I want to print stickers on a labelprinter using qtf and make sticker templates using RichEdit, however RichEdit seems to assume A4 format and that doesn't work right.
How can I set the pagesize of RichEdit in mm or points?

hi Alboni:

I was able to find these to functions in <RichText/RichText.h> that might give you some hints to your problem.

Array<Drawing> RenderPages(const RichText& txt, Size pagesize = Size(3968, 6074));

String Pdf(const RichText& txt, Size pagesize = Size(3968, 6074), int margin = 200,
           bool pdfa = false, const PdfSignatureInfo *sign = NULL);


}

I believe I vaguely remember that Upp uses a virtual divice with 600 dpi.

RichEdit::SetPage

(in "dots" - there are 600 dots per inch).

Thanks, Mirek and Lance,

I could not get it to work and my client got very impatient so I ended up using raw printer commands.
I'll look at it again when an opportunity presents itself.
