Page Layout in Image Rendering

The Image rendering extension renders the layout of report items and data as a static image. How each item is rendered varies depending on the report item.

Report

Sub-elements of the Report RDL element are ignored, except for the Body element.

Body

The Body element is rendered as the contents of the page. The Height and Width elements are ignored. The PageHeight, PageWidth, Columns, and ColumnSpacing elements affect how the report is paginated. A border renders as the border of the body, inside the margins of the report.

The page header is rendered at the top of each page, unless the value of the PrintOnFirstPage or PrintonLastPage element is False. The height of the page header is fixed. Any items within the page header that grow larger than the height of the page header are clipped.

The following table describes how elements in the PageHeader RDL element are rendered by the Image rendering extension.
