[Rlib-users] RE: left-to-right presentation

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

In this specific case, just three columns' worth.  So, I don't expect it to
go beyond the width of a page.  But in another application where I may use
this orientation, I may have 4 columns, maybe 5.  It depends.

That's interesting that you can dynamically generate the XML file.  A light
bulb just turned on inside my head.  Thanks for that tip!

How many pages across would you go?

You can always make custom XML On the fly (not form a file)

And pass it in with  

rlib_add_report_from_buffer($rlib, $SOME_STRING)

You have to manage pages across your self (If the report is going to
come out in PDF)  But programatically counting is simple :)
