x |
The report spec. |
editor |
The expected text editor to use for printing text reports.
Assigning this parameter will set the |
cpuom |
Characters per unit of measure of printed text. If units is inches, the default is 12. If units is centimeters (cm), the default is 4.687. This value will be used to determine how many characters can fit on a line. |
lpuom |
Lines per unit of measure of the printed text. Default for inches is 6. The default for centimeters (cm) is 2.55. This value will be used to determine the number of lines that can fit on a page. |
min_margin |
The editor minimum margin. This parameter normally defaults to 0, but may be set for some types of editors. |
blank_margins |
When this option is TRUE, reporter will use blank
spaces and blank rows to create left and top margins, rather than rely
on the editor to set margins. When used, editor margins
should be set to zero. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. Default is
FALSE. This option is only valid for |
font_size |
The size of the font in points. Default is 10pt. This option is only valid for output types RTF and PDF. Valid values are 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. |
line_size |
The number of characters that will fit on a line. Normally,
the |
line_count |
The number of lines that will fit on page. Normally,
the |
uchar |
The character to use for underlines on the table
header and spanning headers. Default is a Unicode macron character #U00AF.
You may use a dash or underscore if your editor does not support
Unicode. The |
The options_fixed
function sets options for reports
with a fixed-width, monospace font. These reports are based off a
text report, but may be output as type "RTF" or "PDF".
The updated report spec.
The options_fixed
function sets
the characters per
unit of measure (cpuom
) and lines per unit of measure
(lpuom
) settings for the report. These settings determine how
many characters and lines will fit within one unit of measure (uom), as
specified on the create_report
function. These settings are
important to ensure the report content stays within the available page size
and margins. Because every editor allows a different number of
characters and lines on a page, these settings must be adjusted depending
on the editor.
The options_fixed
function provides a shortcut
editor
parameter
to directly specify a popular editor. If this parameter is specified, the
function will set the characters per unit of measure and lines per
unit of measure for you. If the editor is not available in the
editor
parameter selections, for best results, you should
set the cpuom
and
lpuom
parameters manually. To determine your cpuom
and lpuom
, see the help for write_registration_file
.
Alternatively, using the options_fixed
function,
you may set the line_size
and line_count
directly. Note that
the line_size
and line_count
may be different for different
output types and editors.
The min_margin
parameter is used to set the minimum margin allowed
by the editor. This value will be subtracted from the margin settings
when the blank_margins
option is used. It is useful for
editors that do not calculate margins from the edge of the page.
As some editors do not support Unicode characters, it may be necessary
to change the character used for the header and spanning header underlines.
The default character is a Unicode #U00AF macron. The macron is sometimes
referred to as an "overline", since it is located at the top of the
character area. If your editor does not support Unicode, the macron
will not be displayed properly. In this case, change the underline character
to a dash ("-") or an underscore ("_") using the uchar
parameter.
For RTF and PDF reports, most of the parameters on the options_fixed
function do not apply. For RTF and PDF reports, these parameters will
be set automatically, and cannot be changed.
Some of the options_fixed
function apply only to RTF and PDF.
In particular, the font_size
parameter applies only to RTF and PDF
reports. Valid font size options are 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. The font size may
also be set on the create_report
function.

of measure, write_registration_file

characters and lines per unit of measure manually.
