Re: PDF widget print quality

2024-02-21 Thread Paul Dupuis via use-livecode
I'm not sure it is possible. Livecode's printing tends to be card based and at card resolution, typically 72 dpi. I recall seeing some efforts on the lists and forums to make an object 4 times bigger (75 dpi x 4 = 300 dpi) so that when it is printed to a 300dpi printer is is a higher

Can I just say that the Datagrid does have all these properties? What is the big advantage that would make Polygrids a better choice? Is it because they are Mobile friendly? Faster for large datasets? Easier to work with (apparently not unless by easier one means less properties that you can

You have the dataWidth of the polygrid for the formattedWidth of the widget (to be wide enough to display all data), but what I think you want is some equivalent of the fomattedWidth of each column. I don't believe any such property exists in the polygrid. It would be like setting the

sideloading updates to mobile

anyone screw around with sideloading updates to mobile? it should be pretty straightforward, but i haven't messed with it, yet. one of our apps runs on single-app-mode ios devices. so, we could pay for mdm to update it, or we could sideload the updates.

If you just need a person to view a particular spot in a PDF, using the PDF widget in Livecode would be easier than trying to manipulate an arbitrary PDF viewer. If there is a way to adjust the scroll, it is probably PDF viewer specific and you'd need to know whether the user is using Apple

I agree that the standalone builder pane for web deployment is strangely under-functional (it would be so easy to just add a few options for title, background colour of the page, custom logo link etc), and it could also so easily include a resize listener per default in the html file.
