Report Effects

Rekall is currently rather limited in the visual effects that you can create on reports. You can, of course, set colours and fonts, and several of the controls provide frames that can be customised.

The frame style spoperty of controls like simple fields allows you to draw lines, for instance to separate records or to go above totals at the bottom of a page. To do this, add a control which has no display expression; set the shape setting to HLine and set the width setting as required. This will display the control as a horizontal line. You can also draw vertical lines by setting shape to VLine. In either case, the line is drawn between the mid-points of the ends of the controls display rectangle (so, typically. the control height or width can be reduced to little more than the width setting.
