Folks:
My plot routines use fields as labels. Fields are created on the fly, the plot
image is captured, and the fields are deleted. In LC8 DP16, I find that the
field heights are messed up. I create the field and put text in it using the
following function:
I know that fields work differently in version 8, but I thought the
formattedHeight and formattedWidth should adjust the rect to make all of the
text visible. This works fine in version 7
function iml_makeField tName,tText
if there is no cd fld tName then
create field tName
end if
put tText into fld tName
set the visible of fld tName to FALSE
set the showBorder of fld tName to FALSE
set the style of fld tName to "transparent"
set the textAlign of fld tName to "center"
set the textfont of fld tName to "Arial"
set the textSize of fld tName to 12
set the borderWidth of fld tName to 0
set the margins of fld tName to 2,3,0,0
set the dontWrap of fld tName to true
set the textHeight of fld tName to 20
--wait for 0 seconds with messages
set the fontStyle of fld tName to bold
set the rect of fld tName to "0,0,"&(the formattedWidth of fld
tName)&","&(the formattedHeight of fld tName)
return the rect of fld tName
end iml_makeField
Any ideas?
Bill
