Today, heubach media released version 5.1 (Build 28188) of hmReports. hmReports is a plug-in developed by heubach media (http://www.hmplugins.com), Hamburg, Germany for 4th Dimension.
Version 5 is a huge leap for reporting and drawing capabilities in 4D with hmReports. „The main focus for this Version was, to make it rock solid, introducing all wishes from Customers, extend existing functions and make it much faster.“ said Christian Sakowski, CTO from heubach media. hmReports is fully certified with 4D v15 and 4D v16! === New in v5.1 === * New Undo commands: hmRep_SET UNDO TYPE STATE and hmRep_Get Undo Type State * New object properties for getting the section of objects in the preview * New object property to set a custom text for NULL field values === In Version 5.0 we made the following improvements === * 64 Bit Version for Mac (4D and 4D Server) * Complete rewritten drawing engine under Windows: Moving from GDI+ to DirectX (Direct2D and DirectWrite) * New commands from copy and paste entire pages: hmRep_GET PAGE and hmRep_SET PAGE * Rewritten intelligent undo/redo functionality: * New command hmRep_Get Last Event * Justified alignment is now supported for text objects * New object properties for setting the visibility of the drag handles * New command hmRep_Get Section Count * New section option for page footers: hmRep_svisible_NotOnLastPage * New options to set the origin of a layer and their objects * and much more (see release notes) With hmReports we introduced a new dimension of reporting in 4D. With Multi-Page-Design, Subreports, Barcodes and Editable Preview, hmReports offers you long wanted features, which you can directly use TODAY! === Multi-Page-Design === Now you can add static pages and/or additional iteration pages to a composed report. Also, you can design documents with more than one page! === Subreports === Since Version 3 you can inherit other hmReports documents or pages into new documents. For example: You can design one letterhead layout and place it in all your reports. If you want to change anything in the header, you only have to change the header document and not all of your reports! === Barcodes === Now you can display any data as a 1D and 2D Barcode without any special fonts. hmReports 4 supports over 60 different 1D and 2D Barcode types! === Editable Preview=== With hmReports 4, the user can view the final result of the report without printing. If data fields and other object don't look good in the preview, you can make changes directly in the preview. All changes are automatically saved back in the source report and the preview will be updated again, if wanted. === Other features of Version 5.0 === * Internal PDF rendering engine for creating PDF's on Windows (without additional software or printer driver) * Unlimited Undo/Redo support * 64 bit Plugin (Mac and Windows) * Supported languages of the GUI: English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese * Much better API for guides * Support of repeating objects * Variable headers and footers * Support of Styled Text * New API for creating a Virtual Structure for Tables, Fields and Variables * You can now change the name of each section * New grid * Arrange objects horizontally and vertically * Support of line endmarks of line objects * New Property Palette * New events for Drag & Drop and printing control * Direct Copy & Paste from the Finder/Explorer === Testimonial === Chuck Miller (Informed Solutions, Inc.) about hmReports: "Your dedication to making products that people can actually use is above and beyond. When confronted by a client with a need that makes sense, like exporting reports to blob as opposed to text, you take the bull by the horns and do it. I can not recommend you or your products any more highly than that." === About hmReports === You need amazing reports, invoices & documents?
