RE: [sqr-users] Image printing in SQR

Here are notes out of an old program we no longer use; maybe you will
find it useful.

    !  The first print stmt executed within this pgm must be with a
fixed font (3)
    !  and with point-size 12 --- this establishes the 'grid' used for
calculating 
    !  the graphic positions.

#include 'setupdb.sqc'


  DECLARE-PRINTER inv_printer

!   font       = 5             ! Times Roman  (a proportional font) 
    point-size = 12            ! 12 points    (yields 10 characters per
horizontal inch in Courier) 
  END-DECLARE


  DECLARE-LAYOUT inv-layout
    paper-size     = (8.5,11)     !  8.5" x 11"
    orientation    = portrait
    left-margin    = .375         !  3/8 inch    (column 1 offset from
left paper edge) 
    top-margin     = .375         !  3/8 inch    (row 1 offset from top
paper edge)
    bottom-margin  = .25          !  1/4 inch    
    line-width     = 7.875        !  7.875 inches (printable portion)
    line-height    = 9            !  9 points    (yields 8 lines per
vertical inch)
  END-DECLARE

!---------------------------------------------------------------------
!   
!    line-height = 9            !  9 points    (yields 8 lines per
vertical inch)
!   
!  Given top-margin=.5, with paper-size=(8.5,11), with
orientation=portrait,
!  specifying max-lines=79 will yield 64 printable lines on a page, and
any

positions
!  are specified.
!
!  Using max-lines instead of line-height when using a proportional font

!  'turns on' the SQR mechanism that auto-adjusts the print to fit
!  without overlapping. 
!
!  The only way I've found so far to get 8 lines per vertical inch is to
use line-height.

!  is not appropriate with a proportional font.  When I tried it, it
!  seemed to constantly advance 2 lines, based upon the layout's
line-height.
!---------------------------------------------------------------------
!  Also, you can't use 'graph' with a proportional font.

Subject: [sqr-users] Image printing in SQR


I am trying to change the image used in my reports.

Currently the image has these properties:
Height = 56
Width   = 118

The code looks like this:
PRINT-IMAGE                           (1,1,0)
   TYPE = BMP-FILE
   SOURCE = 'QVC.bmp'
   IMAGE-SIZE = (12,3)

This work fine.

The new image has the following properties:
Height = 68
Width   = 64

The image is stretched on the report.  Any suggestions on what the
IMAGE-SIZE parms should be?
The only information I can find on the IMAGE-SIZE is this:  "Specifies
the width and height of the image in SQR coordinates."
How are the "SQR coordinates" determined?



 

 

 Any questions, please call or email

 me

 

 

 

 Thank you.

 

 Regards,

 

 John
