Text in both orientations

rbuser

?Hi,

I have a report that needs to have some text that appears oriented
portrait, and some oriented landscape.

The report is A5 pages but printed on one A4 sheet of paper / card, one
portrait and one landscape.

I don't see any properties on ppLabel that allow the text to be oriented
any other way than the orientation of the overall page.

I am using Report Builder 7.04 on Delphi 6.

Hope this makes sense
Many thanks in advance
Colin

Colin, please post using your real name. You have posted the same question 4

You can use two section style subreports - one with portrait orientation and
one with landscape. RB 12 for D6 includes support for rotating Labels,
DBTexts, etc via an Angle property.

Hi,

Could you point me to some examples of section style subreports.
Unfortunately I don't use either Delphi and hence Report Building much
these days so am not au fait with some of the details around subreports

many thanks

The Developers Guide, Demos, and rbWiki are excellent resources. The main
reports demo RBuilder\Demos\Reports has examples of section style
subreports.
