Question & Answer
Question
How can diagrams from Rhapsody to Reporter Plus be exported effectively?
Cause
Answer
For each diagram type, there are two ways to print the image:
- The first technique is to use the “image” meta-attribute
This will result in one picture placed in the document.
- The second technique is to create an iteration over the “pictures” meta-association.
For each picture sub node in the association, display its “image” attribute.
This will result in several pictures placed in the document.
The General -> Graphics -> ExportedDiagramScale property dictates how diagrams are exported to ReporterPLUS:
FitToOnePage & NoPaginaton
Populates the image attribute. The pictures association is empty. The image will be scaled to fit the document as needed.
UsePrintLayout
If diagram fits on one page, populates the image attribute. The pictures association is empty.
If diagram spans multiple pages, populates the pictures association. The image attribute is empty.
The General -> Graphics -> RotateDiagramOnExport property can also rotate the given diagram left or right on export to ReporterPLUS.
Additionally, The diagram Print Settings also effect how a diagram is exported to ReporterPLUS.
Scaling set to “Adjust to x % normal size” is necessary to print on multiple pages and to populate the pictures association. Scaling set to “shrink to fit on a single page” will never populate the pictures association.
