Print xy graph in landscape

Hello,
I'm trying to print an xy graph to a printer in landscape mode with labview 6.0.2.
what i did is:
1) created vi containg the xy graph that in his VI property (printing Options) i checed the"Automatically Print Panel Evry Time VI Completes Exexution"
2) when i want to print the graph i send data to it, open his front panel and then close it.
3) changed in "printer and fax" the printer proparty to landscape
4) in the menu of the vi graph in "print page" i change also to landscape.
what i got is a cramped graph but not in landscape but in portrite.
please help me to print in landscape.
Thanks
Barak.

Attached is a zip archive containing some vis showing how I print things. You'll notice that the VI that does the printing has two inputs: the data to be displayed and a reference to the graph that is going to be printed. The reference allows you to modify plot parameters on the fly. For example, change the names of one of the plots in the legend and the name will also change on the printout.
This technique allows you to print a front panel without going to the trouble of having to open the subvis front panel, print it and then close it again.

Printing a Labview graph in LandScape mode ?

Hello everyone. I have LabView printing an XY graph but it always
wants to print in Portrait mode. I set the defaults of the printer to
LandScape mode and still go a Portrait printout. Is there anyway
to force LabView to print in LandScape mode? This will help the graph
be more readable.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Steve Drake

Hi, well after some playing around and touching things that I though
shouldn't make a difference I got it to print in Landscape mode. On
the VI's front panel menu File-Print I switched that to LandScape mode
and what do you know it printed the graph out in LandScape mode.
Now I want to manipulate the fonts on the graph. I have messed with
the cursors and I can put x axis lines
on the chart with a time value
but the text I'm putting up is small so I need a bigger font and I
need to get the text out of the graph itself.
Is there anyway to print the cursor titles vertical instead of
horizontal to the x axis. Thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks to anyone who already knew how to do this.

Steve Drake

Print a graph when used different resolutions

Hello,
my LV programm
(using V8.5.1) must run on computers with different resolutions (1024x768,
1280x1024...), so I used the option
"new scaling of all frontpanel elements after changing the windows size" (free translating )
(German: "Alle Elemente des Frontpanels bei Änderung der Fenstergröße neu skalieren")
in my VI.
This works fine but now I have some trouble with the printout of a graph.
Depending of the selected resolution of the computer, the graph will be printed complete or only partial, then the lower part of the graph is missing.
To print out the graph I used the VI "Append Control Image to Report.vi"
Can anybody help me?

Hello Jan,
you are right - when printing the report in landscape orientation, images will be cropped if higher than the paper size.This issue has already been reported to our LabVIEW R&D team (#36511) and should be solved in a forthcoming update of the report generation toolkit. In my opinion, the issue is linked to the problem that the image will not fill out the report page completely to the right margin (#36926), another nuisance you might also have encountered.
I have created a workaround for the problem, which you should find attached to this post. As you change the graphs background color for printing, I added another property to resize the graph to the maximum printable size (evaluated here in trial&error, depending on your printer, the maximum size might change a bit), and another one to restore the original size when the report is done. To reduce the "blink time" of the graph, I placed the restoring property node directly after the control image has been attached to the report, so that during printer initialization, the original layout is already visible again.
Hopefully, this is acceptable for you, until these issues have been fixed.
Best regards,
Sebastian

PDF Report prints Portrait Instead of Landscape

Hi,
We've created several PDF reports - some that print portrait and some landscape. For the portrait reports, they print fine both from Adobe Acrobat and directly from Oracle to the printer.
When we try to print a Landscape report, it prints as Landscape from Acrobat, but portrait from Oracle. We followed note 421358.1 on Metalink on how to set up a new .cfg file , print style, and print driver for printing landscape reports, but now it's not printing at all when we assign the style to the report. We tried removing -pairs and -shrink from the cfg file (Oracle analyst suggetsion) and it's still not printing.
Has anyone else had this much trouble trying to set up Landscape printing? We're using the acroread tool.
Thanks,
Suzanne

If you've bounced your concurrent manager, double checked your command string and it still doesn't print right, what O/S do you have and what version of acroread do you have? There's a known bug in Adobe 7 on HP-UX where landscape reports will generate in landscape correctly(i.e. copies=0) but when sent directly to a printer, they come out portrait. It happened to us on our system.
I tried -shrink and -landscape but it didn't work. Our user decided to just generate them and print them elsewhere.

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

Hi,

And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

How do i print from indesign (CS4) landscape without losing the edges.

i'm a PC to MAC newbe. Also moved from CS2 toCS4.
can't for the life of me figure out how to print from indesign in landscape layout without losing the left 2.5 inches of print. having the same trouble with #10 envelopes.
your help would be appreciated!

Usually this problem has to do with choosing the correct size and orientation of paper, both page size and print paper size.
IOW, if you want to print to a #10 envelope, start a new document that is exactly the size of a #10 envelope. Then when you print it, choose a paper size that is exactly the size of a #10 envelope.
What size page are you printing, and what paper size are you choosing when you print it?

