do text rotation. We
  have some sample programs created showing you how to do it using the
  Postscript printer language within the SQR code. These samples will work
  only with Postscript output from SQR. I am attaching the sample codes in
  case you find them useful.
