Center image(s) for printing

[delange]

Hello,

I searched the help files on this topic but could not find an answer. Is there a way to center the image while printing?

Use a custom layout.

Yes, already tried that before posting but it is not clear to me how it is possible to centre the image. The help files are not very helpful either. Care to explain in a bit more detail how that would work?

Just define one cell that fits the dimensions and position you need.
As you can define the coordinates in permille (yes, it says percent, but it is actually permille), it should be easy to create one centered cell.
Something like:

Code: Select all

[cell1]
type = image
image = 0
coordinates = percent
x = 50
y = 50
width = 900
height = 900
scalemode = reduce
bestfit = false

I wanted to try your suggestion but I don’t quite get it. Where do I need to create this “cell”? I had a look at the printing output definitions (screenshot below) but I don’t understand where I need to fill in the documented parameters.



What am I missing?

You need to create a layout file and then reference that in the queue when set to custom.

See Custom print layouts in the AS help.

Had a bit of time to experiment with this today. With your help and with the help files I was able to get to the result I wanted. One small remark though; the help files should contain a little bit more information to make things clear.
Nevertheless, it works now. Thanks for your assistance.