How to print a graph in which internal table has more than 32 entries?

hiii experts
i am trying to make a line graph using 'gfw_pres_show' function module.
but in report internal table has more than 32 entries
so how can i print a graph having more than 32 entries?

Hi ricky_lv,
According to your description, there is main report and subreport in it, when the subreport spans across multiple pages, you want to show column headers on each page. If that is the case, we can set column headers visible while scrolling in main report.
For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
In design mode, click the small drop down arrow next to Column Groups and select Advanced Mode.
Go to your Row Groups pane, click on the first static member.
In properties grid, set FixData to True.
Set RepeatOnNextPage to True.
Here is a relevant thread you can reference:

Printing only first page landscape not portrait

Acrobat Standard for Windows v.8
When using Acrobat to print any PDF document, the first page is printed in landscape instead of portrait, the rest of the pages print as expected. This is reproduceable behavior on a single machine. Printing the PDF using other applications like InDesign or eCopy Desktop print as expected. Only Acrobat is exhibiting this behavior.
Acrobat has been reapired, uninstalled and reinstalled, printer drivers reinstalled with no success. The work around I have figured out (as a temporary solution so the user can print documents properly) is to select to print the PDF in landscape orientation in the print driver when printing from Acrobat, which prints the whole document in portrait orientation, essentially what was supposed to happen in the first place. This orientation change only seems to affect the first page and doesn't have any affect on duplex orientation.
Does anyone have a solution to this one? Or some direction? Thanks in advance.

Try one of these:
1/ In Adobe, deselect "Choose Paper based on PDF size" - you can leave the "Auto Rotate and Center" on.
2/ In Adobe, go into Advanced and choose "Print as Image".
3/ If this is a Canon H1 Fiery RIP, go into Printer Properties, Printing Preferences, Layout, Rotate 180degrees and choose "Large Paper Only."

Printing problems, black mark appears on document when printing using auto portrait/landscape

As the title says, pdf is fine on screen but when printing using auto portrait/landscape a black mark appears on the screen as in the photos below
when the orientation is selected the line disapears and the print works correctly
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Ben

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

How do I print a spreadsheet in landscape

How do you print a spreadsheet in landscape orientation?

Alternat method:
Click the page icon at the lower left of the document window:
That will turn on Print view, and open two new icons,one for Portrait orientation, the other for Landscape orientation, plus the Content scale slider:
Click the icon for the orientation you want. Use the Content Scale slider to adjust the page coverage of the content if necessary.

Numbers spreadsheet won't print in correctly in landscape from iCloud

I have a Numbers spreadsheet that needs to be printed in landscape to get all the columns to show. Doing this directly in Numbers works as expected and all columns show correctly. However, after it is shared onto iCloud and you attempt to print from there, selecting Landscape flips both the paper and text on the side basically giving the same result as Portrait. Can anyone else confirm this?
Thank you.

Printer model hp laser jet p3005dn always prints second page in landscape format.

Printer prints even page in landscape format only. Even if in program (say msword) the page is in portrait format.

Hi,
The instructions (from your link) say you have to connect USB, how do you connect it now ? HP does not supply driver but Windows 8 & 8.1 MAY have generic/basic driver for it. The link also says you have to use Windows update. Amazing to see a 15-20years old printer is still up and running, only the Operating system kills it.
Regards.

How can I chose a printer to print my graph?

hi,
how can I chose a printer to print my graph? At the moment I can print only with the standard printer, but I want to chose different printers, because I have three printers. How can I solve this in Labview? Is there a property in the property node or a VI?

If you have the Report Generation Toolkit you can use the Qurey Available Printers.vi to get a list of printers configured for your PC, write a vi to select from this list, and pass that printer to the Print Report.vi.
If you don't have the toolkit, you can use the property node (located under the Application Control palette), Printing:Available Printers property to obtain a list of printer names programmatically, then write a vi to select from the list, and pass that printer to the Printingefault Printer property to set the default printer in LabVIEW programmatically.

Print stretched graph image

I'm looking for a way to print a cwgraph stretched on a complete page ( larger then screen size)
Is there one?

To update the example code so that it behaves differently from only using half of the page like you're seeing, look at this section of the code in OnPrintBestFit:
if (bResizeGraph) {
// create a rectangle to resize the graph to (on the screen)
CRect rcNew;
rcNew.left = 0;
rcNew.top = 0;
rcNew.right = (long)(cInchesWide * logicalPixelsPerInchX_Screen);
rcNew.bottom = (long)(cInchesTall * logicalPixelsPerInchY_Screen);
// resize the graph so it will render larger (with more detail)
// the FALSE tells it to not redraw
m_Graph.MoveWindow(rcNew, FALSE);
// Calculate a rectangle (in printer coordinates) to print the
// graph in.
rc.left = 0;
rc.top = 0
rc.right = (long)(cInchesWide * logicalPixelsPerInchX_Printer);
rc.bottom = (long)(cInchesTall * logicalPixelsPerInchY_Printer);
Adjust the calculation for the rcNew.bottom and rc.bottom according to what you want.
