Is there somewhere an explanation of how a field’s textSize, borderWidth, margins, and formattedHeight interact?
According to the dictionary entry for “formattedHeight”, a field’s formattedHeight is calculated “including top and bottom margins”, while the formattedHeight of a chunk is calculated “disregarding margins.” That does not seem consistent with these results for a field whose textSize is 16 and whose margin is 4: the formattedHeight of line 1 of fld 1 19 the formattedHeight of line 1 to 2 of fld 1 38 the formattedHeight of fld 1 15 if there’s one line of text the formattedHeight of fld 1 34 if there are two lines of text. Even though there are top and bottom margins of 4, the field’s formattedHeight is smaller, rather than larger, than the formattedHeight of its contents. A perhaps related question: Why does a field margin of zero clip the visible text at the top and left? Many thanks.
