Lst page Landscape?

rbuser

Hi Guys,

The last page in my report, Summary section, has a TeeChart Graph in
it. I would like to make the page Landscape to maximise the size of
the graph.

Can I do that just for the last page?

If yes, how please? I can't find any specific property for it.

Regards & TIA,

Ian

Hi Ian,

The easiest/best way to do this would be to separate your report into
two Section style subreports.

1. Create a new empty report with a detail band only.

2. Place two Section style subreports inside the detail band.

3. Load your current report into the first Section subreport.

4. Recreate the summary of your current report inside the second Section
subreport and set its orientation to Landscape.

See demos 51 and 52 for examples of how this can be done.

HI Nico,

Again, thank you for your reply.

I did try adding a sub-report and puting the TeeChart in there but I
couldn't 'see' the TeeChart or its properties, i.e. Title, Series, etc,
from the Delphi IDE to manipulate them.

If the Chart is in the primary report I can do this (ReportChart being
the name of the Chart in the report)...
.....
ReportChart.Chart.Title.Clear;
ReportChart.Chart.SubTitle.Clear;
ReportChart.Chart.SubFoot.Clear;
ReportChart.Chart.Title.Text.Add('Attenuation & SINAD');
ReportChart.Chart.SubTitle.Text.Add(Project_Title.Text);
ReportChart.Chart.SubFoot.Text.Add('Printed on : ' +
DateToStr(Now) + ' at ' + TimeToStr(Now));
ReportChart.Chart.PrintResolution := -50;
ReportChart.Chart.PrintProportional := false;
ReportChart.Chart.PrintMargins := Rect(5, 5, 5, 5);

However if the Chart is in a Sub Report I can't find/see it to do this
type of thing.

I could of course be looking 'in the wrong direction'..

Hi Nico,

It occured to me that it would be handy to be able to go, in the
context of my report..

MainChart.Chart := MainForm.Chart;

and all the properties, data, characteristics of the chart in the
Mainform would be copied into the equivalent in the Report chart...

Just a thought.

Hi Ian,

Are you writing this code in RAP? If so, you need to tab (bottom tabs)
over to the subreport to access the components added to it.

Hi Nico,

No, it is in the Delphi 'form'.

I was looking in the 'wrong direction' and found it, however I ended
up using the 'insert picture' you suggested. Much better, only one
graph to maintain, and the end user can 'customise the graph somewhat
before runningthe report.

Happy Customer.

Thank you.

Regards,

Ian
