Align Image Option of Clip Only?

2003-04-14 09:18

Hi-

 

I imagine there is a technical reason for this, but why is it that the new Align Image option can only be used when the scale option is set to "Clip"?

 

When the image is clipped, I *know* (ok, almost know) the image size and so need the alignment feature less. Its when I don't know the image size that I really need this feature to allow things to line up...

 

Thanks for the new version, I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Hi,

 

The image alignment is also working for the

"RetainShape" scale type (or at least it should).

Check the "images" sample.

 

It does not make sens for the "FillFrame" scale type.

 

The image is aligned inside the area specified

by the x, y, width and height attributes of the

corresponding report element.

 

What exactly does not work or what did you

expect from this image alignment functionality?

 

Thank you,

Teodor

My apologies - I had not had a chance to try the image align feature. I was posting in response to the release notes:

 

=============

- "hAlign" and "vAlign" attributes added to the "image" element

to allow image alignment when scaleImage="Clip";

=============

 

Very cool - I can't wait to use this for retainShape.

 

Thanks again,
