Hi,
I have an Avery L7654 A4 label sheet which I try to define.
It has a 2.5mm column padding but if I define that for the labels
column 2 - 4 move over to the right to much, currently I have it
defined as 0.5 mm and it is about correct.
Looking into the code I see in reportWriter this:
around line 2289 in the write method
# Get the number of columns:
columnCount = self._columnCount = _form.getProp("columnCount")
columnPadding = self._columnPadding =
self.getPt(_form.getProp("columnPadding")) * (columnCount - 1)
columnWidth = self._columnWidth = \
((self._pageWidth - self._ml - self._mr) /
self._columnCount) - (.5 * self._columnPadding)
and around line 2525 in the printBand method:
x = ml + (self._currentColumn * (self._columnWidth +
self._columnPadding))
I think the first block should be (untested):
# Get the number of columns:
columnCount = self._columnCount = _form.getProp("columnCount")
columnPadding = self._columnPadding =
self.getPt(_form.getProp("columnPadding"))
columnWidth = self._columnWidth = \
((self._pageWidth - self._ml - self._mr) /
self._columnCount) - (self._columnPadding * (columnCount - 1))
What do others think?
Is anyone using columnPadding with their labels?

I believe I understand what you are doing but I don't under why the old
code is wrong. It would seem that 1/2 of the self._columnPadding would
be correct because later it is used as the location to start printing.
At least that is what I recall from the code. I would suspect that your
issue comes from code like this
x = ml + (self._currentColumn * (self._columnWidth + self._columnPadding)) .
I could be totally wrong but when Larry Long was working with the
problem several years ago the issue of padding was discussed. But was
not completely fixed at the time.
