Parameter for panel and landscape format

Markus Schmidt on September 20, 2011

Hi there!

I want to program a report and output the model graphic in there. I am searching for a parameter of the graphic which determines whether the model is set in panel or landscape format by the aris author in the page layout settings. I could only find parameters for CutObjects (boolean), BlackWhite (boolean) and localeId (int) for the Graphic object and the getPrintScale() methode of the model. Is there a get-Method to get the format too?

Once I know the setting by parameter I can set the pageHeigt and pageWidth, so that the section is output in either panel or landscape format.

Thanks in advance

Markus

Hello,

I think that you must only start a new page, set page heigth an page width -swapping heigth and width-, output the graphic, start a new page, and set again heigth an width for next page.

Test it.

Hi,

yes this would be the result. But I don't know what format the model is at the execution of the report. The report should somehow get it itself, if it is in panel or landscape format. So I need some methode like Graphic.getFormat() to decide which value I must set for pageHeight and pageWidth.

Hi Markus,

You need to get the model's flag for landscape settings...


function getModelFlag(model, flagNumber) {
    var flagArr = new Array(65536,32768, 16384, 8192, 4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1);
    var flagsVal = model.Flags();
    var tempVal = flagsVal;
    if(numberInArray(flagNumber, flagArr) && (flagsVal > flagNumber)) {
        for(var fc = 0; fc < flagArr.length; fc++) {
            var newVal = tempVal - flagArr[fc];
            if(newVal >= 0) {
                tempVal = newVal;
                if(flagArr[fc] == flagNumber) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

landscape = getModelFlag(model, Constants.MODEL_PRINT_LANDSCAPE)

For some reason ARIS Scripting allows you to set a flag, but not get it, so I had to write the function for it. It might not be pretty but it works. It will also work for other model flags. You can do a search for the MODEL_PRINT_LANDSCAPE to find the other flags.

Kind regards,

Hi Francois!

Thanx a lot for sharing and giving me a solution. I will test it, when I implemented the rest of the report but this is exactly what I was searching for!

Best regards and have a nice Day,

Markus

Hi Francois!

I am now on it to test your solution. Could you please tell me also your

numberInArray(flagNumber, flagArr)

function. Unfortunatly it's not in the code above and I don't know what you do with it.

I think it is the last block for me to finally get the landscape setting out of ARIS.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

Sorry about that, here is the other function:

function numberInArray(num, Arr) {
    for(var nc = 0; nc < Arr.length; nc++) {
        if(num == Arr[nc]) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Thanks,

Francois

Hi Francois!

Well I finished to implement your code in a simple report but I still struggle to get the correct result. It seems that the landscape variable is always set to false.

I spent a while looking with the debugger and found that flagsVal = model.Flags(); never really gets a value so the function can calculate furhter correctly. If I use the methode model.Flags() the program does not like the () at the end. Without the () it never gets a value. Maybe you can figure out my problem. Here's the code from the whole report:

var oOutput = Context.createOutputObject()
var xlTableActive=false
oOutput.DefineF(getString("ID_STYLE_RD_HEADING_1"), getString("ID_DEFAULT_FONT"), 18, RGB(0,0,0), Constants.C_TRANSPARENT,  Constants.FMT_BOLD | Constants.FMT_LEFT| Constants.FMT_VTOP| Constants.FMT_TOCENTRY0 , 0, 0, 4, 4, 0, 1)
oOutput.DefineF(getString("ID_STYLE_RD_TABLE_HEAD"), getString("ID_DEFAULT_FONT"), 8, RGB(0,0,0), Constants.C_TRANSPARENT,  Constants.FMT_BOLD | Constants.FMT_CENTER| Constants.FMT_VTOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
oOutput.DefineF(getString("ID_STYLE_RD_HEADING_4"), getString("ID_DEFAULT_FONT"), 12, RGB(0,0,0), Constants.C_TRANSPARENT,  Constants.FMT_ITALIC | Constants.FMT_BOLD | Constants.FMT_LEFT| Constants.FMT_VTOP| Constants.FMT_TOCENTRY3 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
oOutput.DefineF(getString("ID_STYLE_RD_DEFAULT"), getString("ID_DEFAULT_FONT"), 11, RGB(0,0,0), Constants.C_TRANSPARENT,  Constants.FMT_LEFT| Constants.FMT_VTOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
