| Modifying the output / Change report output options | |
HTML output can be selected by passing the string "HTML" to the function fgl_report_selectDevice. You can use this function to output any existing report (including ASCII) as an HTML document.
Graphical elements such as bar codes are implemented by rendering them as images. These images are included in the document. An option to generate the images on disk and to use external URLs instead is provided by the function fgl_report_configureHTMLDevice.
When elements overlay each other (or text strings intersect), the default behavior is to create one image from the two elements and to include the image. An exception to this occurs when the overlaid element is an image: the "background" image will be removed from the resulting document.
There is an option in the function fgl_report_configureHTMLDevice to ignore the horizontal or vertical alignment in the document. The default is FALSE for HTML document output.
