Images in a pdf report
Does anyone know whether or not you can put a bold border around a circle image that appears in a pdf report? The circle image is green. Can this be done in the stylesheet section of a fex or would some type of code have to be put in a html program?

Michelle,

Two questions:

1) Where in the report are you placing the image? HEADING, SUBFOOT, etc.?

2) What version of WebFOCUS do you have? Please add this information to your signature. See the following about signatures. See my signature below as an example.

As Mickey suggests, it may depend on where you're putting the image. You can put borders around HEADINGS, etc.You may also try the LINE feature to manually draw lines where you want them OR you can add a separate image (a box) and place it so as to border the first image.

I am using the image in a SUBHEAD. I am using WF 7.1.7 in all three environments. I will add the Webfocus version to my signature. Thanks.

Why not put the border in the image itself?

Michele,

You can put a border around the SUBHEAD but not specifically around the image itself.

One solution would be to do as Francis suggested. That is, alter the image to include a border.

The only of other solution I can suggest is to take a look at Jodye Yates article under Tips & Techniques on Focal Point entitled 'How to Draw a Box Around a Column of Data in a PDF Report'. You may find something useful in this article that you can adopt to do what you are trying to do.


Thanks!

You can also use the compound pdf report builder to put the image in the report, gives you more flexibility, but the bold border must be there already.
