 Introducing PTWin32 |
The
System Settings command on the PTWin32
Options menu provides a place for you
to place a graphic bitmap that is used in the header of printed reports. Usually
this is used for the seal or logo of the jurisdiction. These
graphic bitmaps can range across the full spectrum of sizes which depend on
various factors like resolution (dots per inch) and number of colors used. For
example, a black-and-white bitmap 2 inches square at 300 dots per inch will be
about 44 kilobytes in size. At 72 dots per inch the same file shrinks to 3
kilobytes. These
are good ranges for a PTWin32 report header graphic since it’s about as big a
space as the graphic is given on the printed reports. If
you insert a bitmap containing a graphic larger than about 2 inches square then
the extra graphic information in the file goes along for the ride to the
printer. This extra graphic information can significantly slow the execution of
your reports. Many
users are simply handed a graphics file from an external source to insert into
PTWin32. Often times the external source sends a file far in excess of what is
needed for the report header.
