Setting document grid columns to fixed height
posted

I'm trying to do something that I thought would be simple.  I have several graphic objects that I'm trying to put into a  Site. The number of items is not determined at design time and are (more or less) identical ( identical with the exception of some text).  The objects are circles that need to remain (as you might expect) as circles.

My problem is that regardless of the settings I use the circles are stretched vertically so that the total height of the items fills the page... so my circles become ellipses.

My first attempt was to create a "flow" and to just insert the site objects to fixed height and width and then add the items as in  the following

foreach( String person in myListOfPeople)
{
    Report.ISite site = cell.AddSite();
    site.Height = new Report.FixedHeight(cellHeight);
    site.Width = new Report.FixedWidth(cellWidth);

                       Infragistics.Documents.Report.Shapes.IEllipse outerCircle = site.Shapes.AddEllipse();
                    outerCircle.Height = 275;
                    outerCircle.Width = 275;
                    outerCircle.Pen = blackWidePen;
                    outerCircle.X = (cellWidth - 275) / 2;
                    outerCircle.Y = (cellHeight - 275) / 2;

                    Report.IImage logoImage = site.AddImage(logo, outerCircle.X + 35, outerCircle.Y + 25);
                    logoImage.KeepRatio = true;
                    logoImage.Height = new Report.FixedHeight(94);
                    //logoImage.Width = new Report.FixedWidth(113);

                    Infragistics.Documents.Report.Shapes.IEllipse innerCircle = site.Shapes.AddEllipse();
                    innerCircle.Height = 75;
                    innerCircle.Width = 75;
                    innerCircle.Pen = blackWidePen;
                    innerCircle.X = (cellWidth - 75) / 2;
                    innerCircle.Y = (cellHeight - 75) / 2;

                    Infragistics.Documents.Report.Shapes.ILine cutLine = site.Shapes.AddLine();
                    cutLine.Pen = blackDashPen;
                    cutLine.X1 = cellCenterX + (innerCircle.Width/2);
                    cutLine.Y1 = cellCenterY;
                    cutLine.X2 = cellCenterX + (outerCircle.Width / 2);
                    cutLine.Y2 = cellCenterY;

                    Infragistics.Documents.Report.Shapes.ILabel nameLabel = site.Shapes.AddLabel();
                    nameLabel.Text = person;                   
                    nameLabel.Font = nameFont;
                    nameLabel.Brush = darkBlueBrush;
                    Size proposedSize = new Size(int.MaxValue, int.MaxValue);                   
                    Size nameSize = System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText(taster, namedrawingFont, proposedSize, textFlags);
                    Single fontHeight = Infragistics.Documents.Utils.Converter.PixelsToPoints(nameSize.Height);                   
                    Single fontWidth = Infragistics.Documents.Utils.Converter.PixelsToPoints(nameSize.Width);                   
                    nameLabel.Y = cellCenterY + (innerCircle.Width/2)+ fontHeight;
                    nameLabel.X = cellCenterX -(fontWidth / 2);

 }

This seems to work properly in print preview but when I actually do the "report.Print" the items are stretched vertically to fill the page.

I then tried to put the items into a grid setting the grid row height and cell width to be fixed .. same issue, looked ok on print preview but now when actually printed.

I assume that I'm just missing something obvious here but I have not found the key yet.

    Hi Neil,

        If this is working okay in the Print Preview, but changes when you actually print, then it would seem something is happening on the Printer to change the aspect ratio. Is it just the shape of the circles that is changing? Or is the text being stretched as well?
