Aligning images to the right side of page

edited June 2007 in End User

Is there any way to align dbimages to the right margin of the page?

I have a single page report. A subreport is placed to the right of the
main details band. This sub-report displays images in a single column.
The dbimages may have different dimensions.

My objective is to have these images display flushed right with the
page margin (as they would in a right-aligned table cell or if the
image component had a right-justify property).

At present I have only achieved a ragged edge - not the straight edge I
need.


Notes:
I have set the sub-report columns to 2 and used the same width for the
image component, the subreport component and the sub-report column.
This prevents the images from displaying outside the right page margin.

Image component: Autodisplay, Stretch, Maintain Aspect Ratio and
Visible are selected.

    What I think is needed is an a align property for the ReportBuilder
    image component.

    Currently, there is only a center boolean property. Selecting it makes
    the image align in the center. Unselecting it makes the image align to
    the left.

    It would be good idea if the center property was replaced with an
    "align" property which would offer left, center and right options.

    Could a align property for images and DBImages please be added to a
    future ReportBuilder version?

    Hi Deirdre,

    There is currently no built-in feature available in ReportBuilder that will
    automatically allign a dynamically sized image to a certain place in a
    report. This however would be a nice feature and we will consider it for a
    future release. Currently you will need to find the size of the image and
    position it manually before it is printed so it aligns where you need it to
    inside the report.

    Thank you Nico.

    The issue that concerns me is not aligning the image to another
    component nor to a place in the report. Rather, what I am hoping you
    will consider is how the image is rendered within the image component.

    As Jan Derk says, at present, the "Center" option centers the image
    within the image component. By default, the image is aligned to the
    left. It would be great to also be able to align the image to the right
    inside the image component.

    Hi Deirdre,

    Thanks for the clarification. I will add this to our list of possible
    enhancements for a future release.
