PDF Files

[Gerry Baerken]

Does anyone know of a freeware PDF file creator that works well with Flagship.  I especially require to be able to assign a gradient from Red through Yellow to Green to a particular value field.  This may be achievable in direct printing in Flagship.  I am only new to Flagship although have programmed in Clipper for many years.

Thanks in Advance gtuys

1) With Windows 10, there is free Microsoft PDF printer driver available, select it when printing via PrintGui() function. There are also many other free PDF drivers available.

2) You may assign any .jpg/.gif/.png image to the GUI PushButon using the IMAGE... clause.

Thanks for the response JanB.  But I wish to create the PDF internally in the program and there is a column which contains groups of 10 - 20 numbers and I wish to assign a gradient from Green through Yellow to Red background on these numbers depending on the value calculated by finding the percentage of the number as opposed to the highest number in that group. This then allows the user to visibly see any glaring anomalies within the groups.

So I wish to maybe use a library like Syncfusion  https://help.syncfusion.com/winui/overview

Again thanks for thew response.

With the above instruction, FlagShip will create .pdf files which can be viewed externally by Acrobat etc.

You can use any combination of 256*256*256 colors in GUI mode, simply add the GUICOLOR clause to your @..SAY statement.
