[RBASE-L] - RE: Printing Google Maps

[beyring]

Javier,

 

Yes, I am using version  9.1.5.20214.

 

I have still not been able to save to a file. I am using a Variable Web Browser control, that's good right ?

 

I get the map to display in the variable Web Browser but it will not save. Here are the variations in my code. You will see 4 different ones. I comment out 3 to try 1 at a time;

 

set v vfile text='C:\TEST.JPG'

property rbase_form Capture_from_window &VFILE
--property rbase_form 'Capture_from_window|17,41,661,701' &VFILE
--property rbase_form Capture_from_screen &VFILE
--property rbase_form 'Capture_from_screen|17,41,661,701' &VFILE

The location of my variable web browser field is:

Left 17

Top 41

Width 644

Height 661

 

I add Left and Width to get 661 Right

I add Top and Height ti get 701 Bottom

 

Is this right ?

 

Thanks for the help.

Bill,

 

You are on the latest 9.1 release, right?

I use JPG files rather than PNG  and works correctly for me. Try using the jpg format and see if it works for you.

Also, if you have spaces in your path/file name, you might need quotes around the variable. Try something simple, like test.jpg, on the local directory and go from there, and make sure you have write privileges on the target directory.

I'm having a problem actually saving the file using the

PROPERTY RBASE_FORM 'CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW|365,228,915,625' &vImage

command.

 

I replaced the size settings with my own but it will not save the file, here is my code;

 

 

--Start code

property vci_WebBrowser GOURL .vtest
set v vimage text=null
set v vimage=('Y:\GlenCoveNew\Maps\'+.vsektion+.vblock+.vlot+'.png')

property rbase_form 'Capture_from_window|377,41,1021,701'  &vImage

--End Code

vtest when launched produces the Google Map

the property vci_WebBrowser GOURL .vtest command loads the map into my variable Web Browser

 

The command:

property rbase_form 'Capture_from_window|377,41,1021,701'  &vImage

 

does not save the file. Am I mis-understanding the property command ?

 

Thanks for the help.

Bill,

 

Here is an elegant all R:Base solution.

 

To display the Google map in a R:Base form:

 

In your application form define a Web Browser where the Google map will be displayed.

 

Load the URL using the command:

PROPERTY vci_WebBrowser GOURL .vYourGoogleURL

 

Now you have the Google map displayed within your form.

 

To capture the Map:

Use the new Capture Property as follows

 

SET VAR vImage = 'GoogleMapJPG'

 

PROPERTY RBASE_FORM 'CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW|365,228,915,625' &vImage

 

Replace “365,228,915,625” (Left,Top,Right,Bottom') with the pixel coordinates of the Web Browser field on the form.

 

Now, you have the Google map captured in the file GoogleMap.jpg and you can use it in a report or just save it for future use.

You can automate the entire procedure by placing the proper commands in the After Start EEP.

 

And as R:azzak would say…that‘s all there is to it; or as we developers say…ain’t R:Base great?

I have an app that launches a file that goes out to the Internet and launches a Google map that has 6 push-pins locating different properties on the map.

 

I know I can click the Print button and print the map, but I would like to make the process cleaner by either printing this map automatically or saving it to a file for later printing.

 

Does anyone have a script that does something like this ?

 

Thanks,
