Syntax

   values om.SaxAttributes )

values - Attribute set containing the key/value pairs.

Rendering hints

Table 1. Rendering hints
Rendering hint	Purpose
`grvRenderToBitmap`, `svgTextLengthAdjust`, and `grvUseEmbeddedFontMetrics`	Optimize for GRV printing. See Optimize the rendering process.
`psOptimize` and `psOptimizeUseDictionary`	Optimize for Postscript printing. See Optimize the rendering process.
`pxmlCacheImages`	Disable image caching. See Optimize the rendering process.
`pxmlChartStyle`	Specify style and color options for business graphs. Set to `classic` for backward compatibility with older versions of Genero Studio. See Specifying classic or default style.
`processXMPOrientation`	Determine the orientation of an Image Box. Set to `FALSE` for backward compatibility with older versions of Genero Studio. See Configuring XMP metadata processing for images.
`processXMPResolution`	Determine the resolution of an Image Box. See Configuring XMP metadata processing for images.
`fglAutoformatTemplateURL`, `fglAutoformatLogoURL`, `fglAutoformatOrganizationName`, `fglAutoformatSelectionText`, `fglAutoformatKeyText`, `fglAutoformatPrintingInformationText`, and `fglAutoformatNumberOfFormColunms`	Set values for custom generic reports. See Create a custom generic report for simple list or form list.
`pxmlSplitDocument`	Splits a large PDF, RTF, or Excel™ report into smaller files. See Split a report into smaller files.
`pdfPreventPageRotation`	Backward compatibility: when set to `TRUE`, report pages do not rotate in PDF output, mimicking the behavior prior to Genero Studio 4.00. See Rotating PDF report pages.
`pxmlColorizePadding`	Backward compatibility: when set to `FALSE`, the padding of an object uses the background color of the parent object, mimicking the behavior for padding an object prior to Genero Studio 3.20. See GST 3.20 upgrade guide.
`xlsUse310SizingMechanism` and `xlsAlignmentIgnoringMethod`	Configure the sizing and alignment of rows and columns in Excel reports to mimic the behavior prior to Genero Report Writer 3.20. Excel rendering in Genero Report Writer 3.20 produces a larger number of rows and columns than previous versions. This provides a better WYSIWYG rendering of the document, but can corrupt the vertical alignment when pages are merged into a single sheet. Therefore, you may want to revert to Genero Report Writer 3.10 behavior. `xlsUse310SizingMechanism` is `FALSE` by default. When set to `TRUE`, the column width and row height for Excel reports are computed as in Genero Report Writer 3.10 and earlier. `xlsAlignmentIgnoringMethod` is `1` by default. When set to `0`, rows and columns are aligned as in Genero Report Writer 3.10 and earlier. To render your Excel reports as closely as possible to Genero Report Writer 3.10: `DEFINE renderingHints om.SaxAttributes LET renderingHints=om.SaxAttributes.create() CALL renderingHints.addAttribute("xlsUse310SizingMechanism",TRUE) CALL renderingHints.addAttribute("xlsAlignmentIgnoringMethod",0) CALL fgl_report_setRenderingHints(renderingHints)`

Example

This sample code sets the svgTextLengthAdjust and grvUseEmbeddedFontMetrics hints:

DEFINE renderingHints om.SaxAttributes
LET renderingHints=om.SaxAttributes.create()
CALL renderingHints.addAttribute("svgTextLengthAdjust","SpacingAndGlyphs")
CALL renderingHints.addAttribute("grvUseEmbeddedFontMetrics","true")

CALL fgl_report_setRenderingHints(renderingHints)

For an example of Genero code using a reporting function, see Using report output functions. This example may not use the specific function discussed in this topic, however it provides details on where you would place this (and other) report output functions.
