    Timeline printPreview with fixed lane height

    Hi Isomorphic,

    Please find attached the printPreview problem.
    Is it possible to keep the fixed lane height of a timeline when using printPreview ?

    I tried a lot of solutions with laneHeight, with autochild "timeLineView", setFixedRecordHeight(true), setCellHeight, ... no luck.
    In print preview, lane text overflows and events are not aligned any more.


    Best regards,

    A fixed line height would omit information from the printed view, which is generally not the point of printing, since vertically resizing rows on a printed sheet of paper is challenging.

    It seems like you might be trying to do something that isn't really the intended use of the printing system - could you clarify the final use case, as understood by the end user (not the developer - the end user)?

      Hi Isomorpic,

      The need is to print a building maintenance plan.
      I understand the need of printing all information. But in that case events are not any more on their rows (which is the original problem I agree with you).
      Please find attach the result.

        So what is it you actually want - you want to show all the information (no clipping - which is how printing works in general) but you just want the misalignment fixed?

          Hi Isomorphic,

          Yes, i do. What you proposed is a good solution : do not clip the lane text when printing but correct the alignment of events to the right lane.

            You didn't mention your version or build-date, which we always need to know.

            For now, we've made a change to address in 13.1 and 14.x - you can try it out in today's builds, dated December 19, and later ones.
