A Question of Image Sizing

rbuser

I want a bitmap image to fill as much of an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper
as possible. If the image width is greater than its height, I set the
printer orientation to poLandscape, else it is poPortrait.

Aspect ratio must be maintained. I've been able to easily get the
image to fill the width of the paper, but often this causes the detail
band to go to a second page. What I have not figured out how to do,
is limit the width of the image, such that the entire image is kept on
one page.

Setting Stretch and Maintain Aspect ration to true should do the trick. Then
if the image is wider than taller set the orientation to landscape, else to
portraint and size appropriately. Don't forget to take into account margins
which is why the detail band might be overflowing onto the next page.

I've discovered that I must manually size the tppimage in order to get it to fit
on the page. Near as I can tell, there is no way to stop a stretchable band
from stretching to larger than page depth.
