Report margin [message #4402]

Any way to set margins in a report?
I see that by default a report is SetPageSize(3968, 6074); and setting it to sz(5100,6600) gives a page with no margin. So I can do makeshift margins by reducing the size by how much I want for a margin. But I don't see a way to specify, for example, a different top margin from bottom margin. There a(n easy) way?

No. "logical page" is simply centered to the "physical page" (as reported by host platform).

I guess what you suggest would be benefical. Any ideas for interface? Would be SetLeftMargin(int),SetTopMargin(int) enough, with Null as default resulting in current centering behaviour?

I guess those functions would be convenient, but it depends on how you would implement it. What I'm doing right now is:

Size sz(5100-1200*ScanDouble(SSsetting.Get("printLeftMargin","1")),6600-1200*ScanDouble(SSsetting.Get("printTopMargin","1")));
Report report(sz);

to convert from inches (SSsetting is a VectorMap<String,String>).
Normally it would be sufficient to SetMarginSides(int dots) and SetMarginTopBottom(int dots) but sometimes you would want to SetMarginTop different from SetMarginBottom. And if you can't do that, it could be more frustrating than its worth.
(btw, I would use MarginTop over TopMargin b/c functions would show up sequentially in Assist++ and css uses "margin-top").

Yes, it is enough.
