Exact measurement in mm vs pixels

2005-12-01 15:09

Is there any way I can achieve report sizes in mm without converting to pixels. I am trying to print barcodes on a label printer (off a roll) and pixels are not precise enough. Third party label software can handle this precision. The document size I am working with is 40x15mm labels with 2mm gaps between them.

 

Is jasperreport capable of achieving this?

I currently use iReport. I can specify in mm but it just converts it into pixels (which lacks the precision I require). Can jasperreports handle specifying sizes in mm? 1 pixel seems to convert to 0.353mm so I cannot seem to achieve a document size that will equal whole mm e.g. 15mm with 2mm gaps.

Hi,

 

This is something that the existing UI tools such

as iReport (http://ireport.sf.net) may help you with.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
