Re: Line() Function

Just ban the devil.

 

Depends on the layout. Most invoices I know the total amounts are right beneath the last invoice line, so no spacing needed. The footer usualy contains references to the company or the client.

Otherwise you can also visibility expressions to hide or show data in the footer.

As usual, the devil is in the details. 

 

Consider a multiple page invoice where you need a "Continued" message at the bottom of all pages EXCEPT the last where you need a footer that contains totals. 

 

A Page Footer will take care of the "Continued" messages. The TS can use the Line() function space down to the bottom of the last page. What then prevents the Page Footer from printing before/after the "totals" footer?


Best regards,

Since graphic printing in Magic I hardly use the Line()-function anymore. Set your footer as a page footer and use the height from the footer to position your data.

In programs that have a fixed position footer, like an invoice, I have always coded line counting to contend with placing a "Continued" footer and the invoice footer. The line() function handles the placement of a footer on a single page from correctly. Is there a simple manner to handle overflow and placing fixed-footers in multiple page forms using line()?
