Return value
Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any
argument’s value is null, PrintSetSpacing returns null.
Usage
Line spacing in PowerBuilder is proportional to character height.
The default line spacing is 1.2 times the character height. When
Print starts a new line, it sets the x coordinate of the cursor to 0 and
increases the y coordinate by the current line spacing. The
PrintSetSpacing function lets you specify a new factor to be multiplied by
the character height for an open print job.
Examples
These statements start a new print job and set the vertical spacing
factor to 1.5 (one and a half spacing):
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
long Job // Define a new blank page. Job = PrintOpen() // Set the spacing factor. PrintSetSpacing(Job, 1.5) |
