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. Note: This rendering hint may be removed in a future release without warning.
`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. Note: This rendering hint may be removed in a future release without warning.
`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. Note: This rendering hint may be removed in a future release without warning.
`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. Note: This rendering hint may be removed in a future release without warning.
`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)` Note: This rendering hint may be removed in a future release without warning.

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)
