FooterY does not really make sense?

Post by mboth »

In TScaleRichView 2.41, setting FooterY and BottomMargin of PageProperty do virtually the same. Both the footer and the text are positioned at max(footery, bottommargin) from the page bottom, right?

I'd expected that the footer is printed within the margin if footery is smaller than bottommargin?

Or am I doing something strange so that I'm alone with this issue...

FooterY is a distance from the bottom of the page to the bottom of the footer.
BottomMargin is a distance from the bottom of the page to the bottom of the main text area.

Possible cases:
1) Footer is empty.
FooterY is ignored.

2) FooterY + footer height <= BottomMargin. Footer is not empty.
Footer is placed on the bottom margin area. Main text area is unaffected.

3) FooterY + footer height > BottomMargin. Footer is not empty.
Footer is placed (completely or partially) in the main text area. BottomMargin is ignored, the main text area ends and the position FooterY + footer height instead of BottomMargin.

MS Word works in the same way.

PS: Footer was a beta feature in ScaleRichView 2.x, so errors are possible. This feature was officially released in ScaleRichView 3.0.
