Reporting extension graph sizing.

[haddock]

Hi,

I'm trying to make pdf reports with embedded plots, and I'm having trouble with the image width and height parameters. They seem to be at least inverse, the bigger the number, the smaller the plot! Here's some XML with three plots of data to show the point.

Code:

Has anyone experience of this extension, and in particular this problem?


PS The SVN Vega build properties are still pointing to 5.1, hence the odd version number.

Hi Haddock,

if you use the HTML output everything works fine. But there seems to be a problem with the PDF Report Stream positioning.
I will have a look into it.

Best,
Nils

Hi Haddock,

I have found the problem but unfortunately at the moment there is no time to fix it.
I have filed a bug report and we definitely will have have a look at the operator.

Best,
Nils

Hi Nils,

Thanks for that, as a workaround I'm using an HTML to PDF converter from http://www.winnovative-software.com which does a pretty good job, so there's no real hurry.

Thanks again.
