Calculate table cell height.

Post by Michal »

Hello,

I have upgraded TRichView to version 14 from 1.9.
A table generated using ver. 1.9 fills all page, but table generated using ver. 14.0 is sorter, does not fill all page, but contains this same contents. The table is only shorter. Due to this there are a margin on bottom of page.

I calculate cell height like this
Height:= Pixel_DPI+ //top frame of cell
TabCellPadding*Pixel_DPI+ //top padding
HeightOfFont+ //
TabCellPadding*Pixel_DPI+ //bottom padding
Pixel_DPI; //bottom frame

TabCellPadding := 2;
Pixel_DPI :=6.25 (calculated)

What does change ?

Regards
Michal

A calculation of widths of table columns was changes several times, so, in some non-trivial cases, table width may be different for the same table.
Table width may affect table height because of line wrapping inside cells.

Otherwise, the only change I can remember is implementation of different cellpaddings: a horizontal and a vertical cellpadding (CellHPadding and CellVPadding).
It may be important if you import a table from MS Word-generated RTF, because by default MS Word's tables have different vertical and horizontal cellpaddings.
But if you generate your table yourself using table.CellPadding property, it must not affect the result.

I need a sample project to reproduce the problem.

Hello,

Thanks for your replay.

When I change

Height:= Pixel_DPI+ //top frame of cell
TabCellPadding*Pixel_DPI+ //top padding
HeightOfFont+ //
TabCellPadding*Pixel_DPI+ //bottom padding
Pixel_DPI *0.70 ; //bottom frame

the table height is better calculated. Usually a table has one row more and the bottom margin is smaller.

In my tables there are no wrapped lines. After upgrade to current version of TRichView tables are shorter like before. It seams to cell height is a bit smaller then before.

I make mixed prints. There are text, tables some times pictures on them. What is proper way to calculate size of elements before insert them ?

For example I insert a few lines of text with different styles. Then I want to insert a table, but before this I have to know how many space are available on the page. Next during build the table I have to know how many space are available inside a table. After this I insert this table on page and create new empty page for next part of a print.

For now I calculate all myself.

There are in TRichView any functions to calculate it all ?

Please send me a (simple) sample project where table heights are different in different versions.

TRichView cannot calculate sizes before formatting.

Hello,

To reproduce this behaviour you can build a simple table:

Code: Select all


procedure TFPD.InicjujTabele(Styl:byte);  
var
 n,m:byte;
begin
  IncWiersz(0,0);                     //zapamietuje poprzedni tekst
  Inicjuj_WspT;
  NrWiersza:=NrWiersza+2*Pixel_DPI;   //obramowanie tabeli
  
  fillChar(Tab,sizeOf(Tab),0);
  for n:=0 to TAB_MAX_Wierszy-1 do begin
    for m:=0 to TAB_MAX_Kolumn-1 do begin
      Tab[n,m].RGora     :=false; //true;
      Tab[n,m].RDol      :=true;
      Tab[n,m].RLewa     :=false; //true;
      Tab[n,m].RPrawa    :=true;
      Tab[n,m].PolaczonaX:=m;      //sama ze soba, co znaczy ze nie jest polaczona
      Tab[n,m].PolaczonaY:=n;      //sama ze soba, co znaczy ze nie jest polaczona
      Tab[n,m].Kolor     :=clNone;
      Tab[n,m].Styl      :=Styl;
      Tab[n,m].Pad       :=D_PadL;
      Tab[n,m].NrObrazka :=0;
      if n=TAB_MAX_Wierszy-1 then Tab[n,m].RDol:=false;
      if m=TAB_MAX_Kolumn-1  then Tab[n,m].RPrawa:=false;

Hello,

You may insert a simple table of about 60 rows and 4 columns. In first cell of each row you can write number of the row using Arial 9 font.
Probably 60 rows will fill a A4 page.

Then you can create the page using RVE 1.9 and 14. On RVE 14 table should have more rows then on 1.9, because height of each row is a bit shorter.

I made this test, compared version 14.3 and 1.9.0.4

Code: Select all

var table : TRVTableItemInfo;
    r: Integer;
begin
  RVStyle1.TextStyles.Clear;
  with RVStyle1.TextStyles.Add do begin
    FontName := 'Arial';
    Size := 9;
  end;

  table := TRVTableItemInfo.CreateEx(60, 4, RichView1.RVData);

  table.Color                := clWhite; //clNone;      //clWhite;
  table.BorderLightColor     := clNone;  //=trnsparent   //clWhite;
  table.BorderColor     := clBlack;
  table.CellBorderColor      := clGray;
  table.CellBorderLightColor := clNone; //clWhite;

  table.BorderStyle     :=  rvtbColor; // rvtbRaisedColor;
  table.CellBorderStyle :=  rvtbColor; //rvtbLoweredColor;
  // TRVTableBorderStyle = (rvtbRaised, rvtbLowered, rvtbColor, rvtbRaisedColor, rvtbLoweredColor);

  table.VRuleWidth:=0;
  table.VRuleColor:=clYellow;
  table.VOutermostRule:=False;
  table.HRuleWidth:=0;
  table.HRuleColor:=clYellow;
  table.HOutermostRule:=False;

  table.BorderWidth    := 1;  //0 - oznacza ze bez ramki
  table.BorderVSpacing := 0;
  table.BorderHSpacing := 0;

  table.CellBorderWidth := 1; //0 - oznacza ze nie ma ramek komorek;
  table.CellPadding     := 2; //2 - oznacza szerokosc ramki wkolo tekstu wewnatrz komorki ;
  table.CellVSpacing    := 0;
  table.CellHSpacing    := 0;
  RichView1.AddItem('', table);

  for r := 0 to table.Rows.Count-1 do begin
    table.Cells[r, 0].Clear;
    table.Cells[r, 0].AddFmt('%d', [r], 0, 0);
  end;

  RichView1.AddNL(RVVersion, 0, 0);
  RichView1.Format;
  
  Caption := IntToStr(table.GetHeight(RVStyle1)); -- for 14.3
  Caption := IntToStr(table.Height); -- for 1.9.0.4
end;
As a result, the both versions show the same table height in Caption (1262).
I compared screenshots in a graphical editor. While column widths are different (because the old version made a filled column wider than empty columns), row heights are exactly the same.

Hello,

Thanks for replay.
